Chicago Outfit Lineage Chart 1928-2017

[Villain]

Heres one testimony from 1950 in which Roselli says that he met Capone through Esposito: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.htm ... apone_1928

And another one which states that Dragna came to visit Capone in 1928/29

And Masseria extorting 50k from Capone before he was made by him

In addition, during the late 1900’s or early 1910’s Giovanni Torrio and Gaetano Ricci a.k.a. Tony Goebels allegedly started or possibly helped in the “importing” of many Italian criminals and also mob members mostly from the Brooklyn area in New York. Anyway these were just two of the main gangsters or as I want to call them, “fathers” of an organization which will rule the streets of Chicago for the next 70 years. By now I believe the only Chicago allies that they had were the ex-Black Hand members who switched their alliance to the Torrio/Colosimo mob and many different non-Italian gangsters that operated in the city or in their territories.

So guys I think that we're almost done?! Snakes, what about that underboss position? Sorry but I have to remind you since I know that you can take your time all the way during thorough research

[Snakes]

I'll look at it today, I promise!

[Snakes]

Underboss

Louis Campagna 1932 1939

Phil D’Andrea 1939 1943

Tony Accardo 1943 1946

Sam Giancana 1946 1956
No opinion on the above as they fall outside my area of study

Frank Ferraro 1956 1964 (Ferraro died in 1964)
Supported by numerous sources

Sam Battaglia 1964 1965 (became boss)
Supported by numerous sources

Jack Cerone 1965 1967 (became boss)
This was originally Alderisio but I think you meant to place Cerone here. He was never specifically cited as the #2 guy but evidence proves that his status was of a comparable position.

Phil Alderisio 1967 1969 (imprisoned)
Very powerful guy. If there is original source material referencing him as #2, I haven't seen it, but if we qualify this position as "most powerful guy besides the top bosses" he is fine here.

Charles Nicoletti 1969 1975 (acting under boss who by the mid 1970’s was semi-retired or shelved)
Powerful guy during this time period, although his influence waned as the decade went on. I would almost place Aiuppa as the underboss for 1969-1971(ish) with Accardo as the boss and Ricca as the top boss. Either way, Nicoletti is probably the best option here.

Jack Cerone 1975 1986 (imprisoned in 1986)
Cerone did not immediately return to power upon his release from prison. It didn't take him long to return there, however. I'd say he was #2 again by 1975. Look at the "Last Supper" photo: Cerone was there and Nicoletti wasn't, which makes me believe that Cerone outranked him by that time.

John DiFronzo 1986 1992 (became boss)
I almost want to place Ferriola here for a year or two but the evidence isn't overwhelming enough for me to do so.

Joe Andriacchi 1992 2009
This is a weird time period for me. I see Andriacchi as the true #2, holding that position and that of acting boss simultaneously. I think he was content with running EP and allowing Monteleone to become boss but the Frank Sr. wiretaps almost make it sound like Andriacchi jumped him (Monteleone). I really don't know. I can also see Marcello as underboss with various guys acting for him on the outside, including Tornabene and Zizzo. Anyone else want to chime in?

Thanks. Me personally, I agree on most of the chart, although i dont have much to say regarding Andriacchi since i also dont know much regarding that time, which means that maybe we should also hear on some of the guys' opinions on that same matter. But i have only one thing in mind, and thats the Cerone/Alderisio and Im not saying that you're wrong but all Im saying is that maybe we should compare our findings and make one final conclusion regarding the two. Tomorow Ill post my thoughts and findings on it since now im off to watch the new movie Jigsaw with my nephews lol

[Frank]

I thought we already decided that Cerone replaced Battaglia, maybe with Accardo and or Ricca actually being boss until he was fully groomed. And Alderisio being Underboss.

[Frank]

I'm sorry with Cerone having Official underboss title until fully groomed and Alderisio Underboss after Cerone was fully groomed and named boss.

[Snakes]

Villain originally had Alderisio twice in succession on there. That's why I thought he meant to have Cerone on there first.

[SILENT PARTNERZ]

Could one of you guys post the last supper picture, and/or list
the names of the guys shown? Thanks

[Frank]

Yes Calebrese did state that boss could have been Addriacchi. Wasn't that in code. Does anyone have a date that this came from. Maybe feds decoded it wrong.

[Snakes]

I don't think that it was incorrectly transcribed. He pretty clearly says Joe. What gets confusing is that he mentions both Joes (Andriacchi and Lombardo) and both Johns (DiFronzo and Monteleone), who were probably the top four guys at the time. Sometimes it's clear who he is referring to, other times it isn't.

Is there a time period for that?? Or date??

[Snakes]

Roughly 1998 to 2002

[Confederate]

@Snakes
Why isn't Auippa listed as an underboss at some point?? Had to be before becoming Top Boss. Maybe like 68 to somewhere in the early 70's?
