UNDERBOSS
MATTHEW GUGLIELMETTI-providence faction leader

capo
edward lato

allied families:philadelphia family (through george borgesi),possible connection to gambino family?

-last known consigliere was anthony parillo who i believe is currently imprisoned.

forgot to add and not related but i could find no reference to the winter hill gang or irish crime in boston/massachusetts still existing.
i am sure there is something with irish/non italian crime going on but nothing on the level from the past.

Other confirmed soldiers:
Billy Angelesco (currently imprisoned)
Louis Dinunzio (Anthony's son)
John Scarpelli
Tore Marino
Michael Prochilo Jr.
Darin Bufalino (possibly inactive)

And yes, nothing close to the Irish organized crime of the past.

And those are all Boston guys. So besides the UB, a Capo, and AP ( who we don't even know if he's even made ), there's no other active made guys in Prov.

yes i picked up on the same while researching for the chart posted above.
you would think though that with those 2 guys guglielmetti and lato,both have long careers in the mafia,have served time,survived internal wars and unlike many others in the patriarca family have not cooperated.i guess it would be alot to ask to give up their titles that have been earned.there may not be as many guys but the patriarca can still be counted as a functioning crime family.
and there could always be a crew that we are unaware of just waiting to be indicted.
to other posters out there who else operates criminally in the providence rhode island area?or the state in general?

I'm sure that there are plenty of associates in RI, just not made. Plenty of gang activity down there too, Latin Kings and others.

@Vito my apologies, I forgot Joe Ruggiero too for Providence

Is Ruggiero a soldier or capo or anything.
I've seen his name come up but no real proof of even being made.

According to some he's a capo, but who knows.

Joseph Ruggiero is 100% made, he's a major player in construction (legit construction) and to prevent being shaken down by other guys he made friends with Junior so he could be protected and represented if he needed to be.

Plus, he could launder money and provide real jobs if needed

What about Bobby Carrozza. I read that he was still in the game. It appears that a lot of the older guys stayed away after doing their time. But I wonder if there are any younger guys out there who are even interested in being involved.

bobby 82 in 2 weeks..maybe the bingo game....just kidding..bobby will grind til the day he dies..but at 82? not much playing time left

He is straightened out, but only by virtue of his wife's family, and the fact that he was up Louies ass. The fact fact that he is made should tell you all you need to know about the state of affairs.

Well said

I know absolutely zero about Boston, LCN however, from a common sense perspective

MATTHEW GUGLIELMETTI-providence faction leader

I have heard this guy being touted as a Power House, with mob Pedigree, possibly take over the family.

How powerful could he be if he leads a faction of 1 himself?
And not a crew but a whole faction of associates?

Anything is possible but to think he is personally supervising a faction of associates doing whatever to earn a buck
Without the insulation of at-least a capo or a couple of soldiers to assist with the day to day

Would be pretty reckless...

Just my two cents....

the only other 2 members of any note in providence i could find were capo edward lato and soldier joseph ruggiero.
when compiling the above chart i was trying to show where the power is today not an overall number of soldiers/associates in each crew/faction.
might be worth a deeper dive to see what the actual numbers of some of the smaller families on east coast are.

any thoughts on GUGLIELMETTI'S connections to george borgesi from philadelphia.

supposedly Matt's and George did time together and became close, what that means on the streets, who knows.

I think what you guys always discount is Manacchio was the boss for at least a decade and a half and was based in RI and you think he made nobody in 15 years? WTF is wrong with you people. Even if he made 1 RI every year that's a few that are not in jail and that we have never even heard of.

Plus, Carmine and his brother have been in Boston nearly just as long and for a good part of that near or at the top and you think they've made nobody?

At a minimum since Salemme went away in 1995 or 1996 we are looking at 27/28 years and you think 5 or 6 guys have been made over the period of time? It could be 40-50 in those two and half decades

Guglielmetti has been out at least 5 or 6 years, you think he's playing golf?

IDK, what the count is but it's not 20 or 25 guys like you think it is. Heck, not even a single person knew DeLuca's brother had been made and that was kept quiet for 30 years for God sake, no stop the BS

Makes sense how would he even be able to be the boss that long if he had almost no one in his state?
That is one of the biggest perks of being the boss is the power to make guys...
It would very hard to imagine that he didn't add a few guys that were local and loyal to him.

anything i've posted has only ever reflected the number of members on the street not those imprisoned.
the above chart only attempts to show the leadership/power in the family not overall membership as it is impossible to know being a secret society and all.
i would agree that the providence faction has more members than the 3 mentioned in previous posts but without indictments or solid proof how could we know.
assuming that something happened or referring to old info and bad internet lists isn't proof that something happened.
there is the possibility that like other american mafia families long since gone eg-cleveland,milwaukee,pittsburgh and the like senior admin members failed to induct new members for a long period of time.
i do not think that manocchio even for the long run as boss that he had was inducting 1 guy a year just in providence for 15 years and the same in boston.
the patriarca family is by no means on its last legs but if it had all these members its areas of operation would be growing not shrinking in mass and RI.
latin kings,pagans mc have begun to have more territory in certain parts of those states than some crews.

Well, the fact that there hasn't been a mob hit in years should help in the overall count. The only people getting whacked are falling victim to Father Time. And he is a prolific hitman.

AZ i completely understand what you're saying. For me its just who was out there those years Louie was around to actually give a button to? Slim pickins

As for possible inductees in MA inside the last 15 maybe 20 years at this point there's been Dinunzio Jr. (Maybe a buddy or two of his?) Costa, Scarpelli, and Marino floating around and I can't think of anyone else...down in RI the only name being speculated about was Parrillo as far as I can remember...is there anyone else?

Albie Folcarelli was rumored to be close to being proposed. Problem was that it was Bobby Deluca who was interested in sponsoring him.

What's the story with the Prochilo's. You never hear much about father and son except for Jr. being arrested with Rossetti a few years ago.

I heard Albie was and turned it down

Do the Patriarca's still have a Connecticut presence now that Beaver Ascenzia passed away suddenly last year?
