haha right, i would love to see a picture of him and his family all together. I have seen atleast 8 Borgesi' and they all look funny

anybody got a pic of Joe Giardina?

gambino guy

George Borgesi looks like a fat ugly fuck with a punkass attitude.

freckles borgesi.......lol great

In case no one replied to this(2 years ago) I believe the young one is Joey D'Angelo....a youngster at the time of the last Gotti trial groomed by Sammy the Bull....after he was in the Curtis Sliwa shooting he joined Team America, andthe older guy is Joe Butters who was quite the spokesman during Gotti's last trial

Jackie Nose's hairpieces always look sharp!

I always wanted to see a shot of Blue Jaw and Buggsy together...I knew they were tight back in the day(which is why Goldstein was all in tears when Magoon testified against him in that trial that sent him and Pep Strauss to Sing Sing to sit in Old Sparky)

I really enjoyed this thread...it's the first one I ran through since I signed on here, and in the 30-plus years I've been reading OC books, and watching documentaries I can say more than 60% of the photos here I definitely have never peeped before so thank you very much for taking the time to post them all...I appreciate the effort*

Anyone have any pics of Joey Merlino from the 80's?

Yeah sure uncle jesse from full house

does anyone know who the dead man is on the cover of selwyn raab's five families?

i'm on the 2nd to last chapter of the book and the entire time i've been reading it it's been eating away at me bit by bit not knowing who's in the photo

tommy bolotti

are you sure? that does make sense now that you mention it though, i've never seen him and big paul from that angle that close up before

EDIT: also, does anyone have any photos of shorty spero?? thanks

James "Jimmy Nap" Napoli, Genovese capo.



Sammy Davis, Jr. and Outfit member Frank “One Ear” Fratto



Roy Demeo hunting, probably still pissed-off about the Gemini Twins killing that damn cow.



Supposedly "Big Jim" Colosimo and his wife on their honeymoon.



Joe Adonis.



Frank Polizzi of the DeCavalcantes.



Vito Genovese's rap sheet.

I think we may finally come to a rest on this matter. According to the new D´Arco book (a pretty decent read btw) both Anthony Senter and Joey Testa were inducted into the Lucchese Family in 1988. They were put in D´Arco´s crew (the old Paul Vario crew).

I love to see all these pictures of these mobsters.

Does anyone have anymore pics of celebrities with mobsters? And I know this is off topic but I always felt that De Niro was a much better actor than Al Pacino.

Nope. Pacino is definitely the better actor of the two.

i thought jilly was with the colombos

Completely agree Southend...Freckles is a real piece of shit!!! Fucking punk with his white sox hat and his pinstriped suit...his buddy Damion is a real piece of shit as well...hope both of these guys are used as human urinals while in prison...over and over again!

Borgesi looks like he has a combination of down syndrome and bells palsy disease...Punk ass with no respect for LCN.

The Borgesi gene pool definitely has some cousins banging cousins and I would be surprised if his mom and dad were brother and sister.

Not a Borgesi fan huh? lol i agree with you on all accounts. Hes a bum, same with Canalichio.

Idk. Both are great but pacino is only defined by one role while de niro has had more defining roles. They both have had a lot of terrible roles. But I'd say if both of their careers ended after the 90s or even before the 90s started, De Niro would be seen as the better actor. De Niro I would put in the top 3 all time idk if I would put pacino up there. I think the main reason they're always compared so much is because they came up at around the same time and they're both Italian americans who have played mobsters.

Never was a Borgesi fan...or Dame...however, I am a fan of Uncle Joe, I hope he gets off so he could continue to run the family with relative peace.

^How come you don't like Borgesi? I don't know too much about him.

I personally prefer Deniro too, but what one role are you talking about? If it's Michael Corleone i wouldn't even say that's his best performance, i'd say that's Dog Day Afternoon. As well as DDA and the three Godfathers, there's Scarface,Serpico,And Justice for all. I'd also say he's very underrated in Donnie Brasco too.

For Deniro i'd say, GF2,Taxi Driver,Raging Bull,Goodfellas,King of Comedy,Casino and Heat. Maybe Once Upon a Time In America too, but Deniro always annoyed me in that.

Yes Pacino MADE Donnie Brasco along with Madsen. You'll find a copy of The Godfather (I and II) and Scarface in about every household these days. The same could probably be said for Goodfellas and maybe Casino. I say Pacino.
