6000 Days of Us by Rosina Rucci, Salvie Testa's girlfriend. This a very short but well-written book. Interesting to hear about the Philly Mob from an outsider's perspective and ultimately very sad. For those not interested in a love story there is still some good info on the Philly Mob, such as how close the Testas and Narduccis were. It's shame what happened.
Hello mighty dr///,,I've posted about this book way back..I know ur kinda of a new guy..i've been trying 2 get some of my postees 2 find this book..yes,it is a great book 4 those who r interested in salvies private & younger life w/ a chick whom i believe he ultimetly left maria merlino for..even my wife read this one,being that is was a chick book as well as a mob character memoir. someone who knows salvie so lovingly well as also his secret life was a great read..hope others find thier way 2 this book as it really is inexpensive 4 paperback.
