Soliai, Is the guy on the far left with his hand waving, Joe Profaci? I was just reading about the Gallo- Profaci war and that kind of looks like him.

Definitely not Profaci.

Second from right looks like Jimmy Squillante, but could just be the glasses.

No no, not Profaci. To me, it looks like Andrew Torregrossa Jr, a Gambino member. I do not recognize the other three.

Where did you find this pic? Was there any description connected to it?
There you have it, never printed before.

Based on the clothes, the styles of glasses, and the table ware, I'd say it comes from the early 1970s. The 2nd person from the left looks familiar, but can't name him on top of my head. Would be good to compare with the FBN Mafia book.

The guy on the left does look like someone who I vaguely remember confusing with Joe Profaci before. Wasn't there a picture of a guy wrongly id'd as a younger Profaci? Somehow that's in my memory.

Yes all Gambinos, except for the 2nd guy from the right (who I believe could be Anthony Rizzo), who I'm not sure who it is and if he's even made.......Soliai

The guy on the far right is wearing a pinky ring!

If they are all Gambino's then the man on the left definitely resembles the picture of Torregrosa from the FBN book.

That's the father in the FBN book. The one in the picture that Solai posted is the son.
