Giacomo as always thanks for your insight pal.. so half italian in the
80s gets u straightened out in Shittsbugh eh? And he's advanced to Ub..damn Chucky must have been some kind of earner to garner that position...just anguess but by the early 80s was the Pitt family in decline and their recruiting piol drying up like we've sern in other areas? Just speculation of course.. i know little to nothing about the pitt fam and they did have Mike Genovese firmly in power then until what 10 yrs ago


Sorry but I always read that the reasons because the Pittsburgh family died was because genovese in the 80s made only 5 men and "not because there no men that deserve to be made" but only because the boss dont want to give more money to their men so when the feds in the 80s and 90s strike the family there are no men to fill the void. In Pennsylvania there 12.2 % of italians now,so think in the 80s.
