Ive only seen him in one mob doc, which was a really good one, it had him a guy from Chicago and the ex underboss from the l a family the weasal. Any other info on him? He seemed really credible to me bc while he did seem a little infatuated with the honor part he didn't sugar coat anything or try to make himself bigger or tougher than he was.

If I'm not mistaken he owned or at least fronted Cantalupo Realty where Joe Colombo "held a job" on paper at least, and sometimes was rumored to have worked out of the office. He seemed like a small time guy who flipped early. Not much else I know

Cantalupo's dad was made in the Columbo family and close with Joe Columbo. Gerry denono was with Joseph Divarco.

The docu was from 1983 or so and he looked to be around 45-50 years old. I doubt he is alive. Neither Cantalupo or Denono were made as far as I know.

He could be alive,he was born in 1943,or 1944.Why wouldnt he be alive?Read a NY magazine article a whille back.There was all about him and his misstreses,etc..He was best frineds with Mike Bolino,born around 1941.His father owned Cantalupo realty,witch was lockated in Bensonhurst Brooklyn at the corner of 86th street and Bay 7th street.Joe Colombo and his guys also used to hang at the same place where the Puritan restaurant is today(maybe it was the same restauran back than also)on 86th street.

Remmember in the article that he started informing in 1972,and that his own father thought he was a moron and an idiot.Dont know how true his stories were.He said that he was very close to Don Carlo,Finzy Tieri and so on.Dont belive him very much.

Never heard his father was made. Just that his father owned Cantalupo Realty, which Joe Colombo used as a meeting spot and hangout. He's the one who told the story of MiMi having been whacked for drunkenly insulting Carlo Gambino.

Yeah went back and checked I don't think his father was made, just an associate of Colombo and Gambino. Good catch Sinatra, I thought I had read that but can't find anything on it.

Good read on Cantalupo. From the article it seems that him and his father talked after he flipped.

Ca. 1970, in the heyday of the Italian-American Civil Rights League, a NYTimes reporter interviewed Cantalupo, Joe Columbo's nominal boss in the real estate business. Asked what kind of salesman Columbo was, Cantalupo replied: "Mr. Columbo has the sincerest group of clients. No one ever tries to cheat him out of a commission." lol
