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


Chucky was 1/2 Italian on his Mother's side. He in fact was made by Michael. I believe in 1986.
He brought the big time drug business into play for the Pittsburgh LCN.
He was by far their biggest earner at the time. Then he "Ratted" everyone out :-(


Chucky's mother was a Gialanella. His uncles were old Black Handers and in the 1940's and 1950's, his uncles ran a large numbers bank. His uncles were close to Frank Amato Sr and Sonny Amato. Frank Amato Sr vouged for Chucky and then died shortly after. When the old man stood up for Porter, John LaRocca groomed him and brought him along to many meetings with the Bufalino's, The Maggadino's and with Angelo Lonardo and John Scalish. Porter sometimes traveled with LaRocca to Pompano Beach, FL where Big John had a winter home.
