Springfield and Worcester always had deep rooted Italian pops but like many other places it has disappeared over the year, both have traditionally been Genovese strong holds though.
The Connecticut River has been the dividing line between NY and NE for years.
Yes, we just found out last week that Tony Ascenzia is a major player with the NE family out of New Haven.
From what I have read there are 6-7 crews/capo's in the NE family. But most are in jail today, who's really left with any power on the outside is anyone's best guess.
Matthew L. Guglielmetti is a younger capo, but I guess not to smart, it seems he has spent the better part of the last 20 years on the inside, maybe out for a couple of 2 year stints. If I recall he was convicted of protecting a cocaine shipment that was spending the night in RI on its way to parts unknown. It was some father and son combo that got put away for the Union issues, there name escapes me.
