Fantastic video guys! Very well done, I love the old photos that I have never seen before, especially with Volpe. And the news video if them all going into the court house, I wonder what happened there that none of them were convicted for those charges? hmmm

The opening video going across the downtown Pittsburgh view, I kept thinking a few years earlier just to the left were the Rosa Villa lounge and LaRocca's Allegheny Car Wash. So I was glad to see the Rosa Villa make an appearance, I have been inside there myself.

Great info on LaRocca's early years and his mistress he gave the wedding gift to, I love that story but its all true.

I will disagree with just one part and you can prove me wrong if you would like. Sam Mannarino was not at Appalachian. Yes LaRocca and Amato were both there and they each took a small plane back top Pittsburgh 2 days later. They were identified from photographs by airport employees, they gave fake names of course. (*In released FBI Files)
It was LaRocca, Amato, Kelly Mannarino, and Michael Genovese there representing Pittsburgh. You did not mention Genovese.
I am pretty sure that when Sam had his conversations with the FBI that are documented, he even said he was not at Appalachian, but I would have to go back and re-read that to be sure.

I am not sure "Zebo" Zottola was mentioned, and he was very important back in the day and very trusted by LaRocca, but you can't mention them all I suppose.

Great work everyone! Keep up the good work!
