Podcast appearances and mentions of vito genovese

Hinweis: Unsere Folge als Gäste beim Podcast His2Go findet ihr ab dem 30.05.2025 auf dem Kanal von His2GoElegant, charmant - und tödlich: Bugsy Siegel gilt als einer der bekanntesten amerikanischen Mobster des 20. Jahrhunderts. Als Gründungsmitglied der Kosher Nostra, dem jüdischen Pendant zur italienischen Mafia, bewegt sich Siegel in einer Welt aus Gewalt, Macht und Luxus. Zusammen mit seinem engen Vertrauten Meyer Lansky baut er ein Unterwelt-Imperium auf und wird von anderen Mafiagrößen wie Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese und Frank Costello geachtet und gefürchtet. Doch während Lansky strategisch und kontrolliert agiert, verliert Siegel zunehmend die Bodenhaftung. Sein Traum: ein Casino-Imperium mitten in der Wüste Nevadas. Das "Flamingo" in Las Vegas sollte nicht nur ein Hotel, sondern ein Denkmal seines Größenwahns werden. Die Baukosten explodieren, Gelder werden veruntreut und damit der Sturz eines Gangsters eingeläutet, der mit Stil tötete und mit Arroganz verlor. Bugsy Siegel - der Gentleman-Gangster, der sich verzockte und schließlich als Vorlage in Mario Puzos "Der Pate” landete.

The writer and podcaster Will Sloan returns for a show about Robert De Niro's latest film, Barry Levinson's The Alto Knights, where he plays two parts on screen, the mob boss Frank Costello and his hotheaded rival Vito Genovese, and their decades-long struggle for control of the New York mafia.The Alto Knights was the pet project of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who brought this expensive vanity production to the screen seemingly as a personal favour to the veteran screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi, a film made by elderly creatives that flopped hard at the box office on release. So why this project? And why is Robert De Niro playing both lead parts? This is what Will and I wanted to know, and so we discuss the failures of The Alto Knights along with a look at De Niro's public persona as one of Trump's biggest haters and how he can still deliver as a great actor from time to time, depending on the director. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

In today's episode, we wrap up one of the most detailed and historically rich series we've ever done. In Part Three of our special deep dive into the FBI's 1967 report on La Cosa Nostra, we close the book on an era where the mob's influence was at its peak across the United States.This final installment takes us beyond New York's Five Families and paints a broader picture of organized crime's national footprint — from the power struggles within familiar crime families to lesser-known but highly active Mafia outposts across the country.Read the full FBI report for yourself: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=113324

By Robert Riggs The Godfather. Goodfellas. The Sopranos. Hollywood entertained us with polished fiction—honor among thieves, loyalty bound by blood, men of principle wrapped in tailored suits. But the real mob? It was darker. Colder. Predatory. The smile came first. The knife came after. This is the true story of how FBI Special Agent Mike Campi helped dismantle the Genovese crime family—the oldest, largest, and most insidious of New York's five Mafia Families. Founded by Charles “Lucky” Luciano in 1931. Consolidated under Vito Genovese in the late 1950s. The family once ruled Manhattan's west side piers and the Fulton Fish Market on the East River with quiet brutality. Everything moved through their hands—money, muscle, silence. Campi joined the FBI's Organized Crime Squad in 1985, stepping into the heart of a sweeping federal assault on the American Mafia. Over the next two decades, he led investigations that exposed the rot behind the façade. His new book, Mafia Takedown, pulls back the curtain on what really happened. Not the Hollywood version. The truth.

Barry Levinson er tilbage med en rigtig spillefilm. Robert De Niro spiller igen gangster. Vi skal tilbage til 30'erne og 50'ernes USA og følge historien om Frank Costello og Vito Genovese. To gangsterbosser, der startede som venner, men endte som fjender. Kan The Alto Knights overkomme et bizart casting-valg og et lavt budget og levere endnu en klassisk gangsterfilm? https://www.ikassenshow.dk/2025/04/i-kassen-1153-alto-knights-2025.html

