I’ve been doing some research on West Canadian underworld and it seems like many HA in the greater Vancouver area are of Italian descent, especially those associated with the Longshoremen and the ports. Rick Ciarniello, Gino Zumoano, Larry Amero, Vincent Brienza and Damiano Di Popolo just to name a few.

Damiano Di Popolo pops up a lot and, along him, the non-biker De Cottiis.

According to internet spec and some indy blogger, the Di Popolo are quite “infamous” around Burnaby (“Little Italy”) and East Van.

Then I found these two Reality TV shows clips/pilots featuring Damiano and his twin brother Rocco:





They act like East coast guidos with West coast wigger-bro swag. Street trash I’d say but they’re clearly quite loaded.

(^ LOL the old Italian dude Mr. Tony Iuliano still speaking broken English after probably living in Canada for several decades...)

The Di Popolo used to/own many Italian-themed businesses, (some now appear to have permanently closed: Caffè Napoli, Roma Bar) and a few others.

Any local or knowledgeable poster know more about them and the whole Italian HAs thing?
