This is a photo of Aniello Dellacroce and Armand Rava at the Copacabana. Dellacroce is in the center and he has his arm around Rava. Does anyone know if the other guys in the photo are Mafioso or who they are?

Cool fuckin photo raven.. nice post pal... no idea on the other guys.. but dude next to neil looks awfully familiar

Side note..but I believe i read Frank Costello secretly controlled the Copa through 57..who/what family had control from 57 until whenever it finally closed? Gambinos?

I don't think that's Joe Beck.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

The guy whose shoulder Dellacroce's hand is on is Armand "Tommy" Rava. I have a feeling the rest are mobsters but don't know.

So Dellacroce probably named his son after Rava, as his name was Armand 'Buddy' Dellacroce.

His son was never respected I think, I remember on that wire tap of Gotti, Ruggiero and a dying Dellacroce about 'them tapes', Ruggiero said he can't give the tapes up because there are good friends of him on them tapes, if it was an asshole like Buddy he said, he would give it up in 2 seconds flat.

He was on the thin and gaunt side in at least one of his younger photos that appears in the Boss Of Bosses book. I think Belmont got it.

Yes, but that was when he was very young, like his late teens. This photo is probably in the mid 50's somewhere and there are pictures of Castellano after the Apalachin debacle and he is already quite heavy at that time so I don't think this is him in the pic. Definitely looks like him, but that person is just too thin and even though he is sitting I can see that he misses height to be Paul, who was a tall and large man for his day..

The man on the far right could be Paul Gambino, Carlo's brother.

Not sure he is Paolo, but he does have the face of a Gambino/Castellano.

That ain't Paul. I'm not as good with faces as most are on here, but that definitely ain't Castellano.

Kind of looks like a young castellano to me as well. Castellano was very thin in his younger days. That pic with Dellacroce was in the 1950’s which would put castellano in only his late 30’s or early 40’s.
Doesnt look like joe beck all that much.

Castellano had a scar on his left eyebrow, it doesn't even match up with the guy on the far right. In the 50's he was starting to get thicker too, that guy is way too thin.

Nice photo. smile A historical note:

Notice the liquor bottle on the table, and the soda bottles in the background? Years ago, nightclubs offered "setups" as an alternative to buying individual drinks. A "setup" was a "fifth" bottle (4/5 of a quart) of liquor, with mixers (club soda, ginger ale) and ice in a bucket. A Mob big shot, hosting other Mob guys, always ordered a setup to show that he was a "sport." The reality was that, for a big party, a setup was a lot cheaper than all the individual drinks the party would order, and that the big shot would have to pay for.

That's still done today at all the trendy clubs. It guarantee you to get in and a table in the VIP room. They usually go for about $450-600 per bottle and the set up. well worth it when you go with a group.
