Many thanks for chiming in, JCB, I have learned a lot from your previous posts about the Steel Valley. I have been reading Welcome to the Tiger Inn and Crimetown USA (both great books) so I certainly do know who these guys were. Aiello, Sandy Naples, and DeNiro were frequently cited as among the most important mobsters in the area, but even after reading May I am stll unclear on which mobs many of these figures stood with. So, May will make things clearer in his next book? I think I heard that will deal with the 70's-90's, is that correct? Kind of frustrating to have to wait for that when I am looking for info that will clarify the 50's relationships and causes of the violence then, but c'est la vie. Thanks for your info about Mallamo, Prato, and their Pittsburgh connections, that certainly helps.
I have lots of other Steel Valley questions, should I put them on this thread or start others?
