Its interesting...in the relatively recent podcast Fosco had with Herion, he tells a story of chasing down Lombardo after raiding a card game a Vince Cozzo's place near Grand and Ogden...amazing that the compound is still there and still in the hands of the family.

You couldn't find any photos of Tony Chiaramonti?


He wasn't listed by the CCC in 1990, which is where I got the list from. I don't believe he was "known" until he got busted with the Melrose Park crew in '92.

I got the crews and the titles from the CCC. I had to add the "where are they now?" blurbs from what I could find on them since. Obviously some were easier than others.


These are really good and appreciated. Some I have seen, but many I have not.

Keep'em coming.

That's weird. He was the Carlisi crew's #1 enforcer throughout the 80s.

Can you imagine having someone like DeStefano as your neighbor? Lol that would be the worst.

I've walked along the red canal of mars
I've known kings and king makers
Poets painters and paupers
I've danced danced on the rings of Saturn

Great post snake

From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Tribune doesn't mention Chiaramonti until 1992.

Some other notable names missing from the list:

Dominic Palermo
Nick Guzzino
Anthony Centracchio
John Matassa
Anthony Zizzo
Nick Calabrese
Jim DiForti
Rudy Fratto

Add the above names to the CCC list and you probably have all of the active made guys for the Outfit accounted for, at least during that time period.

Enjoyed the pictures, all those listed as still being active are all pretty old, no wonder the outfit is struggling..

British is best....

That LaPietra one is a good find. I'm sure there are thousands no one has ever seen before in people's personal collections that we'd love to see.
