Gambino 1980 Hierarchy

[Angelo Santino]

Based on the information, this should be a more accurate representation for 1983. Thanks to Bronx and PMAC for the corrections.

HairyKnuckles and I are ironing out 1980 and I'll post that at some point. He really did most (all) of the legwork so I can't take credit for it. I'm stuck before 1930 so I've never heard of half of these guys apart from reading Gotti Rise and Fall, Mob Star and Underboss almost 2 decades ago. What HK put together is truly amazing, I'll post that after the holidays. Salut.

Some corrections.


-Ciccone and DiBernardo were not Capos until 1986 when Gotti promoted them.


-Anthony Scotto was a Capo at this time.


-Mike Mandaglia may not have been a Capo until a little later.


-Michael Caiazza was a Capo with Joseph LaForte his Acting Capo.


-Piccolo's first name was Frank. Paterno's first name was Joseph.

[Angelo Santino]

Hairyknuckles and JD put this together.

Boss - PAUL CASTELLANO (1915)
Under - NEIL DELLACROCE (1914)
Consig - JOSEPH GALLO (1912)

With the administration direct:
ROBERT "DB" DIBERNARDO (1937)- Capo no crew -
DANIEL MARINO (1940) - soldier

Note that there are 27 listed skippers which is not on par with what the Gambino Family usually had (25). It´s possible, I guess, that the Family had 27 skippers at this particular time. It could also mean that two of the captains listed above are incorrectly listed. JOE GAMBINO (who had legal troubles at the time), FRANKIE D`POLITO (made a skipper later???), NICK MELILLO (only acting captain???, but seems unlikely), JOE CORRAO (made skipper later???) and ANTONIO INZERILLO may be 5 of the captains listed above who perhaps should not be there. INZERILLO being a captain comes from poster Felice and his info is usually pretty accurate. No official info on INZERILLO though. INZERILLO is the individual who was murdered in 1981.

[Angelo Santino]

I think I read in Boss of Bosses that Tommy Agro was direct with Joe N. Gallo, but I could be misremembering or it may not be accurate.

[HairyKnuckles]

I think I read in Boss of Bosses that Tommy Agro was direct with Joe N. Gallo, but I could be misremembering or it may not be accurate.

Nice work!

Yeah, it could be accurate. Agro was very close to Gallo. Gallo tried to influence Castellano to make Agro a skipper but this never materialized according to Gallo´s FBI file.

A side note, the asterix (*) in front of some of the names listed indicates a suspected member, or someone who was made in the years shortly after 1980. Year of birth in parentheses, Just found out that Salvatore Trapani was born in or around 1913 and not 1908 as listed.
