What is the name of the mafia from Calabria? Like Cosa Nostra is the mafia of Sicily and the Camorra is from Napoli.

Yes, Galuccio was the guy who scarred Scarface  . Costello walked out of the Kefauver Committee meeting because he'd been humiliated (when asked what he did for his country, he replied, "I pay my tax" and everyone laughed). He then decided he wasn't going to answer any more questions--landing him in jail for contempt of Congress. Q. After the hearings concluded, who did Kefauver say was the biggest gambling gangster in America?

I think it was Jack Dragna, no? By the way, Turnbull and Juve, you guys' knowledge is amazing and very fun to read. If my Dragna was right, here's my question: Who owned Cafe Biondo in New York?

Welcome, Letizia, and thanks for the kudo  . Cafe Biondo was owned by Joe (Butch) Corrao, a capo in the Gambino family. Continuing in the vein of Mob-owned Little Italy eateries: Q. Who owned CaSaBella?

Turnbull, I thought the answer on my question was Calogero Vizzini, and not Genco Russo. But now I don't know, cause for a guy with your knowledge..... But maybe your right, Maybe Genco Russo took over after Calogero Vizzini. I don't know much about Genco Russo..
