What Family was Dino Cellini with? Or was he just an all-around Mafia associate?

I know that at one time Dino was a more or less employee of Pittsburgh.
He was in charge of bringing weapons into Havana to support Kelly Mannarino's interest in the Sans Souci Night Club.

He was with Como Quattrone. Quattrone was with Cleveland, but split profits with Pittsburgh, it is is one of those weird arrangements. Think of Steubenville as Pittsburgh owns it and charges rent for those that operate in the city. Cellini became one of Lansky guys.

Dino and his brothers, Edward, Goffredo & Bobby were associates of the Genovese through Vincent Alo.

Thanx guys for the additional info on Dino. I only knew him through his time with Kelly.

In 1974, the same year Giancana was deported from Mexico to the United States, a Mafia delegation arrived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to inspect the local gambling market for possible investment opportunities. Among the visitors were Vincent Alo and Dino Cellini.

A casino named Club 26 was build. It was the crown on gambling boss Maurits De Vries’ work. Club 26 was a casino, nightclub, and gym all in one and was to cost 18 million dollars. He asked the Cellini brothers and received a mob investment of ten million dollars through Vincent Alo, though the Genovese mobster was not as enthusiastic about the new casino as his Dutch partner-in-crime.

Gambling was still illegal in the Netherlands and even though De Vries had paid off police, his new casino was bound to attract more attention from not just gamblers, but the media and politicians as well. No doubt Alo had flashbacks to the time “Bugsy” Siegel was busy building his hotel and casino in Las Vegas, a dream that turned into a nightmare.

And indeed, Club 26 turned out to be everything the mob feared. It attracted a lot of attention from law enforcement and was raided a year after its opening. When a disgruntled employee set fire to the place in December of 1983, burning down Club 26 and killing thirteen people who were inside, De Vries’ empire lay in ruins. He died a broken man on July 13, 1986.

Alo must have been very rich considering his longevity and influence in LCN.
Unfortunately Dino already passed away in 1978 Jimmy blue eyes in 2001.
