When researching Marano I found out that he had family in north Jersey. Allegedly, his nephew was part of a gang called the Zopo Prisco Gang.

(I like talking about the old timers, something different for a change)



Yes, there was also Andrea Ricci who Daniello testified "was one of the bosses in the Navy Street Gang".

There might have been smaller Camorra gangs in East Harlem and further down south, in the Little Italy section. But the gangs in Brooklyn were the dominant Camorra gangs.

Moreno was born in 1877 (I think I read somewhere) so by 1940, when he was transferred to the Dannemora Prison State Hospital, he was pretty old. I would guess that he died in prison but please don´t quote me on that. I think Faithful1 (poster on here) may have more accurate info on him.
