A virtual giant anywhere, but in Sicily?

Phew. At 6 foot 9 they must have thought the guy was a cartoon bad guy .

That high pitched voice comes from working out, perhaps too much. I don't know the science of it but have been told the wind pipe stretches creating that high pitch. Kinda hard to get used to.

I've never heard of Bonventre, but if he is killed over 20 people and at the same time looks so regular, maybe he was very dangerous.

I'm not sure how many he killed but he must've been a dangerous guy if he was LiLos bodyguard. He wasn't exactly ordinary either as pizzaboy said 6"9 for a sicilian is unusual i mean Barney Bellomo is only around 6 feet and one of his nicknames is the tallguy.

Frank Schweihs & Sam DeStefano and imo, its not even remotely close

i agree destefano was crazy

When I was a kid in Brooklyn the neighborhood tough guy was Frank Sanotra Jr. That guy was scary. He became famous later from the whole Mafia Cops thing, but man I don't think he's ever been done justice in any of the books on how mean and tough he was. That guy I never NEVER would have wanted to mess with, you could see the power in his presence. He also committed a few murders to boot.

Tony Mirra.

What makes you biased towards Pitera??

+1 Those were the two I was going to say.

Scarfo during the 80's for sure. If you sneezed wrong you were dead

Six foot nine? So that's the reason they had to cut him in half and hide him in two different barrels of glue. Guy was too big to fit just into one!

He even didnt allow his soldiers to wear perfumes in his presence,he was alergic or somethin

casso

From what I have read and heard.

If Tommy Desimone is anything like he is in Goodfella's I wouldn't want to cross him he seems like hed kill or hurt anyone who did the slightest thing to aggrevate him

5'10" is unusual for a Sicilian and for many Italians, but 6'9"? That's downright freaky!!

if you ever read scarpa's fbi file theres no dont in my mind joseph profaci was nuts he had the boro of brooklyn on lock and key scarpa said one guy robbed a crap game profaci had him thrown in a furnace alive, killed his guys for stealing gold from a church, kiled kids, wanted carmine lomdozzi and family dead for the fbi agent getting beat just on and on.and whats weird scarpa,persico sonny fransese and the gallo's were all killers made under profaci thou they revolted cause he promoted old guys and was greedy. but there so many killings scarpa indirectly put on this guy he was a sicko and lucky that gambino undermined profaci in the early 60tys or all those guys would have died. even colomob was a bad dude, they all kinda fell for gambino's power play and profici's family were all killers and were tiny compared to gamino's so scapra repoted that could be a curve he said gabino's had 1000 guys profaci 200 well why are all they crazy killers in his family?, that said profaci was never killed or attemped, they kidnapped his family or cousins but they all were let go and he was boss till he died.he was a maniac.

He didn't know which head to think with

This is a tough one because so many were literally out of their minds. How do you pick between Casso, Pitera, Spilotro, DeMeo, Scarpa, Mirra...

Once you passed a threshold, I think there's no "top" psycho...they're just psychos..

You are right Jimmy,any mobster who has killed and buried over 5 bodies in his "back yard" is a legitimate psycho killer

LOL tony spilotro was not a psycho he was a solid soldier who through a series of unlucky events & the laughable film casino became this legendary kingpin killing machine haha. the guy was just a grand ave crew street soldier that busted his ass & ended up being recommended to Cicero by his boss Joe Lombardo as a solid choice to man certain things out in Vegas, surrounded himself with some not so good folks, did some dumb things, got himself and his punk wannabe brother smoked for it. The mob used him big time, they liked him because he was a good earner and he got Vegas primarily due to his relationship with the jew rosenthal. The only reason his name is widely known is because fecarotta botched the burial and it caused a shitstorm. the spilotro bros are viewed as complete goofs in Chicago, its still laughed about that there was a film made about them, but so little was known about the outfit to the general public before Family Secrets/American News Post so the spilotro situation was the only thing he could make a film out of.

So you're sayin that Tony never killed a guy,was a goof,a good earner at the same time and on top of things the movie was laughable ?!?!?

now when did I say he never killed a guy? not everybody who kills a guy is a psycho, that term gets thrown around way too loosely due to its broad definition. Tony is known because the media took notiice because of his involvement with a "legitimate" well known entrepreneur out there (rosenthal). Tony was also a dumbass who didn't get that you need to be low key. look if you've got a hard on for the guy whatever many people do for some really bizarre reason. he was a good soldier that bit off a little bit more than he could chew, put too much trust in his superiors and ended up paying dearly for it. he's not some legendary boss, he was never even an underboss within his own crew lol, guys like Eboli & cozzo, and schweihs were always superior to him within Grand Ave. and he certainly wasn't some mass murdering terrifying psychopath like schweihs.

Sam Destefano, no contest







For some reason he makes me think of that guy from Eraserhead. I used to be scared shitless of that movie

Are you one of thouse ppl?....btw if you put a gun on a persons head and pull the triger 10 times than belive me dude youre A legitimate psycho,and please let me know if theres a person that killed some1 and aint a psycho,you dont need big cojones to kill some1,just stupidity and confusion

who are "those people"? Look all I'm saying the guy isn't even a candidate for most psychotic guy out the GAC, let alone scariest mafioso ever. he wasn't a boss either. I just find it amusing that folks outside of Chicago remember him that way that's all

Im with TooDoped on this.

Thanx Jimmy...Hey ricobenes im not arguing or anything just discussing it cuz im mostly interested bout the Outfit than the other O.C. groups,but i think youre the first one thats sayin that Spilotro was a goof,street rumours maybe i dunno,so i wanted to ask ya if your opinion is that everything in the movie bout Tony is a lie?

The Delcavacante that stuck a fork in that guys eye forget his name