In this bonus episode of Gangland Wire, I follow up on my interview with Mafia historian Anthony DeStefano to discuss New York City's organized crime more. One of the most significant topics Anthony and I covered was the Alto Nights social club. This was not only the title, but also the central character in the recent Mafia film written by Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi, who starred Robert De Niro in dual roles. Gary sets the record straight on two pivotal New York crime hangouts—the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club—which the media frequently confuse. The Ravenite at 247 Mulberry, tied to Carlo Gambino, played a crucial role in his rise to power after Albert Anastasia's assassination. Meanwhile, the Alto Knights Social Club, at 86 Kenmarre, emerged from the old Cafe Royale, a well-known bookmaking hub, solidifying its place in Genovese family history. Only three blocks separated these clubs, but they were miles apart in Mafia history. Listeners will hear about notorious gangsters who frequented the Alto Knights, including Vito Genovese, Michael Miranda, and infamous enforcer Buster Ardito. Through historical anecdotes and law enforcement surveillance records, this episode paints a vivid picture of mob life—its power struggles, criminal enterprises, and the relentless pursuit by federal authorities.

Good to be back here in Studio Gangland Wire. A little bonus episode here. Hopefully, you just listened to or watched my interview with Anthony DeStefano, who had these books about Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, and from which Nick Pileggi researched to write his screenplay for the most recent movie that's just released, Alto Nights, It's a pretty interesting movie. We haven't seen a movie about the mob in the 50s since the 50s or the 60s, I don't think. And they talk about the Alto Knight Social Club. That's what this was all about, the Alto Knight Social Club. It was a Genovese social club. But what I've noticed is there's a lot of discussion about where was this club? And there's a whole school of thought, thanks to the New York Times or another New York newspaper, were obviously conflating the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club. Two different clubs. So let's look at the Ravenite, which was at 247 Mulberry Street. And what the papers are saying, that the Alto Knights name was changed by Carlo Gambino when he inherited it from Albert Anastasia after he was killed. Barbershop Quartet, if you remember, murdered him in the Barbershare most famous mob photos ever, I think. Bosley Gambino changed it to the Raven Knights, Raven Knights, like, you know. [1:26] Knights with a sword and the raven, because he loved the Edgar Allan Poe poem so much, the one called the Raven, you know, the Raven, quote, the Raven nevermore. Now, it seems kind of weird that Gambino must have been a pretty erudite, sophisticated mob boss. If you read Edgar Allan Poe and poems, you know, I remember it because it's just so immensely popular. It got to, you know, quote the Raven nevermore. It's such a great line that, you know, you've heard of it. I don't think I ever read the whole thing. It's certainly not for fun, maybe in school.

In this episode, we discuss the upcoming film ALTO KNIGHTS and the real history behind the legendary mob bosses it portrays. Frank Costello and Vito Genovese-two of the most powerful figures in organized crime- are both played by Robert De Niro. We explore their rivalry, their impact on the Mafia, and how Hollywood is bringing their story to the big screen.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, I sit down with award-winning journalist and Mafia historian Anthony DeStefano to discuss New York City's organized crime. We discuss his meticulous research on New York's most infamous mobsters and how his background in newspaper journalism has shaped his storytelling. One of the most significant topics we cover is Alto Nights, the highly anticipated Mafia film written by Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi and starring Robert De Niro in dual roles. Anthony shares how his books Top Hoodlum, which focuses on Frank Costello, and The Deadly Don: Vito Genovese Mafia Boss played a crucial role in Pileggi's research. He also gives us an inside look at the film's development, including how real-life mob history is translated to the big screen. We explore the legendary rivalry between Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, diving into their power struggles, assassination attempts, and Costello's efforts to legitimize himself while staying deeply tied to organized crime. Anthony reveals new details from unseen FBI interviews, shedding light on Costello's complex underworld dealings. We also discuss Costello's mentorship under Lucky Luciano, the infamous Manhattan meeting that escalated tensions with Genovese, and how Vincent “Chin” Gigante played an unexpected role in Costello's fate. Beyond the mobsters, we also examine the women behind the Mafia men, discussing how the personalities of Costello's and Genovese's wives influenced their rise and fall. Anthony breaks down the casting choices for Alto Nights and the creative liberties taken to heighten the drama. Finally, we reflect on why the public remains fascinated with Mafia history, from books to films to documentaries. If you love true crime, mob history, and behind-the-scenes Hollywood insights, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Click the link on Anthony DeStefano's name here to see his mob books.

