cheech,simone is his brother. there is also stefano who i dont think is a wiseguy.

dont know who the fourth guy is but there outside the bank on 65th and 18th.close to santos place.

thanks Sit, appreciate all the info you have been bringing to the community

we need more insight and less "what do mobsters wear?"

My mum's family are from Scicli in the south east of Sicily, down near Ragusa. Half of them have actually Ragusa as their surname and the other half were living in caves until the 1950s. I'm not even kidding! My half-brother now lives in Palermo, down in the Borga Veccio. I'm from London though, and despite having this Sicilian heritage i can't even speak Italian! The shame!!

Lol caves that reminds me of gyp rossetti lol he said in one episode that my family lived in a cave on the side of a mountain..

Well don't wait, buddy. My father's parents were born in Lauropoli. It's beautiful (and more than a bit prehistoric). I've been there many times. My family still owns the house that my grandmother was born in over 100 years ago. I've been there many times, once for almost a year and a half straight. But that was way back before I was married.

Santo Zito has a pizza joint in Park Slope called Smiling Pizza or something like that.

Santo and Simone are brothers? I didn't know that. I only knew that Giuseppe, Antonio, Stefano and Simone were brothers. They are related by blood to the Mannino's and part of that big sicilian clan the Inzerillo's-Gambino's-Spatola's-DiMaggio's. All those guys are related either by marriage or blood. I believe the Zito brothers mother is a Mannino.

I think they are also related to Benito "Benny" Zito who went down in the pizza connection case. All these guys move dope, thats their main occupation or at least it was back then.

Simone went down hard with several of the Mannino's back in the Iron Tower case in the late 1980's. Benny Zito ran a Mimmo's pizza shop for Domenico Mannino.

I don't know much about Tall Pete except that he's Frank Cali's brother in law. The Inzerillo you have to watch your back with is Tommaso Inzerillo. I think he's still alive but not positive. He was the one that set up 2 of his relatives to be murdered so that Toto Riina would let him live. Tommaso Inzerillo's sister Maria is married to Joe Gambino (John Gambino's younger brother) and he is very close to the Gambino brothers. Last i heard Tommaso Inzerillo was down in the Dominican Republic but that was several years ago, i'm not sure if he's still there or back in Palermo.

sounds about right to me. benny zito was his cousin i believe.he was a 'cherry hill' guy.

Wow all those grinders are related that's crazy...unbelievavle info thanks

Tommaso inzerillo set who up exactly????? An where does tall Pete operate out of an do him an cali always do buissness

His cousin Pietro Inzerillo who was killed in south jersey in the early 1980's and his uncle Antonino Inzerillo who was killed in NYC around the same time.

Paul Castellano ok'd the hits to appease Toto Riina, and to keep the others in the Gambino's sicilian faction alive. A trade off of sorts - to keep the heroin business in tact. The Inzerillo's were killed and.or forced to leave Sicily because the Corleonese faction won the war in the 80's.

meffa,pete is a brooklyn guy.

Castellano sent John Gambino to meet with Riina or one of his top guys. They told Gambino the slaughter would stop but he wanted those 2 Inzerillo's dead before the truce. Gambino was in on both the murders but in a taped phone call among some mafioso in sicily they discussed the murders and said Tommaso Inzerillo was the one who lured both of them to the sites where they were killed. On the tape it made it sound like Tommaso Inzerillo also pulled the trigger on the hit on his cousin Pietro Inzerillo.

For setting up his 2 relatives Riina let Tommaso Inzerillo live. He was supposed to be killed too. Riina wanted all the Inzerillo's wiped off the planet.

For the hit on Antonino Inzerillo his nephew Tommaso and John Gambino lured him to a deli in Brooklyn owned by Felippo Casamento. Thats where they killed him. Like i said Tommaso Inzerillo and the 3 Gambino brothers are very close.

Giancarlo, anyway you cut it...that is some dirty business. Even if you don't like your cousins (lol) Inzwerillo/Gambino family reunions would be really uncomfortable. If we know what wnet down, you know thier aunts and uncles know which cousin killed which cousin. Then again, maybe they look at it like, "business is business."

Uhm, ya think?

Just kidding, SilentPartnerz. But that's EXACTLY how you're looking at it if you're cold blooded enough to kill a blood family member. Well, you have to have that and, where the Sicilians are concerned, a serious sense of honor.

And by that, I mean what honor means to them. Because whether you agree with their interpretation of honor or not, those guys play by the rules over there.

After Toto Inzerillo killed a judge in Sicily, he was killed by one of Riina's men for acting without permission from the Commission and doing it on rival territory no less. At Inzerillo's funeral, his 15 year old son swore revenge on Riina. Soon after, the boy was kidnapped, his arm was first chopped off as a symbol, then they put a bullet in his head and killed him. That's when another Inzerillo was gunned down in the US, so Riina could make his point of how far his reach and power was.

That's the story I had in mind when I posted about their sense of honor in the post above yours, Carm.

Tommaso Inzerillo was actually charged in italy for the 2 murders of his relatives even though they happened in the usa. Either he was found not guilty or the charges were dropped.

Rosario Naimo was in on the murders too and he is supplying the italian authorities with info on a few different murders carried out years ago both here in the states and back in sicily.

Yeah I read all that shit it just gets confusing so many of them lol

Yeah, and they all have the same first and last names. LOL

Love the picture Nicky, I guess track suits are no more..??

I was the worst. The ab-so-lute worst. I had Sergio Tacchinis in every color. Viking soft slip on shoes, in every color. Even blue. I mean, who the fuck wears blue shoes?

White Giorgio Brutini shoes, with the brown "wooden" heels. Had to wear those with "dress" jeans, that you had dry cleaned. What normal person dry cleans jeans?! Or how about Capezios? Fuckin dance shoes!!!!

And forget about all the jewelry I bought in the back of social clubs. I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe right now .

I bet you got grocery sacks filled with 1980's Fila tracksuits and pure white Roo's sneaker high tops sitting in your basement, pizzaboy!

PB's Dear Wife: "Pizza, I thought you were gonna donate those to the Goodwill 20 years ago?!? Cose' fa?!?"

PB: "Oh, Ay - Ay, Oh! Why you bustin' my chops ova here?!? I told ya... I'll get to it when I'm good and ready!!! Bydaway - Ya neva know when dees might come back in style!!!"

Well that's true!!

All kidding aside, I can't wear that stuff around my kids. If I do they tell people that I'm their mentally challenged Uncle.
