He was Mafia royalty. Hooked up with Lucky and Meyer he was part of the tight group of young guns who killed Masseria and Marranzano and took over the Mafia. Underboss to Luck Luciano he was not a ladies man. He was one ugly fuck.
His first wife died of tuberculosis and he had his eyes on a new one. Anna Petillo who was already married. Who was also his cousin. So he had her husband strangled. Married the grieving or not so grieving widow. That was the way of the Mob. They got what they wanted.
How does this tie into the present day? Why the Real Housewives of New Jersey one of Spinelli's favorite shows.
The original show starred the two Manzo sisters who were reportedly mobbed up. They were two sisters who married two brothers. The brothers were partners in the Brownstone Catering hall in Jersey which is a big money maker and probably a big laundromat for the boys. Their dad ended up in a trunk of a car.
The two sisters were Caroline and Dina Manzo. Dina was the hot one. She divorced her husband Tommy Manzo and quit the show after the first season. I guess the heat was two much for her. She came back a year later but only lasted a year. She doesn't talk to her sister. It seems we know the reason why.
You see a mob button man broke into her house and beat the shit out of her and her fiance. The guy got a half price wedding at the Brownstone for doing it. Only thing is somebody dropped a dime and now they are indicted.
Just like Don Vito. Only he didn't have the balls to finish the job and the rep to shut everybody up.
Art imitates life. It just that things are not the way it used to be. Even in the Mob.
