Tony Lucania was kicked out of Greco's crew as an associate cause he was too arrogant and thought his crap didn't stink cause of who his uncle was. His father Joe who was involved in the life was able to talk to Frank Costello and Benny who got him transferred with Brooklyn. Tony was made in the 1970s, and did learn his craft well from Costello and Benny in corrupt and bribery, some in gambling, but not on the scale until he was in Brooklyn and really learned Gambling and loansharking. Never involved in a hit. Passed away in 08 or 09. He had a sit down with Carmine brother AL PepsiCo, and John Riccobeno of the Gambinos, both were gambling related. That is as much I know.

Salvatore ''Tom Mix'' Santoro and his nephew Anthony DiLapi.

Anthony DiLapi was murdered on orders of Vic Amuso and Anthony Casso.

''Tom Mix'' Santoro was in prison so there was nothing he could do about it.

Talking about the greats, does Lucky and that generation have any present members in the Mob. We have Sonny and Michael, Carlo Gambino and son, Joe Colombo and Jr.

It always intrigued me that Tommy Gambino born in 1929 could have met the founders as a child.

Captbony, this is a great question (and one that probably would do well to have its own thread.)

Off the top of my head, Joe Adonis' son, NJ Genovese Family soldier, Joe Doto Jr., immediately comes to mind.

After all, Giuseppe (Joe Adonis) Doto Sr., was definitely one of the "greats" as you mentioned. But to be honest with you, I really don't know if he's still alive or not.

But I'm sure if we really think long and hard about, we can probably come up with a few more who are still alive and kicking.

Carmine Lombardozzi and his nephew Daniel Marino.

Both powerful captains in the Gambino Crime family.

Didnt Lombardozzi speak up for his nephew (Marino) to the Gambino administration in the 1960's because Marino was in deep trouble for assaulting cops?

Sebastiano Aloi was a powerful Profaci/Colombo captain; and a true 'Original'
I believe he may have been in the administration at some point.

But anyways, His son Vincent Aloi may be alive and kicking... but most likely retired.

Vincent Aloi is most likely last person alive that was made under a original boss in the 1950's.

He may have met some of the Original bosses with his father; Sebastian Aloi.

I'm surprised as notorious as Tony Mirra was he didn't have a crazy ass nickname, or any nickname for that matter, besides "Tony."

Yep, and on that note, Carmine has another nephew, George Lombarodzzi, who was also involved.

Matthew Ianniello ans his nephew Conrad Ianniello


Matthew Ianniello was a powerful captain and one time Acting Boss in the Genovese's.

Conrad Ianniello is a captain in the Genovese's. I highly doubt he is as powerful and influential as his deceased uncle. .

@NyMafia.

I forgot those two.

Any idea when Conrad Ianniello was made?

1970's or 1980's?

I'm guessing in the 80's.

I suspect you're correct. He could have even gotten it sometime in the 90s too.

This is confusing because their are several Carmine Franzese's..

John Franzese and his nephew Carmine "Tutti" Franzese.

John Franzese was the vicious underboss of the Colombo's

Carmine "Tuttu" Franzese (Born 1932) was a soldier in the Colombo's. Believe he was close with Joe Massino and several Bonnano crews

Some say Tutti was John's brother but I believe he had a nephew name Carmine Franzese.

@NyMafia; What is your thought?

Carmine Salvatore (Tutti) Franzese was the "nephew" of Sonny Franzese. He was the son of Sonny's older brother, Mike Franzese. He was not a son.

His nickname Tutti is derived from his middle name Salvatore. Tutti, a shortened version of "Turiddo," is a very common nickname for Salvatore.

If you're interested in learning more about Tutti, we have an in-depth biography of him on our ButtonGuys of the New York Mafia website.

Thats right. And vice versa, Carmine's brothers Allie and Teddy were uncles to Carmine's sons. Allie didn't have any kids, but Teddy did. So, in turn, Carmine and Teddy were uncles, respectively, to one another's kids.