A little birdie told us you were looking for a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast, so we whipped one up for you (and whistled a happy tune while we did it). We have a full slate of reviews for you this time. "Snow White" is the big movie of the week: the latest live-action reimagining of a Disney animation classic. Rachel Zegler stars as the O.G. princess, with Gal Gadot playing the Evil Queen. Lots of people are mad at this movie for a variety of ridiculous reasons. If you decide to see it for yourself, let us know what you think. It's in theaters. Also opening this week, finally, is "Magazine Dreams." This is the film that was supposed to cement Jonathan Majors' status as a major talent of our time -- then he was arrested and convicted of assault and harassment. He gives an incredible performance in a film filled with craft, if you can separate the art from the artist, and we don't blame you if you can't. It's tough. In theaters. We also catch up with the indie baseball movie "Eephus," which is a delightfully shaggy hang. Carson Lund fills the screen with eccentric characters and a rich sense of place, inspired by his baseball-obsessed youth in Nashua, NH. We both loved this movie. In limited release; find out here when it's playing near you: https://www.eephusfilm.com/ Finally, we review a movie you probably had no idea existed: "The Alto Knights," starring Robert De Niro in dual roles as New York gangsters Frank Costello and Vito Genovese. Director Barry Levinson goes through the motions in trotting out mob tropes. It's also in theaters, but you can miss this one.

In the first half, former FBI agent Mike Campi discussed his extensive career targeting organized crime, specifically the Genovese crime family in New York, the country's most secretive and powerful Mob organization. Campi's determination helped lead to the indictment of key figures within the Genovese administration. He shared the harrowing story of Michael 'Cookie' D'Urso, a Genovese associate who survived being shot in the head at a social club where his cousin was killed. Despite the dangers, D'Urso ultimately decided to cooperate with authorities, motivated by a desire for justice for his cousin's murder. Campi explained, "He wanted his story told... to discourage and talk about the hypocrisy of that life." D'Urso's cooperation with the FBI led to a significant investigation that uncovered deep connections within organized crime, including plans for violent confrontations with rival factions, a war with Albanian crime families, and the control of port unions.Another Genovese mobster, George Barone, who worked the docks and waterfronts, eventually became a cooperating witness for the government, Campi reported. He traced the evolution of organized crime from Prohibition in the 1920s through pivotal events like the Appalachian meeting of 1957, which marked a significant shift in mob dynamics. He highlighted how figures like Lucky Luciano and Vito Genovese navigated a treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals, explaining their ethos: "Your crime family is supposed to come before your blood family." Regarding Hollywood's portrayal of mobsters, he said it's often over the top, "painting them as sophisticated figures manipulating law enforcement," while the truth reveals a world steeped in betrayal and hypocrisy.

Anthony "Little Augie" Carfano was a powerful figure in New York's mafia, rising through the ranks during Prohibition and establishing himself as a key player in the Luciano crime family, running lucrative gambling operations in New York and Miami. His loyalty to Frank Costello and refusal to align with Vito Genovese during a power struggle in the late 1950s marked him as a threat. On September 25, 1959, Carfano and socialite Janet Palermo were executed in a mafia hit likely orchestrated by Genovese. Carfano's murder symbolized the end of the old guard in the mafia and the rise of a more ruthless generation of mobsters. Despite being a significant mafia hit, the case remains unsolved, and Carfano's death is remembered as a turning point in the violent evolution of organized crime.(commercial at 9:38)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Genovese crime family is one of the "Five Families" that dominate organized crime in New York City and are part of the nationwide criminal syndicate known as the American Mafia. Often considered the most powerful and secretive of the Five Families, the Genovese family has a long history dating back to the early 20th century.Origins and Leadership:Early History: The family was originally founded by Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria in the 1910s. After Masseria's death in 1931 during the Castellammarese War, control passed to Charles "Lucky" Luciano, who reorganized the American Mafia into the structure it has today, with the Genovese family becoming one of the key pillars.Vito Genovese: The family is named after Vito Genovese, who took control in the late 1950s. Under his leadership, the family expanded its influence and became involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including narcotics trafficking, extortion, loan sharking, and labor racketeering.Structure and Operations:Organizational Structure: The Genovese family operates with a hierarchical structure typical of Mafia families, with a boss at the top, followed by underbosses, capos (captains), and soldiers. Associates work for the family but are not full members.Territory and Influence: The family's operations are primarily based in New York City, but they also have significant influence in other areas, including New Jersey, Florida, and Las Vegas. They have been involved in infiltrating legitimate businesses, particularly in the construction and labor industries.Criminal Activities:Racketeering and Extortion: The Genovese family has been deeply involved in extortion and loan sharking, using violence and intimidation to collect debts and maintain control over various industries.Labor Unions: They have historically exerted control over labor unions, using their influence to manipulate contracts, embezzle funds, and control labor markets.Drug Trafficking: While historically less involved in drug trafficking compared to other families, the Genovese family has still participated in the narcotics trade, often using intermediaries to distance themselves from the operations.Decline and Current Status:Law Enforcement Pressure: Over the years, the Genovese family has been targeted by numerous law enforcement operations, leading to the arrest and conviction of many high-ranking members.

