Was he a real person?! Can’t find nothing on him anywhere and seems like he might be made up by Valachi??!


Best guess is Giosue Aiello. Half a dozen Genovese members started in his crew before joining the Genovese and a couple ended up in the Lucchese crime family. From informants close to Phil Albanese and David Petillo, both started out in Aiello crew and he was 30 to 40 years older then them as both said different age gaps, which would mean Aiello was born between 1867 to 1878. Aiello also had a son with the same name born in the 1890s.


Through some research on newspapers.com I found that a Giuseppi Aiello was murdered in May 1929. Theres a article from the standard union newspaper brooklyn dated May 24,1929. The article says he was shot during a holdup at candy store/restaurant located at 133 melrose street in Bushwick. The address is significant because theres a few articles that have this address listed as the home of Charles Gagliodotto and a couple of his brothers. In this specific article they say the owner of the restaurant was "Vintana Guitano".. Chaloots had a older brother named Vincenzo who was murdered the following year in 1930 down on eldridge street. Its too much of a coincidence.
