March 24, 1986 FBI surveillance photographs of Gambino Underboss Frank DeCicco and Gambino Soldier Louis 'Red' Giardina:
The pair was captured meeting outside DeCicco's social club located at 1628 Bath Ave in Bath Beach, Brooklyn.
Frank's father Vincent 'Bozey / Boozy' DeCicco (1913-1979), whose family came to the US from Potenza in Basilicata, was a Gambino Soldier.
Vincent's younger brother George (1929-2014) was also a made member, having been inducted around the time of Frank's promotion to Capodecina in July 1984. George took over the crew after his nephew's appointment as Underboss.
Louis Giardina's father Joseph (1896-1972) and brothers Salvatore 'Teddy' (1921-2018) and Joseph Jr. (1933-2014) were also Gambino members. The elder Joseph and his wife Maria Sorce were both from the comune of Mussomeli in Caltanissetta, Sicily.
The Giardinas reported first to Capodecina Giuseppe Traina (1883-1979) and then to Traina's son Mario (1915-1994), also nicknamed Red.
Frank DeCicco will be subject of a future post, although with the more well-known figures the format will consist of a straightforward chronology summarizing various law enforcement reports and court documents.
