A. Accetturo
By August 1982 Anthony Accetturo served as Abate's Acting Captain.

Late that month crew member Joseph LaMorte was inducted into the Lucchese Family under Accetturo's sponsorship.

CW Alfonso D'Arco, who was made in the same ceremony and who subsequently rose to Acting Boss before defecting in 1991, later testified: "Joe LaMorte was sponsored by the Jersey faction, his Captain at that time was Anthony Accetturo [who was] an Acting Captain at that time...[The] old captain was Joe Abate, but Accetturo was doing all the running around. Joe was old."

By the mid-to-late 1980s Abate stepped down as Captain and was officially succeeded by Accetturo.

Robert Amuso (Lucchese)

Jul. 1993
Robert 'Bobby' Amuso (1933-1994) was a Captain in the Lucchese Family with interests in Brooklyn, Queens and possibly Florida.

Younger brother Vittorio 'Little Vic' Amuso has remained the Lucchese Family's Boss since late 1986 despite spending the last 35 years in Federal prison.

Robert was born May 15, 1933 in Brooklyn to Giuseppe (40y), a tailor, and Theresa Petrelli (39y). Parents from Jatrinoli (present-day Taurianova) comune of Reggio Calabria.

At the time of Robert's birth the family resided at 103-02 Glenwood Rd in the neighborhood of Canarsie.

By the 1940s father Giuseppe owned a tailor shop about four miles to the west in Park Slope.

Served in US Army from May 29, 1953 to April 26, 1955.

In May 1973 possibly one of the incorporators of Lando Building Corporation located at 777 Lancaster Rd in Orlando, Florida. Others were Florida resident Frank Macina as well as Patsy Spallone and Joseph Luccisano, both of Howard Beach, Queens.

By Fall 1977 owned or held a financial interest in the Cricket Motel located at 164-49 Cross Bay Blvd in Howard Beach.

In July 1978 included in FBI list of approximately 80 identified Lucchese Family members. An asterisk next to the name indicated that Amuso's membership was suspected but not yet confirmed, a designation typically used when a newly inducted or previously unknown member had only been identified by a single source.

Both Robert and his brother Vic are believed to have been made around this time through the sponsorship of Captain Chris 'Christy Tick' Furnari (1924-2018).

C. Furnari
Furnari, born 1924 to a Sicilian father and inducted by the late 1950s, supervised his crew from the 19th Hole bar located in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

By the late 1970s made members of Furnari's crew included Robert Amuso, Vittorio Amuso, Frank Bellino, Anthony 'Gaspipe' Casso, Angelo Defendis, Nicola 'Nicky Edkins' DiCostanzo and Thomas 'Big Tommy' DiDonato. (Casso may have been reporting to Louis 'Louie Beans' Foceri for a time.)

Possible crew members included Victor Aita, Michael 'Mike the Cream' Jannotta, Saverio 'Sebby' Maimone and John Trematerra. (Trematerra may not have been made at the time. Aita, Jannotta and Maimone were suspected members.)

On August 25, 1980 FBI CI reported: "Source advised Christy Tick Furnari, Capo Lucchese LCN Family, meets with his crew every Wednesday evening at the 19th Hole, 1402 86th Street, Brooklyn."

By mid-to-late 1982 Furnari had been elected the Family's Consigliere and Robert's brother Vic took over the 19th Hole crew.

By October 1984 possibly resided on Conklin Ave in Canarsie.

By mid-1980s loanshark customers included Bonanno Associate Gasper 'Gary' Valenti, cousin of Bonanno Soldier Vincent Asaro. (Valenti subsequently left New York due to his mounting debts and decades later became a cooperating witness.)

Following the unsanctioned murder of Gambino Boss Paul Castellano in December 1985, the Amuso brothers became involved in a joint Genovese-Lucchese plot to kill Castellano's successor, John Gotti, as well as several of his supporters.

F. DeCicco
Robert was an on-scene participant in the April 13, 1986 bombing murder of Gotti's Underboss Frank DeCicco.

The hit team detonated the explosive when they mistook 19th Hole crew member Frank Bellino, who was standing with DeCicco, for intended primary target John Gotti.

1986
By July 1986 owned Surf Side III Motel located on Cross Bay Blvd in Howard Beach.

V. Amuso
Gang Land News
Around mid-November 1986 Lucchese Boss Antonio 'Tony Ducks' Corallo, facing impending conviction in the Commission case, met with other Family leaders and chose Vic Amuso as his successor.

A. Luongo (L)
On November 18 Lucchese Captain Anthony 'Buddy' Luongo disappeared.

Luongo was believed to have joined with Salvatore 'Tom Mix' Santoro, Corallo's Underboss and Commission case co-defendant, in a plot to take over the Family.

Victim lured to a meeting with Vic Amuso, Robert Amuso and Anthony Casso, the 19th Hole's New Captain, at an apartment linked to Genovese Member Dominick 'Swaggy' Carlucci.

During the meeting, one of the Amuso brothers (sources differ on which) walked into another room, retrieved a pistol and shot Luongo to death. Body disposed of in undisclosed location and victim's car left parked at JFK International Airport in Queens.

The day after Luongo's disappearance Corallo, Santoro and Consigliere Chris Furnari were convicted in the Commission case; each subsequently given 100 years.

