Excellent photos of Lucky.


The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

That last pic of Rao looks scary. He looks like he'd rip someone's face off.

I see shades of Tony Soprano in Vincent Rao. Although maybe a TS with an Asian mother...

Here are some interesting photos from some lesser known families:

Frank Valenti being hauled away by Pittsburgh police into Allegheny County Jail after they handcuffed him to a table and beat the shit out of him in the interrogation room. They then woke him up with the smell of ammonia in an attempt to get him to confess to the murders of two small time numbers guys in the East Liberty neighborhood. The cops were almost as corrupt as the mob in those days, but Frank kept it gangster and beat the case...

Check this out guys. Go to google maps, hover over philly and type in "Stogie Joe's" in the search bar. Then drag the little yellow guy down to street level. Sitting out front you will see the image of what appears to be, and I would bet money on it, Chickie Ciancaglini holding court. If you look at the little map in the bottom left hand corner, you will see that you can place the yellow guy inside of stogie joe's and can walk out on to the sidewalk. Look, theres Chickie giving some girl a hug! lol. Just a little fun fact I thought I would throw out there.

Legendary soccer star Diego Maradona from Argentina played for S.S.C. Napoli soccer team from 1984-1991. He seemed to party hard, doing lots of cocaine and mixing with Camorristi in the city. Here's photos with Diego and the Giuliano clan from the district of Forcella, Naples.

Photos of Galveston gangster Sam Maceo's house. He died in 1951 and it looks like the house was built in 1952, so possible that Maceo was building the house when he died but his family still lived there after. Even more photos of the house here.

Vincent Palermo aka Vinny Ocean house in Houston where the local media outed him living under an assumed name after turning state's evidence: Lots of photos here. House looks like total new money trash to me, someone with awful tacky taste who has so much money they don't know what to do with it. But hey, who said you needed class to be an earner for the mob? Note the movie posters in the theater room. Zillow says the house was sold in August 2016 so who knows where ole Vinny is these days.

Nobody's running a front for anything in Boise, Idaho... maybe some cattle rustling. Anyway, here's some info on this Biagio fella:

Quote
December 30, 1992 – Biagio Adornetto was a made member of the John Stanfa crime family in Philadelphia. George Anastasia described him as a "pizza maker and wannabe wiseguy whose unwanted romantic pursuit of mob boss John Stanfa’s daughter nearly got him killed." Stanfa sent hitman Rosario Bellocchi, who was engaged to Sara Stanfa, to kill Adornetto. Bellocchi, armed with a shotgun, went to the restaurant where Adornetto worked. He aimed the gun in Adornetto’s face and pulled the trigger, but the gun didn’t fire and Adornetto fled the restaurant. Adornetto became the first member of the Stanfa crime family to cooperate with the FBI, Bellocchi soon followed.

source

Quote
At the same making ceremony that Merlino and Mikey Chang got their buttons, John Stanfa also inducted a number of the Sicilians he had recruited. The likes of Biagio Adornetto, Rosario Bellocchi and Sergio Battaglia were going to be Stanfa’s frontline soldiers. He believed their pure Sicilian blood made them superior to those he already had around them.

Almost immediately, the Godfather began sending his new recruits on hits. Initially it looked like Stanfa’s plan for eventual European dominance over his American crime syndicate was off to a good start.

....The dispute centered around friction that developed between Adornetto and Bellocchi, involving the courting of Stanfa’s beautiful 24-year old daughter Sara. Both aspiring mobsters wanted to date her. When Sara chose Bellocchi over Adornetto, it set things off on a dangerous course. Adornetto resented the rejection and began displaying insolence to both Bellocchi, his rival in the game of love, and Stanfa, his boss. The disrespectful behavior got him marked for murder.

Everything came to a crescendo on December 30, 1992, when a masked and shotgun-toting Bellocchi staged a daring attack of Adornetto, while Adornetto worked his job as a pizza maker at the trendy and posh South Philly eatery, La Veranda. On a busy night from before the New Year, Bellocchi charged into the restaurant, approached his target in the open kitchen in the back overlooking the entire place, and pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened. Someone had put the wrong sized bullets in Bellocchi’s shotgun and it malfunctioned. Undeterred, his went out to his car, got his pistol and returned into the now hysteria-filled bistro and chased Adornetto around the dining room to the shock of a packed house of patrons, one of which was a state senator.


source. Stanfa really was a horrible boss, eh? Amazing Philly was able to rebound so much under Ligambi.

Is it me, or does this house look a lot like the house on BlackOps 3 I think it was? It was on one of the BlackOps games, and it reminds me a lot of this house.

Adornetto looks like one of those greasy foreigners who hang around nightclubs here hitting on women half their age, the kind of guy you wouldn't want to leave a woman alone with.

Any wonder Sara chose Bellocchi.

And WTF was Stanfa thinking blooding all these guys?

Battaglia, for one, was clearly living in a fantasy world.

I'm sure once he flipped the feds let him keep a lot of his money. Pay some small fines, but keep most of his millions in exchange for testimony. Wikipedia says he filed for bankruptcy in 2013 though, so maybe he blew it all and that's why the house was sold?

Joe Massino and his wife made out like bandits as well.

I guess the FBI have to let them keep a very hefty part of their illicit gains, as these people are hardly going to start breaking the habit of a lifetime and make an honest living once they're let off the hook.

How do you put the wrong shells in a shotgun? Furthermore how did he have enough time to run out and grab a pistol and come back in? Stanfa had some sharp guys working for him.

You hit the nail on the head. Also, rumor has it that he doesn't discriminate between men and women, hanging out at the local gay club, The Balcony.

"Nobody's running a front for anything in Boise, Idaho... maybe some cattle rustling."

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Adornetto has been involved in prostitution rings (yes, in good ole Boise, ID), and I may or may not have knowledge that he's been trafficking drugs, but he's clever about his business dealings, just flying under the radar of law enforcement. For what it's worth, I know way more than I care to about this shady guy.
