Liborio Bellmo and his relatives are Italian born, right?
Zips, in my eyes were strictly criminals brought over to be "zipped" in and out of the country for stuff that when it happened, could absolutely not afforded to be attributed to anyone else, i.e. murders. True zips, like the guys Carmine Galante brought over we're here to make money and go back to Sicily and then only kicked it up to one guy, the guy who brought them over. Most zips didn't care about staying here or learning practicable English.
Furio in The Sopranos, in theory was not a zip. He had intentions in staying here. The two guys who killed Rusty Milio and the two guys Tony used to attempt, and fail to kill Phil Leotardo were zips. Stayed here for a job then left.
I'd assume the Bonannos and the Gambinos are the only true Zip families left. The others have Italian born members, however those members plan on staying here.

Who are the zips in the decavalcantes?
would they really count themselves as zips after all these years. I mean who do they recruit from into their crews if not mostly americans unless they just rely upon family relations. Ribera Zips: (Members from the Ribera family that work with the family in Jersey) Emmanuel Sortino (IP) Joe Gatto Giuseppe “Lenny” Terrasi Ignazio Massimino (IP) Giuseppe Capizzi Paolo Capizzi Nicolo Amari Giuseppe Campo

giuseppe terrasi is related with mimmo terrasi the mafia boss of cattolica eraclea near agrigento Also, Massimino is related to Massimino's in Realmonte, Agrigento. m2w, carmela: Very interesting information from you both. The Cotronis in the Montreal Mafia had ties to the DeCavalcantes going back to at least the mid-1970s, and the old Rizzuto organization still had such links going into the last decade -- there were a few articles from November 2006 that mentioned the Rizzutos had inside help at the Newark Airport to enable them to get drug shipments through without being inspected. This assistance, I'm speculating, most likely came from the DeCavalcante group. But now that we know Giuseppe Terrasi is related to Domenico "Mimmo" Terrasi, the capocosca in the Rizzutos' hometown, we see even more links. m2w: Do you think Gaetano Amodeo, born in Porto Empedocle, was the capocosca of Cattolica Eraclea who preceded Domenico Terrasi in this position?

antimafia,
Is Domenico Terrasi the current boss of Catolica Eraclea in the Sicilian Mafia hierachy? Yes he is. Thank you, carmela, for the corroboration. One more thing...as a side note: with regard to Andrea Amodeo, I've seen it written on line sometimes that he was the one responsible for killing police officer Giuliano Guazzelli, when in fact it was Gerlandino Messina that killed that officer.

The Detroit family has close ties to Terasini, Sicily, and has a small zip faction- the D'anna brothers and their father before them. I beleive Raffaele 'Jimmy Q' Quasarano was sicilian. He ran the heroin operations for the family.
