[JoelTurner]

Genovese member Anthony Giacalone (Jul 3 1936 - Apr 1 2011) was born to Vito Giacalone & Anna Cocucci. He had arrests for theft, bookmaking, & narcotics. He was made in early 1978 (per LCNBios) and was a member of the Boiardo crew.

Vito Giacalone (1887 - Vita) was born to Melchiore Giacalone & Antonina Cadela. His siblings were well connected. His brother Antonio, father of Gambino member Mariano Giacalone, stayed with the Salvatore Lombardino. His sister Antonina married Newark underboss Sam Monaco’s uncle Lorenzo Monaco.
Effectively, on his paternal side, Anthony Giacalone was a first cousin to Mike Giacalone and a second cousin to Sam Monaco.

Anna Cocucci (13 Dec 1895 - NJ) was born to Achille Cocucci & Teolinda Altobelli. She had interesting siblings too. Her sister Mary married Vito Gruppuso (22 Jan 1894 - Vita); his family was intermarried with the Monacos.

While Anthony Giacalone largely skated under the radar, his family was super connected
