Previte and Previti are well common North Eastern Sicilian (Messina) lastnames.

Ron Previte is a 2nd-generation Italian-American on both sides of his family. His parents' folks moved to the Southern NJ\South Eastern PA areas.

The crazy thing about him getting made is that he was an ex-cop. Jeez, Stanfa was supposed to be an old-school Zip...

What about Martines? Was his lastname mispelled form the Italian "Martinis" (with an I) or was he of Spanish descent?