By February 1987 Anthony Casso had moved up to Acting (?) Consigliere and Robert Amuso was designated Captain.

P. Chiodo
That month 19th Hole crew associate Peter 'Fat Pete' Chiodo was inducted into the Lucchese Family. Robert and Frank Lastorino drove Chiodo to the ceremony, which was presided over by Boss Vic Amuso and held above a Brooklyn funeral parlor.

C. Furnari Jr.
By the spring Chris Furnari's son, Chris 'Jumbo' Furnari Jr., had been inducted and named Acting Captain of the Amuso crew.

Furnari Jr. was soon demoted and shelved on Boss Vic Amuso's orders. CW Burt Kaplan, a long-time Furnari associate who flipped in 2005, later testified: "Furnari's son was given a position when Furnari went to prison, but he didn't get along with Anthony Casso...Casso told me that Chris's son was visiting him and when he came back, he would tell Vic and Gas, My father said this and my father said that, and there was no truth to it. The father never sent any messages like that." (Furnari Jr. also ordered a beating that he falsely claimed was authorized by Robert Amuso, according to a summary of CW Thomas Carew's testimony posted on The Black Hand Forum.)

By April 1987 Robert owned the Walnut Bar at E 92nd St and Flatlands Ave in Canarsie, later described by Former Lucchese Acting Boss turned CW Alfonso 'Little Al' D'Arco as the 19th Hole faction's headquarters.

Around late 1987 Alfonso D'Arco, then a Soldier, was ordered by Vic Amuso to pass along a message for Lucchese Captain (?) Anthony 'Curly' Russo to meet with Robert at the bar. (It was while relaying this message that D'Arco was first introduced to Lucchese Soldier Anthony 'Bowat' Baratta; D'Arco and Baratta would later serve in the Family's administration as Acting Boss and Acting Underboss respectively.)

By 1988 made members of Robert Amuso's crew believed included Frank Bellino, Peter Chiodo, Angelo Defendis, Nicola DiCostanzo, Frank Lastorino, John Petrucelli and George Zappola.

Associates included Oscar Ansourian, Thomas 'Tommy Irish' Carew, Michael DeSantis, Corrado 'Dino' Marino, James 'Jimmy' McCann and Richard Pagliarulo. (Carew and Dino Marino later became CWs.)

Amuso operated as loanshark for other high-ranking Lucchese Family members. Alfonso D'Arco later testified: "[Bobby] would lend out to all the captains 100,000 and up or 200,000, whatever they need. If they needed money, to go to him. He would charge certain guys, very few, a quarter of a point. Which was like -- they would re-lend this money or use it for their scheme, at up to three points."

Around late May-June 1988 Vic Amuso promoted both Peter Chiodo and Alfonso D'Arco to Captains at a meeting held inside the basement of a residence near the Walnut Bar.

Chiodo is believed to have been given a piece of Amuso's crew, including Associates Thomas Carew, Michael DeSantis and Richard Pagliarulo; Chiodo sponsored the latter two for membership the following year.

Robert attended the August-September 1988 ceremony where six new members were formally inducted.

Ceremony, presided over by Vic Amuso and Consigliere Anthony Casso, held in basement of residence owned by Genovese Member Dominick Carlucci. Others present included Captains Robert Amuso, Salvatore Avellino and Alfonso D'Arco.

Those inducted were:
  1. Anthony 'Big Tony' Calagna (50y)
  2. George 'Goggles' Conte (28y)
  3. Joseph D'Arco (32y)
  4. Anthony Senter (33y)
  5. Joseph Testa (33y)
  6. Joseph 'Jo Jo' Truncale (57y)
Alfonso D'Arco's debriefing report states that Conte, Senter, Testa and Truncale were all assigned to the Amuso crew.

The ceremony is further described in the 2013 book Mob Boss: The Life of Little Al D'Arco, the Man Who Brought Down the Mafia.

The book notes that Robert, using a 'big, nasty-looking' safety pin, left 'blood all over' by nearly punching 'right through' the inductees' trigger fingers.

In late 1988 Vic Amuso and Consigliere Anthony Casso summoned the Family's New Jersey regime to a meeting in Brooklyn. The crew members were supposed to meet up at the Walnut Bar and then be taken to the site of the meeting in the basement of a nearby residence.

It was Robert Amuso, along with others not identified, who subsequently brought the news to the waiting administration members that the Jersey crew members, after arriving at the bar, refused to go to the second location and abruptly left. This was the first of multiple aborted meetings that resulted in murder contracts being issued on Jersey Captain Anthony 'Tumac' Accetturo and others; the contracts were still open when Alfonso D'Arco became a cooperating witness three years later.

T. Gilmore
Around the same time D'Arco met with Vic Amuso at a restaurant in Queens, where Amuso ordered the murder of D'Arco crew Associate Thomas 'Red' Gilmore. According to D'Arco, Amuso suspected Gilmore of being an informant and of having robbed Robert Amuso's residence.

In early February 1989 members of D'Arco's crew shot Gilmore to death outside his residence in Ozone Park, Queens.

Also around this time Lucchese Associate Burt Kaplan, who acted as the intermediary between Consigliere Anthony Casso and two corrupt NYPD Detectives, was informed by one of the cops that the pair had been approached by Lucchese Associate Julio 'Red' Calder. Kaplan was told that Calder had attempted to enlist the pair in a plot to burglarize Robert Amuso's home. Calder was murdered later that year.