Often considered the most powerful and secretive of the Five Families, the Genovese family has a long history dating back to the early 20th century.Origins and Leadership:Early History: The family was originally founded by Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria in the 1910s. After Masseria's death in 1931 during the Castellammarese War, control passed to Charles "Lucky" Luciano, who reorganized the American Mafia into the structure it has today, with the Genovese family becoming one of the key pillars.Vito Genovese: The family is named after Vito Genovese, who took control in the late 1950s. Under his leadership, the family expanded its influence and became involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including narcotics trafficking, extortion, loan sharking, and labor racketeering.Structure and Operations:Organizational Structure: The Genovese family operates with a hierarchical structure typical of Mafia families, with a boss at the top, followed by underbosses, capos (captains), and soldiers. Associates work for the family but are not full members.Territory and Influence: The family's operations are primarily based in New York City, but they also have significant influence in other areas, including New Jersey, Florida, and Las Vegas. They have been involved in infiltrating legitimate businesses, particularly in the construction and labor industries.Criminal Activities:Racketeering and Extortion: The Genovese family has been deeply involved in extortion and loan sharking, using violence and intimidation to collect debts and maintain control over various industries.Labor Unions: They have historically exerted control over labor unions, using their influence to manipulate contracts, embezzle funds, and control labor markets.Drug Trafficking: While historically less involved in drug trafficking compared to other families, the Genovese family has still participated in the narcotics trade, often using intermediaries to distance themselves from the operations.Decline and Current Status:Law Enforcement Pressure: Over the years, the Genovese family has been targeted by numerous law enforcement operations, leading to the arrest and conviction of many high-ranking members. Despite these setbacks, the family remains influential and continues to operate.Current Leadership: The current leadership of the Genovese family is less well-known, as the family has adapted to increased law enforcement scrutiny by maintaining a lower profile and operating more discreetly.The Genovese crime family remains a powerful entity within the American Mafia, known for its secrecy and resilience despite decades of law enforcement efforts to dismantle it(commercial at 8:14)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

According to FBI files, Anthony Strollo, also known as Tony Bender, was Vito Genovese's right-hand man. Strollo was one of the great protagonists of the history of the Mafia in New York City and New Jersey in the late 1940s and early 1960s. He also pulled the strings in a lucrative drug trafficking and gambling operation for the Genovese crime family.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

RITA GIGANTE - HEALER PSYCHIC & MEDIUM DAUGHTER OF NEW YORK MAFIA BOSS VINCENT "THE CHIN" GIGANTE RITA GIGANTE LIFE WITH THE "CHIN" Rita is an acclaimed author, healer, and psychic, who connects with her “Spirit Crew” on a journey to the answers that you have been waiting for. This show is filled with love, laughter, and a provocative tell-all about how to live your life authentically and abundantly. Plus a cameo appearance, channeled by Rita, of Vincent and Olympia Gigante! ABOUT THE "CHIN" For nearly 30 years, reputed Genovese Family crime boss Vincent Gigante pretended to be mentally ill to avoid prison. And it almost worked. An old man wandering around in his pajamas, a bathrobe, and a ratty pair of house slippers muttering nonsense to nobody in particular is a fairly typical sight in New York City, but Vincent Gigante was anything but typical. Partly because he wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in an elaborate performance of insanity, Mafia boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante eluded prosecution for decades as a supposedly unstable and incompetent man. From Wikipedia Vincent Louis Gigante - March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "The Chin", was an American mobster who was boss of the Genovese crime family in New York City from 1981 to 2005. Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought in 25 matches between 1944 and 1947. He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family, forerunner of the Genovese family. Gigante was one of five brothers. Three of them, Mario, Pasquale, and Ralph, followed him into the Mafia. Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a Catholic priest.[1] Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957. In 1959, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug trafficking, and after sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, Gigante became a caporegime overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates based in Greenwich Village. Gigante quickly rose to power during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1981 he became the family's boss, while Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno served as front boss during the first half of the 1980s. He also ordered the failed murder attempt of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti in 1986. With the arrest and conviction of Gotti and various Gambino family members in 1992, Gigante was recognized as the most powerful crime boss in the United States. For about 30 years, Gigante feigned insanity in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the media, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself. He was indicted on federal racketeering charges in 1990, but was determined to be mentally unfit to stand trial. In 1997, he was tried and convicted of racketeering and conspiracy, and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Facing obstruction of justice charges in 2003, he pleaded guilty and admitted that his supposed insanity was an elaborate effort to avoid prosecution, as he was sentenced to an additional three years in prison. He died in the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners on December 19, 2005.

