I think Furio asked for such a list a month or so ago.
So here´s a list I have compiled with help of FBI documents and various sources on the internet.
Made members (to my knowledge) are listed with a (M).

First Colombo war

Feb 27, 1961 - Joseph Magliocco (M), Frank Profaci (M), John Scimone (M) and Sally Musacchio (M) kidnapped by the Gallos.
They were all released two days later when Joseph Profaci agreed to start negotiations with the Gallos.

Early May 1961 - Joe Gallo (M) fired upon but he escapes unharmed.

Aug 20, 1961 - Larry Gallo (M) survives a murder attempt at the Sahara Lounge. The attempted strangulation leaves a nasty scar around his neck.

Aug 1961 - Joe "Jelly" Giorelli (M) disappears. His clothing, stuffed with dead fish, is thrown from an auto in front of a restaurant the Gallos frequent as a message.

Sep (?), 1961 - Carmine Persico (M) found a bomb under his car. The bomb never detonated.

Sep, 1961 - An attempt was made to kidnap the loanshark Ruby Stein who was associated with Nicholas "Jiggs" Forlano (M). The attempt failed when Stein screamed his lungs out for help.

Sep 21, 1961 - Aniello Dellacroce (a capo in the Gambino Family at the time) is dining in the Luna Restaurant in Manhattan and is severly beaten by the Gallo gang.

Oct 4, 1961 - Joey Magnasco (M) found shot to death outside Harry Fontana´s (M) social club in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.

Oct 18, 1961 - An attempt to murder Joe Profaci at a New Jersey hunting lodge. The manager of the premises is able to convince the Gallos that "The old man is not present".

Oct, 1961 - Shots fired at Forlano (M) outside his home. The suspected shooter was "Cadillac" Louie Mariani.

Nov 11, 1961 - John Guariglia (M) and Paul Ricci (M) killed in Ricci´s lounge. The FBI strongly suspected Sal Mangiameli (M) and Michael Rizzitelli as the killers.
Tommy Ricciardi was wounded in the attack. Rizzitelli fled to California.

Dec 2, 1961 - An attempt was made to kill Larry Gallo (M) with a shotgun. The assassin was driving a sports car and was disguised as a woman.

Jan 5, 1962 - At the Copacabana nightclub, Sidney Slater (a businessman extorted by the Gallos) attacked by Jiggs Forlano (M), Carmine Persico (M) and Donny "Shacks" Montemarano with a hook of some kind. Slater almost lost an eye.
Later Slater became a federal witness against the mob but his attackers were freed.

Jan 29, 1962 - Mike and Philip Albergo are shot and wounded while attempting to repair an ice-picked flat tire. The Albergo brothers are business associates of the Gallos.

March 5, 1962 - Several shots miss Salvatore Joseph Profaci (M), (the boss´s son).

March 11, 1962 - Two soldiers in the Gambino Family are beaten in a nightclub by the Gallos. Their names are not known.

March 1962 - Joseph Profaci dies a natural death. Magliocco takes over the Profaci Family.

Oct 1962 - Anthony DiCola and Marco Morelli, two Gallo adherents disappear.

May 10, 1963 - Johnny "Bath Beach" Oddo (Captain under Magliocco) was shot at while sitting in his car. But the only casualty in this shooting was the engine of the car.

May 19. 1963 - While sitting in a car, Carmine Persico (M) and Funzi D´Ambrosio (M) was shot at. I think Funzi was wounded in his leg, but Carmine in his shoulder. After impact, the bullet traveled through his body and into his mouth. This later became the myth of "Carmine spit the bullet out". Hed didn´t catch the bullet with his teeth!

June 6, 1963 - Emile Colantuono, believed to be a local businessman who helped finance the Gallo gang found shot to death.

June 12, 1963 - Shots missed Frank "Punchy" Illiano. One of the attackers, Vincent DiTucci was killed. Jerry Basciano (M??) was arrested for the DiTucci murder but later released.

June 18, 1963 - Alfred Mondella was killed. His status with the Profacis/Gallos is unknown. Some sources claim Mondella sold guns to the Gallos.

June 1963 - Joseph Cardiello (M) killed by Nicholas Getch. Later the same day the Profacis killed "Cadillac" Louie Mariani.

July 24, 1963 - In Hoboken, NJ Gallo gang member Ali Hassan Waffa, "Ali Baba", was shot to death. Suspected killers were Joe "Yack" Iacovelli (M) and Sonny Pinto.

