I think nowadays all it takes is an Italian surname. An Italian father will do.

I even heard they made a Puerto Rican. All they asked was he drop the 's' at the end to make it appear more Italian.

Andre(w) Campo(s) IIRC a contemporary of Puff Daddy.

He goes by Campos. Not Campo. And he has Italian blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been made.

Ivy, Completely agree. Back in the old days, there were several high level guys in the Outfit who were not Italian at all. Murray Humphreys, Hy Larner, Gus Alex, Sam Alex, Ralph Pierce, Les Kruse, Lenny Patrick, Davey Yarras, Eddie Vogel. These men belonged to the Outfit and were under Murray Humphreys. This was his crew. These men then had men working directly under them full time. This was the Non-Italian Crew of the Outfit. You could say Humphreys and his men mentioned above were High level Associates and the men working under Humphrey's men were lower level Associates. They all belonged to the Outfit but were not considered made. When push came to shove, a high level Italian usually had the advantage. I say usually, because in the case of Murray Humphreys it would have benn debateable. There really was no disadvantage for these men that they weren't Italian except for the fact that they had no real power over other made Italian men. But, as long as they stuck to what they were supposed to do, they were in good standing and no one could touch them.

Campos is italian, mum and dad both Italian, it came out in that big case where Andy and Sal Loc made like 400 million or something stupid.

Even if he was only half Italian I'd imagine hed have been made anyway, hes a tough kid and a tremendius earner.

All the Salemme's, Billy Angelesco is rumored to be half irish too, Marcello from the Outfit, Jimmy Martorano's mother was Irish, hmmm....Tommy Del was half fuckin Polish for cryin' outs, then of course gotti jr. half Russian jew. I mean, who don't we know about though that's the question. I'd bet money that the mob doesn't actually trace your roots back to the old country anymore these days, maybe at the most they'll find out some things about your parents, but how many guys u think have just lied? We may never know.

i thought victoria gotti nee digiorgio was half russian jew which makes junior quarter russian jew

whatever man..

Yeah his surname is Campos. But he's known on the street as Andy Campo. Giving it more of a wop flair. I heard only his mother was Italian.



Campo is Italian. Campos is more often than not, Hispanic in origin. I had once read his father was a Puerto Rican.

AmericanCrime are you Italian?

they've probably made a few Mexicans who can't speak English in NY

ding ding ding ding

We actually have very few real Mexicans in NY, I mean we call them that, but there usually Puerto Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, or Cubans, I've lived in NY my entire life and have never met a real Mexican although I passed a few flags in Belmont recently

Potentially in part.

My dad's Puerto Rican. And ambiguously part Italian via his mother, as he has lead me to believe. Mother is Irish, coincidentally enough.

But I'm well, aware of the commonality of Latin derived surnames. But I've never met an Italian named Campos.
