If I recall correcly Angelo LOnardo testified before the senate that They gave up youngstown, He then said Polizzi did it but he didnt state what year. I thought that was interesting statement. I wonder what he meant by that . From
Youngstown went exclusively to Pittsburgh by 1982, a few years before LaRocca died.
YEah in the 80's , maybe lonardo miss spoke , but he said POlizzi oked it. which lead me to believe it was way earlier to cleveland ever have full control
In all reality, Pittsburgh moved hard immediately following the death of Tony DelSanter. Had Tony D lived, he and Charlie would have worked it out with Prato and Naples. Tony D was close to Dominic Mallamo and had much respect from Prato...which was rare, Prato was trigger happy and as unreasonable as they came...I actually am amazed he made it through all the decades without getting popped...but Mallamo was his mother's sibling. Plus he had Paul & Mike Romeo.
Stroccos, could you find any photos of Paul or Mike Romeo?

They had no respect for Licavoli or MOrceri ? Possibly because of Licavoli not having any for Mallamo refusing to sit some years earlier interesting stuff and for licavoli acint like a peasent .
I can try . Maybe somebody has a pic of them.

Prato wanted to kill my uncle for not having his daughter's wedding reception at his banquet hall but rather at the Fonderlac and the kicker was they were first cousins! If it were up to Jimmy Prato, he would have wiped out the Carabbia brothers in the 1950'a...all three of them.

For people outside the Area James Licavoli aka Jack White and Leo "Lips" Moceri (May he rot in Hell is too good for him).
I agree..for that matter, you could also add Buffalo in there as part of the connection since Joe DiCarlo came to Youngstown and set up shop in the 1940's/50's.