Entre todas las familias que llegaron a simbolizar el tenebroso mundo del crimen organizado, una de ellas se destaca sin lugar a dudas: la familia Genovese. Esta familia, conocida como el "Rolls Royce del crimen organizado" por su nivel de sofisticación, desempeñó un papel principal, no sólo al crear la estructura del crimen organizado en Estados Unidos, sino también al configurar la manera en la que la mafia utilizaba su vasto poder. Mediante imágenes históricas extraordinarias y nuevas entrevistas con expertos en la mafia, en este espacio contaremos la historia de esta familia a través, a su vez, de las historias de sus cuatro jefes más poderosos y carismáticos: Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese y Vincent "The Chin" Gigante. Estos cuatro hombres lideraron la familia Genovese desde la época de la Prohibición hasta hoy en dí­a, pero a pesar de sus raí­ces comunes, los cuatro tení­an personalidades muy diferentes, así­ como una filosofí­a muy particular sobre cómo gestionar los negocios de la familia.

Nel 1957, Vito Genovese prese il controllo della sua famiglia e tentò di assumere formalmente il controllo della Commissione. Ad Apalachin un piccolo paese nello stato di New York, lo stesso anno, furono invitati i 100 più potenti padrini mafiosi di tutti gli Stati Uniti, tanto che verrà considerato uno dei più famosi incontri di cosa nostra americana. Questo incontro fu finalizzato a risolvere i problemi della commissione ed evitare una nuova guerra tra clan.

This week we'll cover two high ranking members of the Genovese Family. Anthony Strollo also known as Tony Bender was a close friend and underboss of Vito Genovese and helped him plan the attempted assassination on Frank Costello. He eventually turned on Vito and he ended up "missing" in 1962. Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli was a former Capo and became "acting boss" when Vito Genovese went to prison. However, it is said that there was a three man ruling committee at this time. When he borrowed $4 million from Carlo Gambino and didn't pay it back, he was murdered on July 16th, 1972.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/outlaws-gunslingers/support.

Secondo i dossier dell'FBI Anthony Strollo, conosciuto anche come Tony Bender, fu il braccio destro di Vito Genovese. Strollo fu uno dei grandi protagonisti della storia della mafia a New York City e nel New Jersey tra la fine degli anni quaranta e l'inizio degli anni Sessanta. Ha anche tirato le fila in una redditizia operazione di narcotraffico e gioco d'azzardo per la famiglia criminale genovese.

In 1931, after the deaths of Masseria and Maranzano, Lucky Luciano became the boss of what would become his own crime family. Vito Genovese became his deputy and Costello became his advisers, an important function within the Mafia clan. Costello was a prominent figure in the criminal underworld, earning large sums of money by becoming the head of the gambling industry. In 1936 Lucky Luciano was arrested for exploiting and aiding and abetting prostitution and sentenced to serve a prison sentence of at least thirty years. At first he tried to run his mafia family directly from prison. He later promoted his deputy Vito Genovese to the role of boss. In 1937 Vito Genovese was suspected of a murder and therefore was forced to return to Italy and take refuge in Naples. At that point Luciano named Costello as the new boss of his crime family.

