I read Turnbull saying that Jospeh Bonanno never spoke english good enough to write a book. I remember a Bonanno member who lost his chence to be a Don because he didn`t know how to speak english, I don`t recall his name. I wanna aks about Carlo Gambino, Jospeh Profaci, Vito Genovese, Thomas Gagliano, Thomas Lucchese and other bosses from Italy, how did they speak english? If they spoke very well, well with a strong acent, so-so, etc...

It's hard to answer your question, DPN, because all of those guys avoided any kind of publicity--anytime they saw a newspaper, radio or TV reporter nearby, they either ran or covered their faces. The only reason I know about Joe Bonanno not speaking English very well is that he gave some interviews at the time of publication of his autobiography.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Costello spoke english just like you and me. So did Giancana, Tony Accardo, and Joe Valachi - all those they have on film.
