what a photo...classic..thanks

It was not totally uncommon for Mafia members to travel back and forth between the US and Sicily. Paul Gambino´s first arrest was by the Yonkers police in 1929. So he was clearly in the US at that time. He was charged with suspicion on a fellony charge. (This case was dismissed due to lack of prosecution.) He was shot in 1930. I wouldn´t be surprised if that shooting may have been the reason why he took a trip to Sicily and returned to the US in 1935 when he felt secure. Carlo Gambino was said to have spent a lot of time in Massachusets in the early 1930s. Even though the bosses had come to an agreement following the Castellammarese war, it doesn´t mean that the foot soldiers felt totally secure in NY.

Hmm, I doubt that's true. Lets not forget Gotti connected and rubbed off on a lot of the real street guys. They felt he was a tough guy like them. A real wiseguy. If there wasn't Neil Dellacroce, there still would have been a Carmine Fatico, who was also attracted to Gotti as a protege and pretty much liked him a lot for almost the same reasons Neil did. And who know's maybe he would've been a Bonanno. According to Sewlyn Raab, Carmine Galante once said while in prison that it was a shame Neil Dellacroce had the rights to Gotti, because he would've loved to had had him in his crew.
