Casso also to Al D'Arco to kill his architect Anthony Fava in 1992
http://articles.philly.com/1992-07-20/news/26027522_1_casso-dream-house-lucheseCasso's dream house has a modern stucco design that was the work of Anthony Fava, an architect and contractor who had done other work for mobsters.
Fava, 37, did work on the 19th Hole, the Bay Ridge bar-hangout of Casso and Amuso, and La Donna Rosa, an eatery on Cleveland Place owned by D'Arco's son, Joseph.
D'Arco told the FBI that Casso ordered Fava's execution during a phone conversation in 1991. D'Arco said Casso "needed Fava killed" because the architect knew about "illegal deals relative to Casso's home."
On Sept. 20, Fava's body was found in a stolen car in Bensonhurst. He had been stabbed, shot and stripped to his boxer shorts, with his body wrapped in a plastic sheet.