This week we cover the namesake of the Genovese Family, Vito Genovese. Starting out as an enforcer for Lucky Luciano, he eventually rose through the ranks. After Luciano was deported to Italy, Genovese and Frank Costello became embroiled into a power struggle which Vito won and the rest is history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/outlaws-gunslingers/support.

This week we cover Frank Costello who ran with Lucky Luciano during the early Mafia days. After Luciano took control of what is now the Genovese family, Frank was his Consigliere and later became the boss after Luciano was deported back to Italy. He is perhaps more famous for his feud with Vito Genovese for control of the family which he ultimately lost and lived out his life in semi-retirement. He is also said to be the inspiration behind the Don Corleone character in Godfather.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/outlaws-gunslingers/support.

Nel 1931, dopo la morte di Masseria e Maranzano, Lucky Luciano divenne il capo di quella che sarà la sua personale famiglia criminale. Vito Genovese divenne il suo vice e Costello divenne suo consigliori, una funzione importante all'interno della cosca mafiosa. Costello fu una figura di spicco nel mondo criminale, guadagnando ingenti somme di denaro diventando il responsabile del settore del gioco d'azzardo. Nel 1936 Lucky Luciano fu arrestato per sfruttamento e favoreggiamnto della prostituzione e codannato a scontare una pena detentiva di alemno trenta anni. All'inizio cercò di gestire la sua famiglia mafiosa direttamente dal carcere. In seguito promosse il suo vice Vito Genovese al ruolo di capo. Nel 1937 Vito Genovese fu sospettato di un omicidio e quindi fu costretto a ritornare in Italia e rifugiarsi a Napoli. A quel punto Luciano nominò Costello come nuovo capo della sua famiglia criminale.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/storia-della-mafia-americana--4689841/support.

I 1957 ble det arrangert et toppmøte med mafiabosser fra hele USA. En av initiativtakerne var New York-bossen Vito Genovese, som ønsket å legitimere sin nyvunne makt ved å bli utnevnt til ”boss of bosses”. Møtet ble holdt i den søvnige småbyen Apalachin, og skulle vise seg å bli et katastrofalt vendepunkt for den amerikanske mafiaen – takket være én enkelt politimann som ante ugler i mosen.

The Downfall of Don Vito Genovese

The Downfall of Don Vito Genovese

Musiche di Syon (Thomas Nicosia) Prelude in Em. Una volta ucciso Masseria, grazie al tradimento di Lucky Luciano, Maranzano fu proclamato il vincitore della Guerra castellammarese. Luciano come promesso fu ricompensato poiché nominato capo della fazione precedentemente guidata da Masseria. Famiglia mafiosa, che poi sarà conosciuta ai nostri giorni come la famiglia Genovese. Maranzano finì per comportarsi peggio di Masseria. Pretese che tutti gli pagassero una tangente per i vari racket che le famiglie svolgevano. Tra quelli che maggiormente deluse fu Lucky Luciano. Erano appena passati cinque mesi dall'uccisione di Masseria e Lucky seppe che Maranzano considerava pericolosi Lucky Luciano ed i suoi alleati non-siciliani tra i quali Vito Genovese, Joe Adonis, Frank Costello, Al Capone e Dutch Schultz. Tommy Tre Dita Brown Lucchese, amico di Luciano e doppiogiochista, venne a sapere che Maranzano aveva organizzato l'omicidio a colpi di mitra di Luciano affidandolo a Vincent “Cane Pazzo” Coll. Una volta venuto a conoscenza dei progetti omicidiari del capo dei capi ,Luciano, anche stavolta, si organizzò per colpire per primo.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/storia-della-mafia-americana--4689841/support.