Sep 1963 - Joe Magliocco who had succeeded Joe Profaci as boss, stepped down and Joe Colombo was appointed the acting boss by the Commission. In 1964, Colombo became the official boss.

Second Colombo war

April (?), 1971 - Rocky Miraglia (M) and Joey Cantalupo tricked into an ally where they were severly beaten by members of the Gallo gang.

June, 1971 - Murder attempt on Joe Colombo Sr during a rally in favor for the IACRL. Colombo slips into a coma which lingers on for years. He finally succumbs in 1978.

Between 1971 and 1976 several Colombo wiseguys were killed. I´m not sure if all of these cases were actually part of the war.

1971 - Dominick Famulari (M)
1971 - "Big" Dom DeAngelis (M?)
1972 - Emanuele "Nello" Cammarata (M)
April, 1972 - Joey Gallo (M) murdered in "Umberto´s Clam House", a restaurant in New York´s Little Italy.
April, 1972 - Gennaro "Fat Jerry" Ciprio (M)

Sep, 1974 - Frank "Punchy" Illiano shot and wounded.

In order to install peace, the Colombo bosses agreed to let Albert Gallo and Frank "Punchy" Illiano become part of the Genovese Family. Bobby Boriello was put under Gambino´s protection. Basciano and Cutrone broke out and found themselves under no one´s protection.

Definetivly part of the war:
1976 - Jerry Basciano (M?)

The colombos had guys like Ralph scopo,Cacase and wild bill cutolo waiting to take leader ship but instead the morons in the colombos went and fought for Carmine to still be the boss even though he will be in jail for life and his time had past.Its like benching labron james in 2012 and giving his position to michael jordan

Do any of youse got a full list of Each faction of the Colombo 1993 Wars ?

Actually I could've sworn reading somewhere that a majority of the family went with Orena.

thers only 58 guys. So were there other members that were sort of neutral and werent apart of the conflict?

I´m sure there was.
Back then they had a lot of guys who were made in the 1950s or earlier. Most of the older guys didn´t get involved.
Álso let´s not forget that the list is not complete. But it´s pretty close.

Most of the guys listed above are the ones that got killed or took an active part in hit teams assembled by the bosses. The rest of them (on the list) had noticeably aligned themselves with one of the two factions.
This comes through in indictment files, wire taps and numerous turncoats.

Gioeli was originally with the Orena faction before switching

Thanx. I´ll edit it.

I believe John S------- and John Rossati were originally with the Orena faction before switching over the Persico side.

huge earners

heres some fbi documents on them check it out

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/mafia-soldiers-support-bush-cheney

"While the penalty is a significant one for a case involving a private home, R------, who owns several car dealerships, will have no trouble covering it. The Colombo crime family figure, in fact, is apparently New York's wealthiest hoodlum--and by a wide margin. In underworld circles, R------ is known as an ''earner,'' a valued mob figure who generates millions from illegal activities or legitimate businesses--in this case, the automotive industry.

While a recent spate of newspaper stories has chronicled the supposed disarray--organizational and financial--of New York's crime families, R------ is feeling no such pain. Last year, records show, the mafioso sold two Florida auto dealerships for a staggering $33 million in cash. His remaining business interests--which include Nostrand Avenue's prosperous Plaza Auto Mall--and real estate investments could make R------ the underworld's only $50 million man."

I Think you are wrong about Sonny Franzese being with the Orena Faction because from what I read Sonny was always a top Enforcer for Carmine Persico.

actually carmine hated sonny and michael (sonny's kid) theorizes that carmine helped frame sonny for those bank robberies (i think that was the charge if i remember correctly) it was in his book

sonny was carmine's biggest rival but they got "along" for the sake of the family

"Franzese served as enforcer and watchguard over the crime family. His rise was cut short following a 1967 conviction for bank robbery, garnering him a fifty year sentence that was thought to have been trumped up by the Carmine Persico camp. Persico and Franzese would be bitter enemies during their prime and through the 1980s"

http://books.google.com/books?id=WzuzPiX...ico&f=false

thats a link to an old gangland of the fbi warning three colombo associates who had switched to the persico faction from the orena faction and who were also old associates of his son michael franzese that sonny had put out murder contracts on them from jail

You´re right, Ivy.
They are now added to the list.

