John Tommy Rosario Joseph Gambino I was at one of these guys Bday party ,I went with an uncle from Brooklyn it was at a country club it was 25 years ago and we were drinking ,trying to find out if that is all of them so i can get there ages and figure this out..I know Don carlo it was not and he was not there..Thanks

Theres tommy gambino whos carlos son and then theres tommaso gambino, rosarios son whos in the las angeles family(whats left of it) and i think the other 2 brothers(john and joe) also named there sons tommaso, i believe its a family name.

I think someone said it was they're fathers name.

Yes, that was me. All three of the Gambino brothers named their first born son after their father Tommaso. I wasn't talking about Carlo or his son but the 3 Gambino brothers Giovanni (John), Rosario (Sal) and Giuseppe (Joe).

That's correct. And not so much as it's a family name, as they have to name their first born son after the grandfather.

O ok that must be a sicilian thing?

True. I carried my son for 9 months, gave birth, and had no say in the name.
You learn to pick your arguments. lol

Thankyou all

The father of the Gambino brothers´ (John b 1940, Giuseppe "Joe" b ?, Rosario b 1942 and Erasmo b?), Tommaso, was a 3d cousin of Carlo Gambino. Joseph Gambino (1930-2004) (not the one mentioned above) was another distant relative who briefly served as a captain in 1980. I´m not sure exactly how they were related. This Joseph is the one pictured in the famous "Sinatra picture". Tommy Gambino´s brother Joe (son of Carlo) was never made. There is also a Joe "Red" Gambino who I think is the son of Paul (Carlo´s brother). A Giuseppe Gambino (also a distant relative of Carlo) was murdered in 1988 by Francesco Oliveri. And Antonio Gambino is also related somehow. This Gambino was sentenced to 15 years back in 1985. A lot of Gambinos to keep track on...

Erasmo Gambino isn't their brother he's married to the Gambino's sister Giovanna (Joanne). There are the 3 brothers John, Rosario (Sal) and Joe. Erasmo is their brother in law and so is Emanuel Gambino. Emanuel Gambino is John Gambino's wife Vittoria's brother. Not the Emanuel Gambino that was murdered in the 70's but a different one.

I'm not positive but the Joe Gambino in the Sinatra picture i'm pretty sure is "Joe From the Bronx" Gambino.

It´s all a mess. Thanks for jumping in. A question... Joe "From the Bronx" was a skipper wasn´t he?

I believe Joe from the Bronx was a capo.

John , joe , Rosario all married cousins and there sisters married cousins who where
Gambinos or inzerillo, John and joe are in newyork they have a few sons and a few daughters each , the Tomasso you maybe speaking of might have bin johns father Inlaw who was an inzerillo, they all married cousins if you see there kids
And the inzerillo kids they all look alike skinny and tall with the same way of speaking.
John an joes kids are wannabe tough guys cause of there dads and cousins
Rosario son in La is a gentalman always well dressed well spoken and down to earth.
And Cali has the burden of babysitting these guys for every thing they do .
The biggest burden of them all his brother Inlaw Peter

John married Vittoria Gambino, Rosario married Pina Romano and Joe Gambino married Maria Concetta Inzerillo.

I'm not so sure Vittoria Gambino is a first cousin of theirs. The Inzerillo daughter is a blood cousin and i'm really not sure about Pina Romano. But if you know differently i could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. lol

Maybe you could fill in a few gaps for me. I know all about Rosario's kids but John's and Joes i'm really not too sure how many there are and their status in the family. Besides knowing they all have sons named Tommaso do you know how many other son's John and Joe Gambino have? Thanks.

The Tommaso Gambino i was referring to in different posts was the 3 Gambino brothers father Tommaso Gambino who passed away in either 1979 or 80. All 3 of his sons named their first born sons after him.

I'm not sure the name of John & joe or Rosario's wife .

John Gambino has a son Tommy , and Danny
Tommy is in his early 40s and Danny late 20s
Tommy works for Ferraro foods and Danny imports cheap garbage
Wine from Italy. In the "family" I would say they are associates at most because of there dad. They walk around like Capos tho tommy especially .

Joe- has a son tommy fat tommy who became skinny & fat again lol I have no idea what he does for a living but he seems like a nice guy. I believe joe has a. Daughter - 1 of the Gambino daughter John or joes is involved in Realestate.

Rosario I no has tommy and a younger son in La .- Tommy does his own thing and makes money .

Like I said frank cali has the burden to baby sit uncles and cousins
They are not an easy bunc. They would screw some one over for a $
And always expect somthing from some one.


Also John Gambinos father Inlaw was calld Tommaso I believe and his dad.
Johnny Gambino and family are from toretta and so is lorenzo manninos family

Thanks Ciccio.

Hey you wouldn't happen to be Francesco Gambino's son Giovanni would you?

Lol no I'm. Just a kid who grew up idolizing these guys and then realized it was all bullshit.
Your talking about the kid who writes books and screen plays ?

LOL....Yes, i thought you might of been him since you use the name Ciccio. Thats what his dad was called.

You sure John Gambino is from Torretta? I always heard his family was from the Passo di Rigano section of Palermo. Or are we talking about different John Gambino's? I'm referring to Joe and Rosario's brother John.

The inzerillo's are from passo di rigano , The gambinos are from toretta

Ok...thanks Ciccio.

"Popular surnames in this town include: Caruso, Carollo, Gambino, DiMaggio, Intravaia, Mannino, Parlanti and Badalamenti."

Yeah yeah Wiki, I know. But interesting.

Sorry Ciccio but i'm pretty sure your wrong. The 3 Gambino brothers and their family are from passo di rigano. Franceso Gambino, Erasmo Gambino, and Emanuel Gambino are from Torretta but the 3 Gambino brothers family is from passo di rigano. Here is their own sister Giovanna saying where the family is from. But i've read the exact same thing in more then a couple files on them over the years. There are numerous Gambinos from Torretta but not the 3 Gambino brothers family.

This is Giovanna "Joanne" Gambino their sister who is married to Erasmo Gambino. So unless there's a neighborhood called
passo di rigano in Torretta i'm pretty sure Giovanna knows where her family came from. The Adamitas are from the same neighborhood and grew up withe Gambino's.

no question, they are from torretto..no matter what anyone reads..also the mannino's

Your right about the Mannino's bronx. They are from Torretta. Francesco Gambino's mother was a Mannino. But the 3 notorious Gambino brothers known as the Cherry Hill Gambino's are from Passo di Rigano.

But you know what...it really doesn't matter. No big deal but when i was going thru some shit and i saw it again i figured i'd post it. Not worth arguing about either way. Mrs GC is home and i'm done for the night.

John Gambino is from torreta, his sister owns a resturant in freehold nj
I don't no if that's her or not , but how do u no that's Erasmos wife ?

Bingo...give the man a prize. The online photo is from a few years ago when she worked at her friends restarurant on Staten Island. She now has the place in Freehold. Go in their ask for Joanne or Giovanna and bring that photo and even ask her. I'm 100% it's her. 2morrow if you really think i'm bullshitting you i'll get a littele more detailed about it and i think i even have a picture of her and Rosario with his wife from the 1970's. 100% that picture online is their sister Giovanna Gambino aks Joanne. I even have an old interview she gave years ago where she talks about how people think she married her cousin but she says Erasmo is not a blood relative. It's actually a pretty good interview she gave. She's as bad as her brothers and claim their all innocent and were being setup because of their last name. lol!

erasmo is her cousin.. she never had to change her name when she married him

never an argument..we are here to share opinions and facts as we know them..we all learn on here..thanks
