VINCENZO "VINCENT" TARANTOLA
was a blood relative of the Boss, Joe Bonanno. For a time he lived and represented the Family in Cuba in the mid-50s. He became a Capo and had dealings with the likes of Santo Trafficante Jr. on the island. After the fall of the Cuban operations due to the end of Bautista's reign, Tarantola relocated to the Family home base, Brooklyn. He remained loyal throughout the "Bananas War". Several of his children and other relatives remained in allegiance to Joe Bonanno in Arizona.
