I've got a question. Can anyone here name all of the individuals in this photo?



What I've got so far...
Seating(left to right): Joe Bonanno, no idea, Frank Costello, Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, John Gotti, Carlo Gambino, no idea.

Standing(left to right): John Gotti JR, no idea, Paul Castellano, no idea, no idea.


I know it's not a rare photo but hey...it's a photo anyway!

Far right is Joe Profaci. Albert Anastasia is standing in between Gambino and Profaci. Second from left is Maranzano (based on the fake picture of him). The guy standing with Castellano is most likely Colombo. I don´t know who the guy standing with Gotti Jr is supposed to be.

That's not Junior, that's Vito Genovese. Maybe the guy with him is Joe Masseria.

It's not a photo; it's a drawing and a bad one, at that.

There is no John Gotti, Jr there.

It´s interesting because there are some noticeable "messeges" in the painting. For example, look at the way Gambino and Profaci are looking at eachother when Anastasia "butts in" between them. Also, look at how Colombo is gesturing like he´s saying "come on, you want a piece of this?" and Castellano is trying to restraint him. Far left is Bonanno and Maranzano. Maranzano is showing with his hand "this is the way we´re going to do this" and at the same time shielding the two of them from the others (with his hand). Bonanno seems to look at him with suspiscion. Vito Genovese is nervous (touching his tie) in the presence of Masseria.

Yeah. And look at John Gotti hugging Al Capone, as if he was saying:"They weren't on the TV like the two of us. And that's what counts."

I could be wrong, but i don't think that's Gotti Sr either... Judging by all of the "Old School" characters in the pic, my guess would be Marcello. ?

I wonder why they threw Gotti in there with all of the old-timers?

Probably because he's the most known mobster from his generation. And all of the guys in the picture alltogether had major roles in the mafia.

The guy sitting with Joe Bonanno looks like Syrian president Bashar al-Assad (minus the mustache, of course)

And Frank Costello looks like Harrison Ford.

Would definitely be interesting to see which one of these guys would rise to the top if they all lived in the same era.

Ricca? Why is The waiter sitting down with his guests of honor?

Shouldn't he be taking their orders? Refilling their drinks?

Looks like Lucchese standing next to Genovese. Weren't they allies too?

I'd drop Colombo, he nothing really says "greatness" like drawing heat on all five families with publicity stunts and getting assinated for it.

I'm surprised that niether Ginacana or Accardo made the cut. Maybe put in Raymond Patriarcha for honorable mention. I'm kinda impressed that the artist even knew who half these guys are, usually these kitschy drawings are of Capone and movie stars pretending to be mobsters (Pacino, Brando, Deniro etc.)

This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this, hey, thats great. But it's very, very unpredictable. There are so many ways you can screw it up.-Paul Castellano (he would know)

I found the drawing randomly when I googled Carlo Gambino. It's called The last sitdown.

This one, however, is called The Don's bluff.

Yes they were. But I believe Snakes is correct. It has to be Masseria, the guy next to Genovese. Benny says the guy far right is Lucchese, but to me it looks like Profaci. He could be right though. If it is Profaci, Lucchese is not there. He was a real snake. A great add to the painting would be Lucchese´s head peering out of something or a portrait of him on one of the walls. That would summarize his character in a great way lol.

Actually, it does look a little more like Lucchese, whom I completely forgot about. Probably modeled after this photo:
