Talk:Nicholas Morello

Untitled
Massively incorrect. Makes far too many assumptions. Use with caution. It's just a repetition of many old Mafia myths. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.29.89 (talk • contribs)

Wildly, wildly inaccurate
... as one might expect of any article based on Nash's "work".

The Morello/Terranova family emigrated to the US in 1892, all right, but could not have joined any gang led by "Lupo the Wolf" since Ignatio Lupo did not emigrate to the US until 1899.

Antonio Morello, a Brooklyn padrone of the 1890s, does not seem to have been related to the Morello/Terranova clan.

Nicolo Morello/Terranova (he used both names, and the latter is probably correct) died on 7 September 1916, not 6 November, shot six times on Johnson Street, Brooklyn.

 * Mr. Dash,
 * I've clarified several misleading statements, specifically the brothers joining Saietta's organization in the late-1890s to early 1900s. I'll try to include other sources from Carl Sifakis and others as soon as they become available. MadMax 17:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
