Yes, two deceased individuals who were considered to be in an anti-Rizzuto camp--there was more than one camp--had their funeral-home vistation at the Loreto: Lorenzo Lo Presti and Giuseppe De Vito.

Emiilio Cordileone, who some journalists figured was also in an anti-Rizzuto camp because the Cordileones were close to Jos Di Maulo, also had his funeral-home visitation at the Loreto.

Cordileone's name and De Vito's name can be seen in the photo in the Evernote item to which I've linked below.

Anti, I wonder if the list has been updated?


The funeral home seemed to have been producing one of these framed lists every year for a number of years. Each year, the list had included those decedents who, from November 1 of the previous year to October 31 of the current year, had either died or had their visitation at the funeral home--I'm not sure of the criteria for inclusion on the list. The start date was not randomly chosen--in a number of Christian denominations in the Western Christian tradition, November 1 is All Saints' Day.

I'm afraid I have no idea whether in the last few years this list has been produced. The Loreto may be more discreet these days, as evidenced by the revamped website that no longer allows you to search for older obituaries--at one time, everyone was able to search for obituaries going back to November 1, 2008.