G. Zappola
Gang Land News
By the spring of 1989 Robert stepped back due to health and George Zappola was named the crew's Acting Captain. CW Alfonso D'Arco later testified: "[Bobby] had cancer and it was pretty serious...Vic removed him. He didn't remove him, he just gave him that nobody should bother him and Bobby was told to like take it easy. They appointed an Acting Captain in his place [meaning] George Zappola."

F. Lastorino
Gang Land News
Amuso remained an official Captain but several of his men were transferred to Frank Lastorino, who was promoted to Captain of a new crew around the same time. (It appears that by 1989 the original 19th Hole crew under Furnari had been split up three ways among Amuso, Lastorino and Peter Chiodo.)

J. Petrucelli
FBI Wanted Poster
In September 1989 Lucchese Soldier John Petrucelli, an Amuso crew member, was shot to death in White Plains, New York for harboring fugitive Gus Farace.

Alfonso D'Arco, tasked with supervising the murder, left the ailing Amuso out of the plotting.

J. DeFede
In October 1989 visited Joseph 'Little Joe' DeFede, an Associate direct with Robert's brother Vic, at The Liberty Lounge in Ozone Park. DeFede later testified: "[Vic] put me on what we call on his list, I was proposed, and I didn't know exactly when [until Bobby] called me to come down...[Bobby] told me to get dressed. This was on Saturday, to get dressed, on Monday somebody will pick you up, which they did, they dropped me off at a Canarsie restaurant, met a few other people there, in turn we went into Brooklyn."

DeFede was driven by Lucchese Associate James McCann to The Pier restaurant in Canarsie. From there he and others were taken to a residence on Farragut Rd where the ceremony occurred. (The house was owned by Lucchese Soldier Peter 'Rugsy' Vario's son-in-law, named by CW D'Arco as [FNU] Albanese. This may be Lucchese Associate Anthony 'Tony Shape' Albanese.)

Ceremony presided over by Boss Vic Amuso and Consigliere Anthony Casso.

Others present included Captains Robert Amuso, Salvatore Avellino, Anthony Baratta, Peter Chiodo, Alfonso D'Arco and Soldier John Conti.

Others inducted in addition to DeFede (55y) were Michael DeSantis (34y), Frank 'Frankie Pearl' Federico (61y), Richard Pagliarulo (40y) and Frank 'Frankie Bones' Papagni (32y).

D'Arco's debriefing on the ceremony states that DeFede and Papagni were assigned to the Amuso crew after induction.

During his court appearances DeFede made no mention of being in Amuso's crew and instead testified that he was placed with Captain Frank Lastorino.

In late May 1990 Vic Amuso and Anthony Casso fled New York to avoid indictment in the Windows case.

They remained fugitives until their captures in July 1991 and January 1993 respectively.

A. D'Arco (L) and P. Modica
Around late 1990 Alfonso D'Arco was tasked with collecting on a $100,000 loan made by Amuso to Philip Modica, a Gambino Soldier in James 'Jimmy Brown' Failla's crew. D'Arco later testified:
"
Shylock money, I went and collected for [Bobby] that was owed by another Gambino member, Soldier named Phil Modica. [I] also collected some jewelry from Philip Modica, his son...The payments from Philly Modica went to Frankie Lastorino to pass on to [Bobby] Amuso. The $100,000 was lent by Bobby to Philip Modica and he was sick and Philly Modica wasn't paying.

I went to explain, you either have to pay the money fully, because he was a member, or pay it all up at once or pay the back payment which was $500 a week, which was the interest. And he did start commencing. I had another member take the money, myself first in the beginning, to Lastorino to give it to Bobby. I wouldn't go to Bobby because he was too hot. (Likely due to brother's fugitive status.)
"

B. Borriello
Suspected co-conspirator in the April 1991 murder of Gambino Acting Captain Bartholomew 'Bobby' Borriello.

Victim, shot to death outside his Bath Beach, Brooklyn, residence, killed for his involvement in an attempted hit on Anthony Casso nearly five years earlier.

In July 1991 Vic Amuso was apprehended in Scranton, Pennsylvania and held without bail to await trial on Federal racketeering charges. (He has remained incarcerated since.)

Two months later Former Acting Boss Alfonso D'Arco became a Cooperating Witness.

The following summer he testified against Amuso, who was convicted and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment.

Other witnesses included Former Captain Peter Chiodo, who flipped a couple of months before D'Arco.

Jul. 1993
On July 27, 1993 Robert appeared under subpoena at FBI's New York Office where fingerprinted and photographed.

Claimed ownership of the Surf Side Motel and also described himself as the former office manager for Paul Fire Protection Inc. in Astoria, Queens.

By the end of the summer it was learned that Underboss Anthony Casso, Acting Consigliere Frank Lastorino and others had been plotting to kill Robert Amuso and Associate Oscar Ansourian.

Casso and Lastorino were later demoted; Casso then made a failed attempt at cooperating with the government.