Right. Here´s the quote from Jerry Capeci´s book "Gang Land". (Page 137):

"Franzese, has put out murder contracts on three old associates of his son from his cell in Petersburg, Virginia, the feds say.
The reason: associates Frank Cestaro, Louis Fenza and Frank Castignaro have switched from the Colombo faction aligned with Vic Orena to the one loyal to Carmine Persico."

I remember reading John Rossati was one main players in getting the war started. He went to a club asking Vic Orena to have Greg Scarpa killed after Scarpa assaulted one of his employees. Orena asked Roassati to provide him with vehicles to do hits, but he wouldn't go for it, and instead gave 50K for the war chest.

Wasn't Tommy Gioeli also shot, hence the nick name "Tommy Shots?" I also thought Scarpa and Cacace had two shootouts with each other, not one?

I think Joe Baudanza was part of the Orena faction, another name I didn't see was Dino Calabro, not sure what side he was on.

I will have to check that out. If correct, I´ll edit the post.



I only know of one shootout. If you can confirm a second one, please let me know. I´m striving to make that list as correct as possible.

I´m fairly sure Baudanza was part of the Persico faction.
He was put in a leadership role right after the war. I don´t believe Persico would have promoted him, not even as a reconciliation move, if he had been a Orena guy.

As of Calabro, he seems to have been with Gioeli at that time. He was alegedly invovled in a murder summer of 1991 with Gioeli. Gioeli switched sides sometime later. I´m not sure if Calabro also did, or if he stayed with the Orena side.

In 1991, Gioeli switched sides and became the top lieutenant and protegee of hitman Gregory Scarpa Sr.On June 12, 1991, Gioeli, Calabro, and soldier Joseph Competiello allegedly murdered Frank Marasa, an Orena loyalist, outside Marasa's home in Brooklyn. Gioeli allegedly murdered Marasa because he was involved in the murder of another Colombo associate.On March 25, 1992, Gioeli and Calabro allegedly murdered John Minerva and Micheal Imbergamo as they sat in a parked car on Long Island. Minerva was murdered because he was a Colombo soldier with the Orena faction. Imbergamo was a friend of Minerva's who was not involved in organized crime.

On March 27, 1992, Gioeli and several Persico loyalists were ambushed, and became involved in a high-speed car chase. Gioeli was wounded in the shoulder and stomach, earning him the nickname "Tommy Shots" and a reputation for toughness.
In 1992, Orena was arrested and indicted on racketeering and murder charges. In 1993, one of Orena's last remaining allies, Joseph Scopo, was killed and Orena was sentenced to life in prison. The Persico faction now claimed victory and Persico's son, Alphonse "Little Allie Boy" Persico took effective control of the family.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Gioeli

also vincent "chickie" demartino and Michael "Mikey Spat"Spataro were with the orena faction before switching to the persico faction after the war

http://www.nysun.com/new-york/echoes-of-mob-war-reverberate-15-years-later/36398/

John Baudanza was with the orena faction

"Back in the early 1990s, Baudanza was a rough-and-tumble, up-and-coming Colombo associate. He and DeMartino, were on the same team of family rebels aligned with acting boss Victor (Little Vic) Orena in a bloody two-year-long losing effort to depose family boss Carmine (Junior) Persico and his choice to take over the family, his mobster son Alphonse."

http://www.nysun.com/new-york/another-mob-surname-comes-to-the-fore/32161/

Louis Malpeso, Robert Gallagher, Joseph Amato, Christopher Liberatore, craig marino, vincent fusaro, tommy cappa, chris barrett, salvatore miciotta, all orena loyalists

anthony ferrara, Thomas McLaughlin was with the persico faction

http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/115/155/568329/

Thanks "Dapper_Don".U always provide good articles!!!

Yes. But that´s John Baudanza, who I believe later became part of the Lucchese Family. Joseph Baudanza however, seems to have been with Persico.

The Frank Marasa murder went down June 12, 1991. This was a eight days before the Orena stalking which really was the starting point of the hostilities. I´m not sure that the Marasa murder had anyting to do with the war.
But I will add it to the list, just to make sure.

I will also add Spataro, Calabro and DeMartino.

cant find anything corroborating Joseph in either faction, personally i find it hard to believe joseph was with persico considering his family blood was with orena but stranger things have happened in the mob before

I`ll put him on a "faction unknown list".
