Giuseppe 'Joe' Vallone was a member of the Sicilian Mafia who was possibly transferred / made into the Milwaukee Family during the 1970s.
Not to be confused with the other Joseph Vallone (1885-1952) who served as Milwaukee Boss from approximately 1930 to Fall 1948.
Salvatore 'Sam' Ferrara (1896-1974), another former Boss who headed the Family for a couple of years after the elder Vallone, was Giuseppe's uncle.

On September 23, 1971 an FBI member source reported: "During the past week, informant was introduced by Sam Ferrara to his nephew Joe Valone (ph). Valone is visiting Milwaukee from Sicily, where he is a member of the LCN. According to Ferrara, his nephew will be made a member of the Milwaukee LCN Family when Frank Balistrieri gets out of Federal prison."
Vallone may have been a member in Prizzi, a comune located in the interior of Palermo Province.
Around mid-November 1971 the source added that Vallone was approximately 42 to 43 years old and residing on Booth St.
It's not clear if this individual was ever brought into the Milwaukee Family or if he even remained in the country for long. He is absent from all available membership charts compiled from the 1970s to 1993.