Around September 1993 multiple Lucchese Family Captains called in for questioning to ensure loyalty to the imprisoned Boss. Those involved in questioning included Captain Robert Amuso, Soldier Joseph DeFede, Soldier Frank Gioia Jr. and Associate Oscar Ansourian. Gioia Jr., who defected the following year, later testified:
"
The original structure with Vic and Gas, the Boss and Underboss, both of them had to go on the lam...Vic gets arrested, Gaspipe's on the street. Eventually, Gaspipe gets arrested. Then there's all kinds of things on tapes and stuff that there might be a demise in the Family. So Vic went to the other Families for help, and basically he broke everybody down and put Joe D [DeFede] as Acting Boss of the Family.

...To protect Joe D, we knew there was Big Frank [Lastorino] and Anthony Gaspipe on the tapes. There were a couple of other people involved in the tapes, but we couldn't pin exactly who they were. So as we're trying to figure it out, it's Vic's brother [Robert], Oscar Ansourian and Joe D and myself. [We're] meeting them trying to figure out who are the guys trying to plot...Vic said, Call in all the captains. I want you to ask them all a question: Am I still your Boss? And I call the captains. A lot of captains showed; two didn't show: George Conte and George Zappola. [Zappola] used the excuse he was on the lam. Conte was paranoid. And we figured out who the guys were, and then we were plotting to have them killed...I was arrested right after [the initial plotting]. Bones [Frank Papagni] was relaying messages to me, telling me that basically all the captains came in. [Zappola and Conte] was shelved [and] they were worried for their lives. And everything came out [about the plot].
"

O. Ansourian
Press
Lucchese Associate Oscar Ansourian made a suggestion during one of the meetings: "[Oscar] was a longtime friend of Vic Amuso -- wasn't a made guy because he was Lebanese or Syrian, whichever the case was -- and he says, Hey, look, let's get them all together in a club. He says, I got a rocket launcher. We'll just drive by and rocket-launch the place. We can get them all at once...I didn't believe that he had a rocket launcher on him. And when I walked away, I says, How can he -- he's talking about missiles and rocket launchers and stuff like that. Meanwhile, about a year and a half, two years later, I'm in the can, and ultimately he got arrested for it, you know, rocket launchers, all the stuff he was talking about using, he got arrested for. So obviously, he was serious about it."

The following April Vic Amuso named Joseph DeFede as his new Acting Boss. (DeFede, like his predecessor Alfonso D'Arco, later became a cooperating witness.)

Robert Amuso died September 5, 1994.

FBI video surveillance was conducted during his wake at Towers Funeral Home in Oceanside, Long Island.

Buried in Saint Charles Cemetery in East Farmingdale, Long Island.

John Gotti Sr. Wake (1992)

Surveillance photographs taken during the wake of Gambino Boss John Gotti's father held June 27-28, 1992 at James Romanelli - Stephens Funeral Home at 89-01 Rockaway Blvd in Jamaica, Queens.

Gotti had been sentenced to life imprisonment only a few days prior.

Conte, born 1925 in Palermo and a Captain since the early 1960s, sponsored Cefalu for membership in November 1990.

His father was Former Gambino Underboss Antonino 'Nino' Conte (1902-1958).

Indicted the following year on Federal racketeering charges, Conte pleaded guilty after initially receiving a mistrial in the case.

Versaglio, who had unsuccessfully attempted to reestablish a Sicilian heroin connection during Gotti's time on the street, was subpoenaed to appear at Conte's trial and refused to answer questions while on the stand. As a result he was convicted of criminal contempt and served three years in Federal prison.

Following his conviction Conte was succeeded as Captain by Domenico Cefalu.

Around 2011 Cefalu was elected the Gambino Family's new Boss, a position he is believed to still hold.

Michael DiLeonardo, sponsored for membership by D'Amico in 1988, was named Acting Captain of this crew following Underboss Salvatore Gravano's defection in late 1991.

Around 1993 DiLeonardo was named official Captain of a newly formed, separate crew.

Louis Mastrangelo (Gambino)

L. Mastrangelo
Breakdown of suspected members of the crew headed by Gambino Family Captain Louis 'Big Louie' Mastrangelo circa 2011.

Born in 1945 to a father believed to have roots in Foggia, Puglia, Mastrangelo was an on-record Associate of Gambino Soldier Anthony 'Fat Andy' Ruggiano by the 1970s.

Ruggiano was then a Soldier in the crew headed by Carmine 'Charlie Wagner' Fatico (1910-1991).

Both men previously reported to Armand 'Tommy' Rava (1911-c. 1958).

Mastrangelo was later inducted into the Family and by the mid-2000s had been promoted to Captain.

On January 17, 2011 he and several other Gambino members were present at an FBI raid of the Cafe Euro located at 69-44 Cooper Ave in Glendale, Queens.

Suspected crew list (Jan. 2011)
Agents seized cash, gambling records and at least two other items of interest: an official Government document laying out the Gambino Family's Administration and Captains circa 2002, as well as what appears to be a handwritten list of Mastrangelo's crew members. (The Government report, formatted the same as a Bonanno list from 2014, is nearly identical to a 2002 Gambino chart detailed in a separate post.)

The majority of those named go back to the Rava -> Fatico -> Gotti regimes of the 1950s - 1990s.

Suspected Mastrangelo crew members included:

1.) Ignazio 'Iggy' Alogna (1933-2016)

I. Alogna
Born March 1933 in Queens to parents from Trapani, Sicily, Alogna is believed to have been among those inducted in a ceremony held after Underboss Frank DeCicco's funeral in April 1986.

