D'Aquila's mother's surname was Cali.

Going through some older posts and digging this up because I didn't make the connection at the time, but it's an interesting coincidence if nothing else that D'Aquila was a Cali and lived in the same general area where Frank Cali's parents ended up having property, and Cali also ended up with the decina formerly headed by Jerome D'Aquila and made up of remnants of the D'Aquila faction decades earlier. Some of it would seem to be random, since Cali was connected to the John Gambino decina that was temporarily absorbed by the D'Amico crew (the one that traces back to D'Aquila), but it's still pretty incredible that Cali could be distantly related to the D'Aquilas and end up in a crew that traces directly back to the D'Aquilas.

We covered it in the article. See 8 and 11.

Joseph 'J.B.' Indelicato, now 86, is the uncle of Anthony 'Bruno' Indelicato. He was a capo in the early 2000s, with Bruno Indelicato being a member of his crew. The guy has managed to stay under the radar for years - the only time he's served was in the 80s. He was implicated, but never charged, in the Galante hit. Around Christmastime in 2012 he was at a meeting with the Bonanno's complete ruling panel (Vinny Asaro, Tommy DiFiore and Fat Tony Rabito), and high-ranking Florida capo Jerry Chilli who came up to New York after a six year stretch in prison for Christmas and was snapped by probation officials. Why Indelicato was at a meeting with such high-ranking Bonanno guys is anyone's guess but it's very suspicious.

Here is a picture of him:

Good find on the picture. Don't think he was ever a Capo though. He was a Soldier in the Cantarella Crew in 2002 and then wound up under the Bascaino-Cicale Crew after the defections.

Not trying to spread mis information but someone posted on Topix that he believed this guy was true power and boss of the Bonanno. Just passing that along, that he was seen in that light by someone. Not saying it's true but you guys are great at finding out the truth

You're right, I don't think he was a capo in the early 2000s but possibly in the 70s/early 80s.
Thanks for the info on the crews he was in.

There isn't a lot of information on this guy but the fact he attended a ruling panel meeting shows that he was/is held in very high regard. Wouldn't surprise me if he was on the ruling panel at some point in the 2000s or even held consigliere position during the Bonanno's more tumultuous times.

With his experience he probably has been consulted by a lot of administration members throughout the past fifteen years following Massino turned.

Yes there is that time period in around 2009 that most all charts state a ruling panel with Sammartino and the rest unknown. I'm not saying he was one of them, but speculating it's possible. His meeting with those powerful members seems to open up some speculation about him and what power he has or had at that time period.

Yes. I don't believe anyone is the "true power" in the Bonannos. Their leadership is pretty well-defined.

Do you mean that it has been basically a ruling panel. In current indictments it mentions a ruling panel that currently helps Cammarano run the Family.

Sorry, I should've made myself clearer. What I meant is that I don't believe there is some secret, mysterious "true power" like JB Indelicato or, as someone said in another thread, Peter Calabrese. Maybe that is the case in the West Side, or even the Gambinos, but the Bonannos have never done things that way.

I agree, think first of all that if Indelicato had an administrative position it was in the past. I compare him to Vito Grimaldi, in that he was a power of a faction and very behind the scenes. You have to figure with all the bosses and temporary be bosses constantly being taken off the streets, the older members had to basically take charge at times or provide alot of advice. I don't know how Mancuso became Officialboss, but I believe he is or possibly was.I tend to think he resolved problem in Family by naming Cammarano acting boss. But we will see when he gets out. Maybe Cammarano and Grimaldi pushed him out.
