Where'd you read this at?


Speaking of the DeCalvacante's one of my three books that I ordered on the Jersey Mob, is shipping to my house right now, should be here later on today. It's Made Men, by Greg B Smith. Looking forward to learning so much more about the DeCalvacante's.


Sinatra I found this article on The Soprano Wiki:

http://sopranos.wikia.com/wiki/Corrado_John_Soprano,_Jr.

"Real Life Basis

The Junior Soprano character may have been loosely based on the real life presumed boss of the Gambino crime family, Peter Gotti, and DeCavalcante Crime Family "made men" Joseph Sodano and Joseph Giacobbe with similarities in look, thick & large glasses, age, inheritance of the leadership from his nephew, John A. Gotti, and his relationship with longtime girlfriend Marjorie Alexander."