The previous December Alogna was on-scene as backup when Boss Paul Castellano was shot to death in Midtown, Manhattan.

Considered a close associate of Castellano's successor John Gotti; the two were frequently surveilled together at both the Gotti crew's Bergen Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park and at the Ravenite Social Club in Little Italy, Manhattan.

During the late 1980s Alogna reported to Gotti's younger brother Gene (1946-) then to older brother Peter (1939-2021), who took over the crew after Gene began serving a fifty-year sentence for narcotics.

Suspected participant in double homicide of social club robbers Thomas and Rosemarie Uva, shot to death inside their car on Christmas Eve 1992.

Around 1993 Gambino Associate Peter Zuccaro taken from Soldier Charles Carneglia and placed on-record with Alogna after a 'drug deal that went bad'. Zuccaro, who operated a lucrative marijuana grow house in Brooklyn, later refused an offer of membership and subsequently became a cooperating witness in 2005.

Alogna was promoted to Captain by the mid-to-late 1990s.

Around the mid-2000s he was demoted for an unsanctioned extortion attempt in Stamford, Connecticut.

Died September 2016.

2.) John 'Johnny Boy' Ambrosio

J. Ambrosio
Born January 1943 in Huntington, Long Island to Neapolitan parents, Ambrosio was involved in gambling activity throughout the area by the 1970s and into the late 1990s.

Frequently surveilled at the Bergen.

Made member by the mid-to-late 2000s.

Present at the Cafe Euro raid along with crew leader Mastrangelo and fellow crew member Raffaele DeSantis (below).

Identified as an Acting Captain in the late 2010s, when he pleaded guilty to Federal racketeering conspiracy.

3.) Francesco 'Frankie Martin' Barranca (1928-2013)

F. Barranca (1995)
Long-time member born March 1928 in Brooklyn to a father from Palermo, Sicily.

Active on the Brooklyn docks and by the 1960s reporting to former Rava associate Aniello 'Neil' Dellacroce (1914-1985).

By late 1968 Dellacroce was Carlo Gambino's official Underboss and the crew was given to Michael 'Mike Tali' Caiazzo (1912-1994).

By early 2000s reporting to Salvatore 'Fat Sally' Scala (1943-2008). (From May 2000 Govt chart posted on the forum.)

Died June 2013.

4.) 'Fred'

A. DeCongilio (2002)
Likely a reference to Gambino Soldier Alfred' Freddy Hot' DeCongilio (1929-2017).

CW Anthony Ruggiano Jr. later testified: "[Originally DeCongilio told me that Tony Guerrieri] wanted to propose him when John [Gotti] was the Boss and he told him not to because it was too late. He didn't want no part of it. He said he should have got straightened out years ago at an earlier time [with] Nicky [Corozzo] and Lenny [DiMaria]." (Corozzo and DiMaria were inducted in April 1977.)

Acquitted of Federal racketeering charges in May 2007 and died in August 2017.

8.) Richie LNU

Probably a reference to Former Gambino Captain Richard Gotti or his son Richard Gotti Jr., the younger brother and nephew respectively of Former Boss John Gotti.

9.) Gaetano 'Tommy Nap' Napoli (1938-2012)

G. Napoli
Born April 1938 in Villabate comune of Palermo, Napoli was a made member under Dominick Pizzonia by the early 2000s.

During the late 2000s represented Sicilian Mafia affiliate Robert Settineri in a dispute with the Colombo Family.

Napoli and Settineri were both indicted on Federal charges in 2010; Napoli pleaded guilty and died while serving his sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Devens, Massachusetts in September 2012.

10.) Dominick 'Skinny Dom' Pizzonia

D. Pizzonia
Former Captain of most or possibly all of Mastrangelo's suspected crew members.

Born November 1941 to a father from Reggio Calabria, Pizzonia was another Fatico-Gotti crew associate.

He and John Gotti were arrested together as teenagers in August 1959.

Two years later served as Best Man in the wedding of Gotti's older brother Peter.

By the 1970s working in a numbers operation controlled by Michael Guerrieri.

Present when Michael's older brother Anthony aka 'Tony Lee' shot and killed an Unsub in Richmond Hill, Queens. CW Anthony Ruggiano Jr., Fat Andy's son, later testified: "[My father] said he gave the guy a score to do and the guy did the score. And he gave the guy his end and the guy kept coming back asking my father to loan him money and kept on hitting my father up for money. And then one night my father was in this bar on [Atlantic Ave] and the guy came in and he wanted another loan. And my father said he had it with him, and he told 'Skinny Dom' to go get a gun. And him and 'Tony Lee' and 'Skinny Dom' drove the guy down [Atlantic Ave and] when they got to 126th Street, my father got out of the car, made out he was [sick] and the guy came out to help my father and 'Tony Lee' shot the guy."

Around 1979 Ruggiano released Pizzonia and a few dozen other associates to the recently inducted Nicholas Corozzo after a dispute over loanshark proceeds. Ruggiano Jr. later testified: "[My father] released everybody that worked for [the Corozzos] and everyone that just did business with them but didn't actually work for them, stood with my father...Over 40 people [went to Corozzo]...[My father] was brokenhearted. Nicky broke his heart. He was never the same after that." (Anthony Ruggiano died in 1999. His son defected in 2006.)

By the 1980s Pizzonia was a mainstay at the Cafe Liberty in Ozone Park. 

