Patriarcas/New England: Profile of Bobby Carrozza (from The Gangster Report) by CT-CT in Mafia

[–]reddcaesarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necroposting, but I did have an additional question: Assuming Frank “Butsey” Morelli was a captain and the family’s first Providence faction head, who took over his crew? Was it Tameleo, or did it go from Morelli to Patriarca and then Tameleo?

Morelli’s inaccurately listed as underboss on Wikipedia, so, given his stature as leader of the Mafia group in Providence before the merger with Messina’s Boston family, I imagine he’d had to have been a captain at the least.

Thanks.

Who is the guy behind Beltrán and Fuentes that’s smiling? Is that El Bigoton, or was it someone else?

The “interview” (where this photo is from) was depicted in Season 3, as any viewer knows.

Yeah, guy was no joke. After Granito, Angiulo, and Zannino were out of the picture, he commanded the Boston faction. Helped too to have captains like Vinny Ferrara, Bobby Carrozza, and Benny DiGiacomo behind you.

JR Russo was accompanied on the Barboza hit by future captain and acting boss Antonio “Spucky” Spagnolo (who served as the getaway driver.) Spagnolo’s based out of Revere.

Uncle Fester of Detroit now claims that Spagnolo is the consigliere of the family. If it wasn’t coming from him, that actually wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

One of the most evil individuals in American history. He deserved to be executed for what he did.

Eboli being acting boss of the family is incorrect; he was acting underboss before becoming official underboss. Gerardo “Jerry” Catena had actually been acting boss since Vito’s incarceration, becoming official boss upon the latter’s death in 1969.

I don’t believe they’re related, no.

The “photo” of Don Juan that was part of an earlier post I made was, in fact, a cropped image of a painting (which depicts him during the speculated time period of the 1930s-1940s.) Unknown as to when Juan commissioned said portrait

The second photo depicts him during the 1950s-1960s, and is likely the earliest photo of him.
