So no crew in Providence and no presence on Federal Hill as of 2018? The issue with Federal Hill right now is that the neighborhood itself has changed drastically over the years. Baby Shacks was living above one of the restaurants on Atwells ave but I'm not sure he is still residing there as he's getting up in age. In his younger years you would see Louie jogging through out Federal Hill and around the city for his exercise. The neighborhood itself has been dominated by minorities. The one issue up there right now is the gang activity off of Atwells ave. The Italian population is not even close to what it was back in the day. I've even heard of potential MS-13 being present there but I don't believe it to be entirely true from who I've asked. Matty Gug's (Consig) is from Cranston. The outskirts of the city such as Johnston, North Providence, and Cranston are where anyone with any juice is living. Those are highly populated Italian areas. Johnston has the highest percentage of Italian Americans of any municipality in the country. The Tiberi's could be still active around that area but not what they were. But their son's and nephews aren't involved to my knowledge. If we're talking Non Italian associates in the Cranston/Johnston area, Gerry Tillinghast is back on the street but inactive. I don't see him doing much at his age. His son Jarrod was involved back in the 90's with the Silver Lake crew but they've since dismantled. The Ouimette's are pretty much gone except one nephew who still has close ties with some of the leftovers. But he isn't involved to my knowledge. And Mark Battista and Timmy Moretti ran alot of the illegal gambling in the Cranston/Warwick area, but we're recently busted a couple years ago. If your looking for an update on soldiers, Blaise Marfeo, a long standing soldier in the family is in bad health. He could be the next to go. I spoke with his nephew two nights ago on The Hill. So its legit. Pmac, after one of those blizzards in Rhode Island we actually did some work in Westerly RI. They say Taylor Swift has a home there too. Imagine seeing it with 2 feet of snow and fog so thick you could barely see the house standing in their yard.
Federal Hill still has a pretty good size Italian population and at one time Baby Shacks was still living there on the Hill as well. Dixie, the one thing alot of people outside of Rhode Island might not know is that Westerly has a HUGE Calabrian community. But they are very blue collar. I was always surprised no one ever came out of there. Especially since the Calabian dialect is alive down there.

Good stuff Marble....so the consensus would be that faction is dead. As far as a crew/half a family goes. To expand on my original questioning....do the Patriarcas need it strategically to maintain the family or are they now only focused on Boston?

To expand on my original questioning....do the Patriarcas need it strategically to maintain the family or are they now only focused on Boston? IMO I'd have to say that you have the Underboss and Consigliere present in Rhode island and that's about it. Any one else around is pretty much retired with very little influence at the table. Joe Ruggiero is still in RI as a capo but I never hear anything about him except hes a legitimate businessman. I don't know how much respect he carries with the Boston faction. I don't see any younger crews coming up in Providence. Even in the areas outside the city. Yes, they do. Because Providence is a city that is building up. There's got to be money to be made through construction, gambling, loanshark, not to mention the new casino being built in Fall River, MA starting soon. Ruggiero does have some connections in that city. I think Boston is the focus now. With East Boston/Revere still being very strong hot beds to recruit IMO. More so than the neighboring towns outside Providence. They have the admin up there now. So Boston is the shift. When Manocchio was the boss he at least still had Deluca on the street along with the Scivola's and Lato's of the world. So there was still some power in Providence but today is a different story unfortunately.

You guys crack me up, you really think Old Man Manocchio was at the helm for what 15 years and didn't make tons of guys in Rhode Island, his own backyard, please. 15 years !!
Guys in NE learned to be deep under the radar, you think guys like Ruggiero, Anthony Parillo and Eddie Lato are Capo's of nothing ? One man crews? Not.
There's no doubt that Boston is the new hub, it probably always should have been, and with the Cheeseman and his soon to be released brother at the helm they will either get it correct or ruin the family for ever.
Also, Joseph Achille is the consigliere, he's been seen in Boston more often lately and Guglielmetti is the acting UB and really will not go to Boston -- doesn't trust anyone up there, doesn't really know them.
BTW, Manocchio is in Florida and is not coming back even to visit, lol.
My last friend up there takes bets only during football season and is a bartenders at a strip club, he sees these guys and hears things. He said he saw Cheese and Spagnolo talking just the other night

And Gug's is supposedly talking with Philly. So I agree he won't go to Boston.

Thinking along those lines....I have read either on here that Merlino was never made by his predecessors only self designated and then made all his friends. If thats the case, that can bring an argument that there is an ability to use entitlement if you are an Italian American and connected in some form to the Mafia you can make a claim to the organization, follow historical rituals and standards, have a crew, overall culture of it, or create a hybrid form of it. Not necessarily like a minor league either. Im not saying that the Mafeo guy and brothers fit that overall but is that essentially what the modern Mafia has turned into in America? Maybe im way off but I think its worthy. If you guys wanted to pick apart the theory I would be equally excited.

Well thats kind of what I mean. Thats why I tend to believe posters posts and abilities to speak about a hyper local family/crww and know way more past articles that theyve read. In your opinion is Gugliemetti wield more power than the Dinunzios and if so would he need a crew of his own in Providence? Even with title of Consigliere?

Hi, pmac
Love Wright’s farm. There is the food place & there is also a dairy farm. Same name but not related. The dairy farm has blueberry pie & apple pie to die for. You will not get better milk anywhere. I go at least 3 Sunday’s a month. Then I have to run 5 days in a row to keep the weight off. Lmao

Yes a lot of people on this board knows what it means. Godfather came out a long time ago.
I think the Mafia you describe and yearn for ended about 40 years ago. And treachery and backstabbing have been staples of the Mafia since its formation.