Lucky Luciano, ça te dit quelque chose ? Si tu as vu la série « Boardwalk Empire », je suppose que oui. De son vrai nom Salvatore Lucania, ce gangster était connu pour être le chef suprême de la mafia américaine, ainsi que le dirigeant des 5 familles de la Costa Nostra de New York dans les années 30 à 50. Eh oui, le parrain des parrains aux États-Unis à l'époque, c'était lui. Il était celui qui a créé la Commission (une sorte de gouvernement du crime organisé américain). D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas pour rien qu'il a inspiré les personnages de Vito et Mickael Corleone dans la célèbre saga « Le Parrain ». Pour connaître son incroyable histoire, je te propose donc ce documentaire en français (2021). Comme la trilogie « Le Parrain », il sera disponible en 3 parties. Dans cette vidéo, tu auras la 1ère partie qui parlera de sa jeunesse et de son ascension dans la pègre.. Tu découvriras comment Lucky Luciano a vécu jeune, avec la formation de son gang (incluant Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, Bugsy Siegel, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia ou encore Joe Adonis), les origines de sa gigantesque fortune (trafic d'alcool, racket et usure) et sa rivalité avec les vieux Dons (Giuseppe Masseria dit « Joe The Boss » et Salvatore Maranzano). En bonus, il y aura également un passage dans lequel Al Capone est cité. (Ce reportage s'est largement inspiré du livre biographique « Testament » dans lequel Martin A. Gosch interviewe Charlie « Lucky » Luciano).

Gabriele Santoro"La scoperta di Cosa Nostra"Prefazione di Nicola Gratteri e Antonio NicasioChiareletterewww.chiarelettere.it«Le dichiarazioni del collaboratoredi giustizia Joe Valachi sonoil più importante passo in avanticompiuto dall'intelligence nellalotta contro la mafia.»Robert Kennedy, procuratore generaledegli Stati UnitiLa sfida di Robert Kennedy alla criminalità organizzata«Il saggio di Santoro è uno di quei libriche vanno letti e divulgati.»Dalla prefazione di Nicola Gratteri e Antonio Nicaso– Lei fa parte di un'organizzazione segreta che si dedicaal crimine e alla protezione dei suoi membri che perpetrano reati?– Ne ho fatto parte. – Qual è il suo nome?– Cosa nostra.Joe Valachi davanti alla Commissione McClellan, 27 settembre 1963Questa è la storia di un mafioso e di un politico: Joe Valachi, soldato nelle potenti famiglie di Cosa nostra a New York, e Robert Kennedy, che dalla fine degli anni Cinquanta al cuore dei Sessanta lavora alla realizzazione di una società più equa. Quando i loro destini si incrociano, l'America e il mondo scoprono l'esistenza di un'organizzazione criminale diffusa e articolata, sottostante a regole e codici precisi, che mina dall'interno l'economia intessendo relazioni con il potere.Dopo trent'anni di militanza, Valachi, sentitosi tradito dal boss Vito Genovese, abbatte il muro dell'omertà: è lui il primo collaboratore di giustizia a fare il nome dell'associazione mafiosa. Il suo contributo rappresenta l'apice della svolta nella conoscenza e nel contrasto al crimine organizzato impressa da Kennedy, ministro della Giustizia dal 1961 al 1964 e creatore del primo pool antimafia.Nel corso di questi quattro anni Kennedy rafforza e indirizza l'attività delle agenzie investigative, e coordina le indagini riunendo un gruppo di procuratori e inquirenti specializzati. Le sue intuizioni porranno le basi per la definizione in Italia del reato di associazione a delinquere di stampo mafioso.Dando voce ai protagonisti, grazie all'esame di numerose fonti d'archivio statunitensi e alla raccolta di testimonianze dirette, questo libro ricostruisce in modo puntuale la storia di una strategia che ha rivoluzionato la percezione della mafia e indicato i metodi per contrastarla.Gabriele Santoro (Roma 1984) è giornalista professionista dal 2010.

Part 1 of 2 of the legend that is Vito Genovese. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ian-barr9/support

I had a great conversation with Brooklyn born actor, Craig Thomas Rivela. We met up at the Bath Beach Diner in the Bath Beach section of Brooklyn to talk about things. I was a bit late to the party but I recently got turned onto the 8-part AMC Mini-Series "The Making Of The Mob: New York" from 2015 on Amazon Prime. Craig portrayed Mob boss Vito Genovese. That is the first time I've heard of him. The show was so well done that I started researching the actors. I hit him up and he was more than happy to come onto the podcast. Especially because, next week, on November 5th, his newest movie, "Bare Knuckle Brawler" gets released. The film also stars Martin Kove ("The Karate Kid I, II and III", "Rambo: First Blood Part II", "Wyatt Earp" and a ton more) and the iconic Danny Trejo. ("Machete", "Heat", "Anaconda", "Blood In, Blood Out" and a ton more as well) It turns out we have similar mutual friends and was actually in a hardcore band. Who knew. I hope you enjoy this. Thanks as always for the continued support.
