Would love to see an article on John Tartamella, John Aquaro and Joe Brown Lucchese from NY Mafia. Well you got your wish with Joe Brown. I just posted him. for Tartamella and Aquaro there isn't enough info to create hardly anything. I may be able to put a little something together for Tartamella, but if won't be earth shattering I assure you. But I'll see what I can do ok

What was Rusty Rastelli's reputation in this Family. Was he a feared guy or respected guy? Was he an earner?

What was Paul Sciacca's reputation in the streets before and after his rise to Boss? I don't have first hand knowledge of Sciacca. But my impression of Paul Sciacca would be that of a lower keyed member. As far as if he was a brash guy or quiet, I'd think quieter. He only had 1 arrest dating back to his youth for a burglary charge. Thats it, 1 arrest. So he doesn't look like a real wild street guy ya know?

So when you put Smitty D' Angelo, Frank Mari, Rusty Rastelli and Mike Adamo around him, he becomes a serious threat? Apparently he was a one of the smarter guys and an earner for himself? And what about this? What was Rusty Rastelli's reputation in this Family. Was he a feared guy or respected guy? Was he an earner?

Something that goes overlooked during Joe Bonanno's reign, is the firm position he had in the garmet industry with a number of members involved. How much of that influence was the Bonannos able to maintain in the 70s?

How much of that influence was the Bonannos able to maintain in the 70s? And also (I know this is jumping era's) but is it safe to say to Bonanno Family was "richer" in the 30s and 40s because the members were younger and more capable. By the 50s, Joe shifted more to the drugs and outside NY business, so the family lost some ground..... (Just my opinion) I know we've agreed on Joe B's greed but in my research (comparative to the other Families), they were never able to compete earner wise and brain power wise. I mean my Thread on the Luciano Family is like night and day, as far as the capability of the members. Throw on the equally massive Manganos. Then the wise Luccheses and the tough Profacis..... I mean at some point l, somebody's gotta get put out the market.

Do you know how Joe Bonanno and the older "Mimi" Domenico Sabella relationship was like in the later years? I know they had a beef in the late 20's/early 30's. And do you know of his rackets?

I have no idea. But the other Sabella, Mike Sabella of Mulberry Street was a very dear friend of mine. He was a gentleman and a half. A big earner, and a sharp, sharp guy. I always liked Mikey. Not to mention the Sicilian food he served at his Ca Sa Bella Ristorante was among the best in the neighborhood.

Interesting. Do you know about he origins of the "three capos" Phil Giaccone, Sony Red Indelicato and Big Trin Trinchera during this time? I heard Trinchera wasn't a figure until the late 70's, what about the others? Do you know their rackets and who they were connected to?

Phil Lucky was made probably in 1955 or 1956 with his mentor being John Aquaro. DNK when Sonny Red and Big Trin got involved with the Joseph Bonanno family, but guessing in the 1950s.

All those Families seemed to be playing the fence (especially Bruno and Zerilli) during this situation. Chicago was kicking up alittle dust about Vegas and Arizona particularly orchestrating some bombings in Tuscon. But they weren't aggressive about a resolution of the conflict or Commission Issues.
I Think If Bonanno was able to quel the Families by situating the Leadership problems, the other Families would go along until another NY Family dealt with Bonanno.
Bonanno had a pleasant relationship with the Milwaukee boss prior to Balistrieri. He operated some dairy factories in Wisconsin, so they at least had a working relationship. I do know, Balistrieri made complaints about Bonanno invading territory and was alleged to be involved in some of the bombing in Tuscon.
It's possible Vito Genovese or Tommy Ryan would have started a 2nd Castellammarese War had Bonanno won. West Side would probably not want like another family that's bigger than them. Well Vito was in jail and the power dynamics in his Family were changing. Tommy Ryan was playing ball with Luchesse and Gambino but Tommy Brown dies in 67'. And Tommy Ryan get sneaky with Don Carlo. Evoli is soon to be eliminated and guys like Lombardo, Tieri, Salerno and Gigante Rise. I believe Bonanno would have been left alone. On that podcast show "Mob Talk Radio" the guy always says "if Bonnano had got involved, he would have gotten killed". I disagree because he still had connections, he was involved with Galante in some capacity in the 70s and had a scam going in San Jose. Nothing happened!
