Giuseppe "the Clutch Hand" Morello (May 2, 1867 – August 15, 1930), also known as "The Old Fox", was the first boss of the Morello crime family and later top adviser to Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria. He was known as Piddu (Sicilian diminutive form of Giuseppe).Giuseppe Morello was born in Corleone, Sicily.He was famous for having a one-fingered deformed right hand that resembled a claw. wikipedia

In 1899,Ignazio Saietta arrived in New York fleeing a murder charge in Corleone. He was Giuseppe Morello's brother-in-law. Ignazio had acquired the nickname "Lupo" meaning wolf; suggesting an animal that preys on the weak. American Mafia book by Thomas Reppetto.

Lupo was his last name, but sometimes he used his mother's surname Saietta (or was it Saitta, I read somewhere Saietta is a misspelling, but I am not sure). His parents were Rocco Lupo and Onofria Saietta, he used both surnames depending on the situation.

Samuel DeCavalcante was called "the Plumber" because he owned and operated from a heating and plumbing company in Kenilworth, New Jersey, though he hated that nickname. He preferred "The Count" , as he told people he was of blue blood.

Changing his name would make sense since he was wanted on a murder charge. Thanks for the info.

He gained a reputation as a ferocious street fighter, which led several of his fellow gang members to call him "Tumac," after the caveman hero of the 1940 adventure film One Million B.C.Accetturo was recruited by Anthony "Ham" Delasco, the boss of the Jersey Crew. By the early 1960s, he had become Delasco's driver. Accetturo became Delasco's protégé learning trades in illegal gambling and loansharking controlling the Newark area. Delasco died in the late 1960s and Accetturo became a major earner under his successor, Joseph Abate, as well as a major player in his own right in the New Jersey underworld.

Roberto Calvi (13 April 1920 – 17 June 1982) was an Italian banker dubbed "God's Banker" (Italian: Banchiere di Dio) by the press because of his close association with the Holy See. A native of Milan, Calvi was Chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, which collapsed in one of modern Italy's biggest political scandals. His death in London in June 1982 is a source of enduring controversy and was ruled a murder after two coroner's inquests and an independent investigation. In Rome, in June 2007, five people were acquitted of the murder.

Claims have been made that factors in Calvi's death were the Vatican Bank, Banco Ambrosiano's main shareholder; the Mafia, which may have used Banco Ambrosiano for money laundering; and the clandestine Masonic lodge Propaganda Due. Wikipedia

Sam “Golf Bag” Hunt

Sam was one of Al Capone’s most trusted hit men and carried all his weapons in a golf bag he lugged everywhere he went. He wasn’t much of a golfer, but he was pure magic when it came to a hole in one. BY LORENZO CARCATERRA

Thanks Ciment, I enjoyed reading every last bit of your posts.

Thank you Alfa Romeo, this will encourage me to post more. I almost was on the verge of stopping but what kept me going a little was the number of viewer was increasing.

Abe “Kid Twist” Reles

Another Murder, Inc. member who got his nickname courtesy of his favorite candy. He was going to turn informant and was hidden away at the Half-Moon Hotel in Coney Island. Six detectives were guarding his room, but still, somehow, someone got in and threw him out a window to his death. The tabloids were kind to Kid Twist: They called him “the canary that couldn’t fly.”

Phil “The Chicken Man” Testa

You must know every mobster out there, I bet you know how they think, sleep and shit. You know what, I do not give a shit what you think or know and have fun with this one.

Ciro “The Artichoke King” Terranova

Ciro was a turn of the century gangster who knew how to turn a profit: He would buy California artichokes for $6 a crate and then sell them in New York City at a 40% mark-up. Now this was a guy who knew how to make a business run! And there were no complaints from the paying customers.By LORENZO CARCATERRA

Vincenzo "Vinny Carwash" Frogiero
Despite the infinite frog-related options his surname provides, Frogiero was thought to have got his nickname after running car washes for the mob in his younger days. The FBI describes him as a "soldier" for New York's infamous Gambino crime family. By L.Carcaterra

Michele Greco ,the court sentence him to six life sentences. His nickname was "il Papa" (The Pope) because of his ability to mediate between different Mafia families. Greco was the head of the Mafia Commission after the expulsion of Gaetano Badalamenti.

Anthony "Tony Bagels" Cavezza

Often seen wearing hoodies instead of the mob's signature sharp suits, the The New York Post newspaper has criticised him for "crimes of fashion" The Mafia by Al Cimino

You probably don't want to mess with Luigi "Baby Shacks" Manocchio, an 83-year-old Italian gentleman with puppy-dog eyes who has pleaded not guilty to charges of extorting cash "protection" payments from New England's strip clubs for the past two decades.

Manocchio, who owes his nickname to his taste in women (he likes them young and skinny), is the reputed head of the Patriarca family, an underworld organisation which controls much of Rhode Island. 26 Jan, 2011 5:30am Independent

Clement, the Lorenzo Carcaterra you quote is that the same writer of the movie Sleepers?

Yes it is, I checked the source where I got my information and they do specify that he is the author of the book Sleepers.

During the 1920s, Guzik served as Capone’s chief accountant and treasurer, and as such he was a very confident man. He’d walk around without a gun and always carried at least $1,000 in his pocket. After all, who was going to mess with Scarface’s accountant?
As Capone’s treasurer, Guzik was the guy who took care of the bribes. If a judge needed to be bought off or a police commissioner needed a few extra bucks, Guzik would count out a couple of bills, earning him the nickname “Greasy Thumb.” However, being the man in charge of the money isn’t always a good thing. Guzik went to prison with Capone on charges of income tax evasion in 1930. By Nolan Moore
