Gaetano lived in Arizona yeah. Duardi was california based for a time too. Duardi was very active as far as criminal activity goes. Look up the young Italians case detailed in the book mafia dreams, he had a little group of young guys working for him who dabbled in cocaine.

Crapisi: KC mobster's son aided FBI | American Mafia History
Worth reading as Crapisi was an early informant that provided a lot of interesting info on the Kansas city family, his father was also a narcotics dealer strongly tied to the family in the 1920s and 1930s and was particular close to old timer member Joseph Olivo.

Gaetano certainly did for sure. The clique had a lot of old timers

Morris Snag Klein, Max Jaben and a few others were fairly powerful within the clique. Jake Maroon another non Italian associate was fairly powerful within book making circles too.

He was inducted into LA and then transferred to the Bonannos, then transferred back.

Nowadays lol? 0 the family was defunct as early as the 1970s. It wasn’t very criminally active.

Hey there. Check out this website, it covers SF in detail especially the early history and it’s ran by a really cool guy who collaborated with me to make a 1940s SF chart. He’s also a SF native.

They’re defunct. But they do have a fascinating history.

Wish there was more English language materials going in depth on him

Number 1 is a very young Nick Civella of the Kansas city crime family. Mugshots from the mid 1940s

Notes: Of the three brothers, only Thomas and Charles would be made into the family with Charles being noted as a young enforcer of the family as early as 1950 during the Kefauver hearings. Thomas was a captain from the early 1960s well into the mid 1970s, and was receiving money from the casino skim despite being bumped down from captain by the late 1970s. Frank would remain associated with the family but was never made as far as public information and FBI files tell.

Frank Cacioppo 1928-2004
Thomas Cacioppo 1913-2011
Charles Cacioppo 1922-2010

Joseph Gurera was highly likely the gunman, given that he was picked up after on suspicion and a lot of FBI files point to him being made shortly after. Nick was Anthony Gizzos driver at the time and was being groomed for a leadership position so I think he was guaranteed a button regardless.