Identified in cooperator testimony as an on-scene accomplice in the March 1986 murder of Gambino Soldier 'Big Gus' Sclafani. An undisclosed indiscretion committed by Pizzonia led to Gambino Captain Joseph 'Joe Butch' Corrao lodging a complaint with Boss John Gotti; as a result Pizzonia's induction was temporarily held off.

In late June 1988, again according to CW testimony, Pizzonia acted as the shooter in the murder of Anthony Ruggiano's son-in-law, Gambino Associate Frank Boccia. Boccia was lured to the Cafe Liberty by Anthony Guerrieri and shot by Pizzonia while distracted. Others present reportedly included Soldier Michael Guerrieri and Associate Alfred DeCongilio. Body taken out to sea where gutted and dumped overboard. (Both Pizzonia and DeCongilio were later acquitted of charges related to this murder.)

Pizzonia was inducted along with four others on Christmas Eve 1988.

Four years to the day later, he and Ronald 'Ronnie One-Arm' Trucchio are believed to have acted as the shooters in the Uva murders. (See above)

By late 2001 Pizzonia and Trucchio, both having since been promoted to Captain, were named as part of a three-man committee alongside Captain Thomas 'Tommy Sneakers' Cacciopoli. CW Michael DiLeonardo, a former Gambino Captain who flipped in 2002, later testified: "They were on a special committee to go around to talk to the Captains and Soldiers and make sure all the money is coming into the [Family], sort of shake-the-tree type stuff. There was a new administration in place and they wanted to maximize as much money as they could get out of everybody and they thought maybe guys were lagging [so] they try to shake the tree, go around."

Convicted of Federal charges and in February 2004 released from prison on three years supervised release.

The following year named in a Federal racketeering indictment that included counts involving the Boccia and Uva murders.

In May 2007 convicted on one count racketeering conspiracy and acquitted of other charges, including carrying out the Boccia murder. Co-defendant Alfred DeCongilio acquitted on all counts.

Four months later sentenced to fifteen years Federal imprisonment and released in November 2019.

11.) David 'Little Davie' Rava

D. Rava (2007)
Born July 1933 in Brooklyn.

Father Armand 'Tommy' Rava, from Casalnuovo di Napoli comune of Naples, Campania, was an influential Gambino Captain who disappeared not long after Family Boss Albert Anastasia's murder in the late 1950s.

Tommy Rava's crew included Anthony Ruggiano and Carmine Fatico, both mentioned above.

An FBI member source in the Gambinos clarified that David was not a member as of the late 1960s.

By 2004 he was a made member and serving as Acting Captain for Dominick 'Skinny Dom' Pizzonia.

Within days of the Cafe Euro raid Mastrangelo and many others were indicted on Federal racketeering charges.

He entered a guilty plea in February 2012 and was released in January 2014.

Joseph Giampa (Lucchese)

J. Giampa (1990s)
Breakdown of known members reporting to Lucchese Captain Joseph 'Joey G.' Giampa by late 1990.

Giampa was born in 1940 to a father believed to have roots in Palermo, Sicily.

On August 23, 1982 he and five others were inducted into the Lucchese Family in a ceremony presided over by Boss Antonio 'Tony Ducks' Corallo.

By mid-1988 Corallo was serving a one-hundred year sentence received in the Commission case and Giampa was reporting to Captain Michael Salerno (1923-1990), a wealthy and highly influential member of the Family's Bronx faction.

In late May 1990 Vittorio 'Vic' Amuso, Corallo's successor, as well as Consigliere Anthony 'Gaspipe' Casso fled New York to avoid indictment in the Windows case.

A. D'Arco
Casso met with Captain Alfonso 'Little Al' D'Arco just prior to leaving and informed D'Arco that he was being entrusted with control of high-level Family matters for the time being.

Casso also passed along the order to have Michael Salerno murdered, claiming that he had received information from a law enforcement source that Salerno was an informant.

M. Salerno
Manhattan Mob Rampage Documentary
D'Arco obeyed but believed Amuso and Casso wanted Salerno dead to remove a threat to their leadership: "[They] didn't try to show their fear, but I knew it was there, that [Salerno] was going to take over the crew; the Bronx branch was going to make a move and take over the mob, the Family. And they used the excuse when they were taking off, they thought that is when Mike was going to make a move and so they called him a rat. That is what I felt and what I believe."

D'Arco, with Casso's blessing, chose Salerno crew member Joseph Giampa to carry out the hit. Giampa enlisted his brother Santo 'Jay' Giampapa, explaining to D'Arco that he could only trust immediate family for the job.

Giampa also noted to D'Arco that Salerno's car was being serviced at the time in Giampa's auto body shop on Boston Post Rd. (D'Arco and Giampa were inducted in the same August 1982 ceremony.)

On June 9, 1990, at approximately 6:00 PM, Salerno was found shot and stabbed to death in trunk of black Jaguar parked across from 2742 Westervelt Ave in Pelham Gardens, The Bronx.

D'Arco informed fugitive Consigliere Anthony Casso by phone:
"
[I] brought up the subject of being that he had said don't trust that guy [re using Giampa in Salerno murder] and now this was done, I said, [is he] going to make him a Captain.

He said, 'Yes, we're going to make him a Captain.'

I said, 'Can I tell him now?'

He said, 'Yes.'

