Are they really still the wealthiest and most powerful family? There was a pic of Barney on another site where he's walking down the street holding a pizza with his son. He doesn't really look like the king of an empire but then again he might just be that good at hiding it. I wonder if the dude really doesn't have that much money and that there's just some urban myth that the Genovese are the last of the big NY mob families. Again, I'm speculating. He could be worth millions. I enjoy the discussion about this intriguing family in particular. Keep in mind also that Bellomo's predecessor wandered Greenwich Village in his pyjamas

Is Bellomo Sicilian? Costello was Calabrese, Genovese and Gigante were Napoli, I believe. What about Tieri?
Curious when outside of Luciano, a Sicilian has been the Boss of that Family?
In Sicily, women are more dangerous than the shotgun.

I wonder how far back they go Allie and Rosario probably late 40s/50s

Nice, thanks. You could be right in that Costello was only consigliere. With Luciano, deported I thought Costello ran it, until the attempt on his life.
Did Luciano not give Genovese a beating once in front of the group in either Havana or Palermo. Basically, to ensure Costello was in charge?

yaeh that correct. vincent cafaro had him and 2 old genovese guys at some pizza place in little italy buying a kilo or 2 of herion there some old new york times articles on it. he was dead to rites but since fish wouldnt testify they couldnt use the tapes. might have even been recorded at rays pizza the 2 guys were old old genovese guys. also think the lawyers said entrapment cause fish brokerd the herion deal and he was working for the government at the time i forgot but yes chin didnt give a fuck he made him the street boss like 3 4 yrs . chin sold herion to so he was also a hypocrite fish had lucchese guys on wiretap buying those bricks with cop money, ralph tutino he made his fortune selling H, and another guy from the “purple gangâ€, or what was left of it of that old crew. barney was merely a guy who was handling sal larca sr’s old H pipeline but then again this could be very much barney’s double cousin, who knows

That’s a great observation, I’m sure Gambino would of at least had representation during the conference. It appears that Luciano wanted back into the USA, as well as expansion and setting up business throughout the Islands.
There was another in Palermo 1957, which I believe Joe Bonanno organized.
If my memory works correctly, I believe it was the first time that the American and Southern Italian Mafiosi convened and began doing business. Maybe Gambino was at that one??

They could of been the wealthiest then, in and around that time. I believe they controlled Tammany Hall aka Democratic Party, I think Costello was huge in that.
It lead to the 5 Families/Commission getting access to NYC High Society type. Probably lead to Sinatra/Rat Pack and JFK, Giacanna was in a relationship with a famous actress.
