The cleveland mob pictures isn't all cleveland mob guys, joe profaci, joe magliocco and vincent Mangano are pictured there. They got arrested when they went there for a meeting, but are not part of the cleveland mob obviously.

Awesome photo though, love that mug shot of profaci.

These are pictures I would love to see (though they may not even exist). Nicky Scarfo, anything since he's been in prison like 90s or 00s, Any of Anthony Senter or Joey Testa since there incarceration other than the one where their in a band. Also anyone got any of Danny Marino? There seems to be only like 2 pictures and there both from about 20+ years ago.

That picture of Cali and Nicchi is hilarious. Cali with a black girl makes me wonder what his friends said

Those clothes look straight from the 90's. That and we are talking about Italian/Italian-American criminals. Race is a more discussed thing here in the States, especially in the politically correct, pre-9/11 1990's

I thought Cali was the guy on the far left, the guy in the middle being insignificant to our discussion and Nicchi being the young guy on the far right, closest to the camera.

Off the top of my head I knew Cali was born sometime in the late 50's, maybe '61-'63 and Nicchi was definitely born sometime after 1980

The Murder Inc. photo is my favorite one, those guys look tough as nails wouldn't like to meet them in a dark alley. Lucciano looks like gentleman.

Looking at those Luciano pics you can tell he was a very charismatic guy.

The pic was taken at some restaurant in NY. It's Cali, Nicola Mandala, and Nicchi.
That black woman was a girlfriend of Cali's for many many years. His friends said nothing about it. Smarten up.

At the time of this picture (2003), Nicchi and Mandala were visiting NY from Italy. You may not know the middle guy (Nicola Mandala), but he was not insignificant.

Tommaso Buscetta (Palermo, July 13, 1928- New York, April 2, 2000) was one of the first members of the Sicilian Mafia that broke the code of silence and helped authorities prosecute hundreds of Mafia members both in Italy and the U.S. In return for his many testimonies he was allowed to live in the U.S. and was placed in the Witness Protection Program. He died of cancer in 2000.



In 1909, Giuseppe Calicchio, an immigrant from Naples, began work for the Morello gang in Highland, New York as a printer and engraver of counterfeit Canadian and US currency. In 1910, the printing plant was raided and Calicchio along with his boss Giuseppe Morello and 12 other gang members were arrested. Calicchio received 17 years hard labor and a $600 fine, but was released in 1915.



In 1908, Antonio Cecala was a counterfeiter working for Giuseppe Morello. His career was short lived after he was convicted in 1909 of conterfeiting and sentenced to 15 years and a $1,000 fine.



Phillip Leonetti (b. March 27, 1953) seemed to pattern his life after his uncle, Philadelphia crime family boss Nicodemo Scarfo. In the 1980s, Leonetti was moving through the family crime ranks as a mob hitman, capo and then underboss to Scarfo.
After receiving a 55-year prison sentence in 1988 on murder and racketeering charges, Leonetti decided to work with the federal government as an informant. His testimony resulted in the convictions of high-ranking mobsters including John Gotti. In return for his cooperation he was released from prison after serving only five years.
