sally calinbrano

saw him mentioned by Moe in the shout box, and was always curious about him from the casso book...anyone know more about him? he was a Genovese skipper in Bk right? Anyone know where at, his crew, who succeeded him etc?

I think Sally Callinbrano is somewhat of a white whale for mob aficionados, mikey; a bit like Billy Batts.

Nobody seems to have concrete proof of his existence. It is possible that author, Philip Carlo, made him up.

Moe-- I think you missed this--

With Mr. Knuckles having pointed the way, I can assure you Salvatore Celambrino did exist and that he was a very serious Brooklyn gangster.

Carlo can't write or transcribe or spell well but in this case, he was just sloppy, not fallacious.

And how about that guy "Long John" a serious gambino capo?Carlo mentiones him too,and I never heard of him.

billy batts, lol...

carlo was piece of shit writer.

Yeah he was bad. How does a well known, published author misspell a name? Didn't he have an editor or something to check facts and names out?

He also wrote that piece of crap on Kuklinski. I swear if Kuklinski had told Carlo he fired the magic bullet in Dealey plaza Carlo would have printed it.

You can find a little about Sally in those mafia memb chart, early bios. Look it up

There was a guy sally the bug who most likely killed hoffa then him an his brother were whacked.

Sally Briguglio.

Phil Carlo was a flunkie. Money was his main concern not facts. Sally Celambrino was in Mike Miranda's crew. Sally Celambrino's social club was at 199 Bridge street.
