To add to what Don Cardi said about the Rosato Brothers and Pentangeli: In 1961, the Gallo Brothers started a war by seceding from Brooklyn's Profaci Family. Larry Gallo, the eldest brother, was garrotted in the back of the Elegant Lounge on Utica Avenue; the attempted murder was interrupted by a cop who happened inside. This went down exactly like the scene in GF II. The Daily News ran an unforgettable photo of Larry with a huge red circle around his neck where the garrott failed. He claimed he didn't know his assailant. The Gallos lost that war but weren't rubbed out because Joe Profaci got sick. Larry died of cancer. Joey went to the can for 10+ years in a jukebox extortion rap; may or may not have been involved in the '71 shooting of Joe Columbo, and was murdered in Umberto's Clam House. I don't know what happened to kid brother Albert.
