I meant other Badalamenti's. It's two branches, one from Carini and one from Torretta. They lived between Brooklyn and Astoria

Anthony Pipitone's dad is also named Antonino, his brother is Vito. You're right, Salvatore Spatola (Joe's father) married with an aunt of Anthony Pipitone, he was cooperating and then changed his mind. He was arrested some years ago in Italy, he was still moving drug.

Gallinas were 6 brothers, plus many other cousins. Giuseppe's sons are a mess lol one came back to live in Sicily some years ago, he got arrested, did some months and went back to NY

yes, that's him :)
Anthony Pipitone's married with a Troia but I don't know her family background.
Another aunt of Pipitone married a Candela. He was born in a family where the mafia was everywhere. His father's firt cousin was one of the most important sicilian drug trafficker in the 80s, Angelo Antonino Pipitone.

How comes Pipitone endend to be with Bonannos? The Gallinas and the Pipitone answered to Francesco and John Gambino

Ridgewood: Sorry for your loss. A brother is a brother and I'm sure deep down he still had love for you in his heart..

Maybe there will be reconciliation and peace in the next life.

Now for my question: Did you have any dealings or encounters with the Bath Ave crew? The "farm teams" of that era is very fascinating. How much did you know about each other in all those young crews roaming the different boroughs? Feels like the last generation of those kinds of groups was in your heyday.
