Even as a "yoot", the young Signor Vitelli could often be found doing a short stretch in the "pen". Shown here in a 1956 photo, the wiseguy-in-training-pants was no stranger to life behind bars. While usually refusing to talk, the "Diaper Don" could be heard, periodically, bawling for his mouthpiece.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
