Were the Falduto brothers the shooters for the Scoppas in the Sollecito and Giordano hits, then double -crossed and killed themselves by the Scoppas? Seems like they were clearly Scoppa crew members...
no, Scarfo and Massari were on that hit. Falduto bros were eliminated because of their loyalty to the Sicilians and the territory they controlled (part of RDP)
The Falduto surname is found most among Italians whose ancestry is from Calabria but is common enough that people in Lombardia, Lazio, Piemonte, Sicily, and Toscana -- among other regions -- also bear that surname. Do you happen to know whether there is definitive information that the Falduto brothers had Calabrian ancestry?
I'm fairly certain Lorenzo Giordano's mother (last name: Scrufari) descended from Calabria. Did his father as well?
Once again the media strikes. They pitch this whole thing as a Sicilian vs Calabrian rivalry when it's not that simple.
Falduto are from Reggio Calabria Giordano also from Reggio Calabria Sollecito from Bari Spagnolo from Cattolica Eraclea Scoppa is from Catanzaro region
Clearly this isn't a sicilian vs calabrian cell war but rather a battle for turf between different clans which have italian canadian leaders from various regions in italy. The Scoppa brothers were at odds with similarly aged gangsters left from the old rizzuto clan.
