I don’t know much about Romanello but I will add I saw a document from the 80s with a Michael romanello listed as a Genovese member and living in queens, born somewhere around 1915 I think it was. I have no evidence but I made the connection that he was possibly Romanellos father or related in some way so potentially there is mob heritage.
The two men share the same surname, but that's it. There is no familiar or blood connection between them.
