Mostly Lucchese, a few Genovese, a few Colombo........must have been 50-60 guys or better come out of that small town.

It was mob central in the 50s, 60s, 70s,


One other guy who came out of Corona but later mostly stayed up in East and West Harlem was Frank (Farby) Serpico,.... "the original" not the nephew by the same name.
Farby and his brother Ralph (Ralph Farbs), were with the Genovese crew - I believe Trigger Mike Coppola. Ralph stayed in Corona. Frank traveled back and forth and operated in both Queens and Manhattan accordingly. numbers, crap games, etc.

I actually did a bio on Farby if you care to read it. Its under Genovese Biographies on our website The New York Mafia. You may enjoy it.
