Anyone know anything about these guys? Guglielmini was Castellanas father in law. Both Gambino members from the 60's. Castellana still seems to be alive.

In 1986, Frank Perdue the chicken man, testified in front of the President´s Commission on organized crime and said that Pete Castellana Sr had been seeking to buy chicken from Perdue for a number of years and that Castellana had a "reputation" and "is about as bad as there is". However, Perdue acknowledged that he began doing business voluntarily with Castellana eventually. "He had a reputation in the industry not to be as honest as, shall we say, Paul Castellano Sr. He had a reputation of going bankrupt two or three times. And the only way we would sell him, we had to have the money up front" Pedue said.

Castellana had a history of cheating hundreds of creditors. In the mid 1960s, he was indicted and sentenced to five years in prison and fined $45,000 for fraud scams related to his meat and poultry wholesale business. Joseph Pagano (member of the Genovese Family) and Castellana´s nephew Gandolfo Sciandra were also indicted and sentenced in this case. Although never indicted for it, Castellana also had a reputation of being a loan shark partner of Carmine Lombardozzi.

Pete Castellana is a cousin of the late Paul Castellano but I don´t know the reason for his last name being spelled differently. I think he´s still alive, he should be around 86 today.

Joseph Guglielmini was the son of Salvatore who had emigrated from Cefalu, Sicily in the early 1900s. The Guglielminis were related to both the Castellano and Gambino families. Salvatore was also related to Luigi Morici, the Baltimore crew leader by marriage. I think one of Salvatore´s daughters was married to Morici´s son Serafino.

In 1946, Salvatore, and two of his sons (Frank and John) and two of his daughters were indicted of possession of a large amount of counterfeit gasoline, sugar, tire and red ration stamps. Salvatore´s daughter Nancy said that she was a part owner of two butcher shops and had collected the red points from customers. I don´t know the outcome of the trial.

In the 1960s, Salvatore and Frank, nicknamed "Butch" were listed as made Gambino members, while John and Joseph were listed as suspected members. Frank was later a member of Nino Gaggi´s crew.

Hard to say. We don´t know how far back the Castellano/Gaggi crew goes. Paul Castellano (Gaggi´s predecessor) may have been given a crew, with Gaggi included, when Gambino was made boss.

Peter Castellana was Paul's Castellanos cousin. Guglielmini was Peter Castellanas father in law.

Peter married his daughter Marion.