I says, 'So he is a Captain.'

He says, 'Yes. Fine.'

I [then] discussed a few other matters, 'Take care of yourselves,' [then] I beeped Joey and told him to meet me.
"

Giampa summoned to coffee shop on Manhattan's Upper East Side. D'Arco driven to location by Captain Dominic Truscello:
"
It was night. It was dark out and he met me on 75th or 78th Street and Lexington Avenue, there's a coffee shop there.

Joey came down and I told him that they were pleased he did it right away, that he was a Captain in the crew and that he was to take over Mike Salerno's crew.

Joey told me that [there] was $20,000 that he had owed Mike. He had brought up that he paid Mike $200 a week shylock money.

And I said, 'I'll clear it.' I said, 'Just forget about that money because' -- I said, 'I'll clear it.'

...First, [Truscello] was off to the side, I didn't want to -- and then I introduced [Giampa to Truscello] as a Captain.
"

D'Arco: "At the time I introduced him to Dom [Truscello]. I said, 'Dom, don't go around saying that he is a Captain because it's not proper.' I said, 'You've got to introduce him to his own guys first. It's like, you're not in his crew so it's not right.' So we made arrangements for his crew to come to [Brooklyn]."

Meeting where Giampa announced as Captain held at discotheque operated by D'Arco crew Associate Angelo 'Sonny Bamboo' McConnach located on Flatlands Ave in Brooklyn.

Attendees included Captains Anthony 'Bowat' Baratta, Alfonso D'Arco, Frank Lastorino, Possible Acting Captain George 'Georgie Neck' Zappola, Joseph Giampa and the members of his crew, which D'Arco later estimated to number anywhere from six to ten. Lucchese Soldiers George 'Goggles' Conte and Joseph D'Arco, Al's son, remained upstairs as security.

D'Arco: "...I introduced Joey. They all sat down. There was cake and stuff, coffee, and it was in the basement. And I introduced Joey to his crew. I said, 'This is your new Captain,' and I gave them the speech that they should stick close to him, report to him and give him all the help he can get. [Afterward] he was introduced to everybody in the place as a Captain."

D'Arco also noted: "[I] was told [Giampa] was going to be an Acting Captain but that he was to be introduced as a Captain until further notice. The only ones that would know is the administration, myself and the people at the meeting that he was to be an Acting Captain but he was supposed to be introduced as a Captain until they gave him an official okay that I would give that he would become a Captain. At that time that's what I did."

Giampa took control of various interests formerly controlled by Salerno:
  • He and others, including Lucchese Soldiers Pat Maselli (a former Salerno crew member now reporting to D'Arco) and Anthony 'Blue Eyes' Santorelli as well as Lucchese Associate Frank Salerno (Mike's nephew), began piecing together Salerno's rumored multi-million-dollar loanshark book. D'Arco assisted in collecting the money by attending meetings with, among others, Salerno customers Mario Antonicelli, a Proposed Associate with Gambino Captain Louis Ricco, and an unnamed nephew of Genovese Captain Louis 'Louie Dome' Pacella.
  • D'Arco, Giampa, Maselli and others began overseeing a landfill in Hastings, New York, in which Salerno held a 20% interest; the remaining 80% belonged to the DiNapoli brothers: Vincent ([Former?] Genovese Captain), Joseph (Lucchese Soldier) and Louis (Genovese Associate). D'Arco used the location as a free dumping site for trucks he owned through A&M hauling company.

By Fall 1990 made members of Giampa's crew included:

1.) Joseph 'Joe Capp / Joe Hooks' Capra (1916-1992)

Born in East Harlem, Manhattan to a father from San Polo Matese in Campobasso, Molise and a mother from Castello d'Alife in Caserta, Campania.

Father Michele (1888-1967) a Suspected Member. Several other relatives were confirmed members, including nephew Salvatore Avellino who, like Giampa, was a Lucchese Captain by 1990.

Capra was himself a Captain during the 1960s and into the mid-1980s, when he stepped down or was demoted in the wake of the Commission verdicts.

He may have also served in the administration at some point during the early-to-mid 1970s.

Involved in union activity with his son (below).

2.) Michael 'Mikey Capp' Capra

Born 1941 in Manhattan to Joseph and Gaetana Gagliano.

Mother, from Corleone in Palermo, a niece of Former Lucchese Boss Tomasso Gagliano.

Likely inducted in the late 1970s.

By late 1980s believed served as official with Local 48 in Manhattan, which he and his father controlled for the Family.

The Capras were kicking up $1,100 per week from the union by the time of Giampa's promotion.

3.) Ettore 'Eddie' Coco (1908-1991)

E. Coco (1980s)
Born 1908 in Palermo and a member by the early 1930s, Coco was among the Bronx faction members viewed as a candidate for leadership in the wake of the Commission case.

D'Arco: "Eddie Coco was a very long-time member, very respected member of the Lucchese Family who was actually Tony Ducks' boss going back, and he made an error, he [killed] somebody outside the Family business. He got drunk in Florida and shot a guy, killed him in a gas station and went to prison. He was a very strong leader, a Captain in this Family going back [and a member] for many, many years....[He] wound up being in Mike Salerno's crew when he come out of jail [in 1984]."

D'Arco included Eddie Coco with Michael Salerno and others in the list of Bronx-Harlem members that he felt Amuso and Casso feared would take back the Family from the Brooklyn faction.

