great articles, I didn't know Genovese was dead, and my dad is from there, we are related to Amato's by marriage there too, not sure which ones though. Any other facts on P-burg I would love and so would my dad, being second and third generation Italians. There is a big Italian population still left in Pittsburgh its hard to believe the mob is so crippled there, but it was always a small family.
It comes down to general attrition, which effects the smaller families more quickly. Plus, New York put a freeze on the Pittsburgh family making new members.
