Any thoughts on who the most successful boss in Pittsburgh La Cosa Nostra history is? How about the most powerful Pittsburgh Mobster (doesn't have to be a boss)? Most influential associate(s)? This should be interesting!

Getting away with all the shit he was responsible for makes Michael Genovese the most successful IMO. I know other gangsters from the city were similarly successful, but he managed to stay the boss and a free man in the 1990s and 2000s, when the feds were all over the mob, so he gets extra points for that.

Boss- LaRocca (Stayed out of jail, held the most influence "nationwide" with strong ties to Russell Bufalino, Tony Salerno and Tony Accardo in Chicago).

Most powerful mobster in Pittsburgh- Gabriel "Kelly" Mannarino. He was partners with Bufalino, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello and Sam Giancana in the Sans Souci Hotel & Casino in Havana, Cuba and nobody came into New Kensington without his permission-You can also make the argument for Antonio Ripepi as a very powerful, connected guy.

Most influential Associate- Henry "Zebo" Zottola or Wango Capizzi for modern day. IMO, I think Tony Grosso or Bobby Ianelli are two of the most influential associates and well respected by the former bosses.
