I'm not sure if Jasper Aiello was made. I didn't think he was.

I'm not sure if Cavallaro was a capo, either.

Dominic Mallamo, Paul Romeo and Mike Romeo from Youngstown were all affiliated with Pittsburgh but were also close to Tony Milano in Cleveland. Youngstown was wide open territory in the 40's-60s and they had representation from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo. The Calabrians operated very differently from the Sicilians and Youngstown had several factions. Similar to the way the Riccabene's were in Philadelphia. From the 1940's through the 1970's and into the very early 80's, Dominic Mallamo, Paul Romeo and Mike Romeo were the Power houses in Youngstown with deep national ties and blood relationships as well as direct connections in blood lines to the Calabrian Mafia or N'Drangheta. The Calabrians were always the strongest faction in Youngstown going back to the early 1900s up until 1988 when Vincenzo "Brier Hill Jimmy" Prato died.

Vince DeNiro was with Cleveland, Cadillac Charlie was with Cleveland but both of them had a grape business with Dominic Mallamo. Mallamo, Cheech Martel and Dominic Sergi used to make the best wine and I can remember being a kid going over to big Dom's house and having a little glass of wine right from the barrel. Mallamo would bring homemade wine to so many weddings and give it out to all of his family and friends. My grandfather would get him the barrels through a friend of his at the local distributor. The Carabbias were all with Cleveland. Ronnie Carabbia was a favorite of Angelo Lonardo and John Scalish.

Did Cleveland City only have one Capo in Frank Brancato? Were there any other captains identified or just a single crew?

Do we have information on what members/reps like a Louis Carriere or Mollica's immediate superior was? Another captain or direct with the admin?

(BTW, I'm updating the chart on my first first as info gets added. Thanks!)

I believe Angelo Lonardo was a Cleveland based Capo during this period.

By the late 60's, the Carabbia brothers were the dominant prescence for Cleveland. They had parts of Mahoning County and Trumbull County

POGO and Chris - Why no Pat Ferruccio from Canton?
I believe he may have started out with Cleveland but he was Consigilere with Pittsburgh when I met him.