Not long after the meeting where Giampa was introduced as the new crew leader, Coco was indicted in Baltimore on Federal racketeering charges involving bingo parlors in that city.

D'Arco offered to help Coco in a dispute with Lucchese Soldier 'Bad Anthony' DiMeglio that involved an arson committed at one of the parlors, however, Coco refused to 'come down' for a meet and the matter was dropped.

He died late the following year.

4.) Daniel 'Squire' Latella (1940-2003)

Born in The Bronx to a father from San Bartolomeo in Galdo comune of Benevento, Campania.

Father-in-law Michael 'Mikey Fish' DeRienzo (1912-1987) was a Possible Member.

Sponsored for membership by Joseph Capra shortly after the books opened in 1976.

By Fall 1984 he reported to Captain Anthony 'Buddy' Luongo and was a partner with Luongo in the Sav on Discotheque in Allerton, The Bronx and in Club A. Disco in Lenox Hill, Manhattan.

Following year began serving two-and-one-half to five year New York State sentence for weapon and drug possession.

During Latella's incarceration Anthony Luongo was murdered for plotting against Antonio Corallo.

Paroled December 1989.

By 1990 owned Gun Hill Paper Inc. located on E Gun Hill Rd in Williamsbridge, The Bronx.

Also operated a luncheonette / social club in the same area that was used for meetings between D'Arco and members of the Giampa crew.

D'Arco: "Danny Latella was involved on behalf of the Lucchese Family and himself [in] gambling, joker poker machines which were controlled by part of the Family. And he also [had] his own shylock business and numbers and other types of gambling and selling cars and everything -- lot of different things on his own for himself."

Latella was part of a group that fugitive Underboss Anthony Casso conspired to murder upon his planned return to New York for 'taking advantage of him' while he was on the lam. (Casso was apprehended in January 1993 and made a failed attempt at cooperation.)

Died September 2003.

5.) 'Miggs / Mig' LNU

D'Arco could only identify this individual by his nickname and described him as approximately eighty years old.

Former Acting Consigliere Mariano Macaluso is referred to as 'Miggs' in some reports, although D'Arco makes it clear elsewhere that he knew who Macaluso was.

A probable match is Dominic 'Miggs' Galluccio (1910-1996).

Born to a father from Sant'Agata di Militello, Messina, Galluccio grew up in Van Nest, The Bronx before moving to the village of Tuckahoe in Westchester County.

By the 1960s his close associates included Mariano Macaluso and other Bronx-Harlem members; in 1969 he was indicted with Acting Boss Carmine 'Gribbs' Tramunti and the Capra brothers Joseph and Daniel, the latter a member who died in 1982. (Tramunti may have already been elected the official Boss.)

Died March 1996.

6.) Unsub (possibly aka 'Buster')

D'Arco: "[In Giampa's crew] there is a guy I never met, I know the guy, Buster or something, I never met him."

This could be referring to Sebastian Nuccio (1936-2010), included in a 2006 government membership list posted on the forum.

Nuccio's father, along with several other relatives, was a made member in the Family's Prince Street crew.

It's also possible that 'Buster' refers to another member entirely or that D'Arco misremembered the nickname.

7.) Other(s)

D'Arco: "[Crew included the above] and yes, there [was] a couple of more guys I can't think of right now."

Associates of interest included:

1.) Joseph 'Joey Blue Eyes' Cosentino

Born 1943 in Manhattan and by the late 1980s an Associate in the Family's Bronx faction.

D'Arco: "Joey Blue Eyes is supposed to be a nephew of Tom Santoro. At that time [early 1990s] he was a nonmember, but he was supposed to be related to Tom Mix, Tom Santoro, who was the Underboss."

He and Anthony Magana (below) were convicted of involvement in the September 1989 murder of Lucchese Soldier John Petrucelli. Family Boss Vittorio Amuso specifically ordered that Cosentino participate in the hit.

The pair's legal fees were partially covered by crew leader Michael Salerno and subsequently by Giampa.

Approved for membership and scheduled to be inducted by March 1991, Cosentino was unable to attend due to incarceration in the Petrucelli case.

Released in 2016 and, according to Lucchese Member turned CW John Pennisi, has since become a member.

2.) Santo 'Jay' Giampapa (1936-1994)

Brother to Joseph, Santo was inducted for his role in the Salerno murder in March 1991, the same ceremony that Cosentino and Magana missed.

In 1992 the brothers were acquitted at trial in a Federal racketeering case brought in the wake of D'Arco's defection.

Santo died July 1994.

The following month Joseph was charged in another Federal racketeering indictment, this one out of Newark, and convicted. Released in September 2001.

3.) Anthony Magana

A. Magana (1989)
Born 1945 in The Bronx, Magana was another Associate in the Salerno crew by the late 1980s.

He and Joseph Cosentino were directed to participate in the Petrucelli murder; Magana was caught at the scene and Cosentino was apprehended some time after.

Also scheduled to be made in the March 1991 ceremony.

Served approximately twenty-five years for murder and released in 2016.

4.) 'Big Marco' Minuto (1936-2026)

Pointman for Giampa with Local 202 at Hunts Point Market in The Bronx.

Inducted by Joseph 'Little Joe' DeFede, D'Arco's successor as Acting Boss, around 1995.

Died August 2026.
