The underboss of the new England mafia
Great Doc!! Anything Boston always touches my heart. Even the Standells who are from L.A couldn't help but gift us with the iconic " I love that Dirty Water, Boston is my home" song in 1965. The song still captures its essence in sporting events to this very day 58 years later. I love Boston.
I grew up in Providence. Great documentary. There were 3 hardware stores in my neighborhood. None if them sold deadbolt locks. Didn't need em . You felt safe back then
My favorite memory from the one year I lived in mass…… a guy is behind at 230 am and I’m at a red light. He beeps the horn and yells “go!” I looked back at him and said “it’s a red light!”…. He responded “yeah but nobody’s coming’!” 😂
Watched Both parts 1 and 2 Fantastic work I was Raised in Providence from the late 50's My fathers Buisiness was on federal hill The things I seen and heard im taking to the Grave,,and This work was on Point Thank you
Well done Sir. I can remember passing by the Coin O Matic in my mother's car throughout my childhood and occasionally seeing Raymond and the Fellas sitting out front having a smoke. I thought it was so cool. My Grandfather told me that his mother was friends with Raymond's mother, and she used to babysit Raymond when he was a young boy. I have no reason to doubt my grandfather's stories as he and Raymond remained friends throughout their entire. lives. I was sixteen years old when Raymond passed away and can still remember feeling like a legend was gone. The King of the Hill had passed, and Providence will never be the same. Now here we are nearly forty years later and instead of gentlemen in suites tending to business amongst themselves, we have street gangs with guns as we turn into Mexico.
As a Bostonian born in 1954 I can tell you I grew up, between TV/Movies and La Cosa Nostra, with a morbid fear of crime syndicates in general and the Mafia in particular.
Great work! My family is from Boston, name is Guiliano from Palermo and I think Salvatore Guiliano is a Great Great Uncle whom a book was written about called ‘The Sicilian.’ It is fascinating to watch your video and learn what happened back then. Subscribed.
My father knew Patriarca, as he grew up in the Washington Park area. I live in downtown providence and am shocked at these amazing pictures and videos you’ve found of the city!
#1 Its Worcester, #2 Its New Bedford Massachusetts #3 Its North Providence #4 Its just "Wacked"...Very nicely done, its good to learn about people who were around before I was born and where they came from, we never ever were afraid to go anywhere back in those days! Those were the good old days!
Lol imagine me and my partner, neither of us Italian, one from North Providence, and the other from New Bedford... ...we met on the internet and live in Ohio lmao..
I remember when Anguilo’s house was burned down in Nahant (an island community next to Lynn, MA. Which is considered part of the North Shore of Massachusetts. You can see Boston right across
Gerry Anguilo’s sons own a tow truck company that services the North Shore. I grew up in Nahant too- it’s an island 11 miles north of Boston connected to Lynn by a causeway. There’s one way in- one way out- 4,000 people all of whom know each other and the cops follow you around if they don’t recognize your car. No one locks their doors or even bothers to take their keys out of their cars. It’s a perfect place for a legitimate Italian Businessman to live and do his laundering for mean laundry.
My married Sicilian great-grandparents immigrated from Sciacca, Sicily separately in 1903 and 1905. They raised their 10 children, including my grandmother, in the North End of Boston.
One of the best documentary’s i’ve seen on youtube in a while..! Keep it up! Make a video about the irish mob maybe ppl like Mickey “The Gentlemen Gangster” Spaillane
Just found your channel last night great content i live on cape cod mass great to here about the mafia from Boston and Rhode Island keep up the great work just got a new sub
As a Bostonian who was born in a Worcester hospital, we pronounce it Wis-tah if you have a Boston accent…or Wis-ter if not. Idk when ppl butcher it’s pronunciation it makes me giggle 🤭 This in its entirety was wonderfully made. Thank you for such depth & detail that if others *do* put out, they rarely do so with such accuracy & imagery. You put a LOT of time & hard work into this, I can tell. Much appreciated! My son attends the John McCormack middle school. Southie is still very much Irish just like Northie is still very much Italian. Many things have changed, but there are people and families from both sides that make sure some things stay the same and/or their legacies live on to this day. Definitely going to be sharing this with some of my mother’s friends (who’re in their mid to late 70’s). I’m sure I’ll have them reminiscing and I LOVE the elder storytellers, I could sit and listen to them for hours! Thank you for this! What a treasure.
Are you really from Boston? Because we call it Woo-stah or wuh-stah not wistah. And no one has ever called it Northie. It’s the North End. Then there’s the South End, and then Southie, which are 2 different things but that’s another story, however, there is no Northie.
@@Keeponwatchin No, I just lied about it. 🙄 Yes. I am. But was born at the old Saint V’s which has since been torn down. No, *most* people don’t use the term Northie, but it does, in fact, exist & people do say it. But *no1* ever calls Worcester ‘Woo-stah’. Ever. The Woo, yes. But not ‘Woo-stah’ or whatever you said. But go off I guess, Paul.
@@Keeponwatchin thanks for saving me the time. You’re right on the money, my friend. No Northie. And no WIS-tah. Wuh-stah is how Bostonians pronounce it.
Like puss but with a "w" then add the sta. Wussta. Now let's try and explain Leicester. Lol 😂 it's Less-sta. Nevermind just stay in new yak you will live longer. 😅 Definitely no Northie. Anyone want to explain wicked pissah? 😂
It’s about time someone talks about Boston Italian Mafia story? I’m from New York City. And I know all about NYC Philly Chicago etc etc families?? But not to much about Boston underworld
I'd say the grimmest times in the Boston crime world were the Irish gang wars. So many killed, so many brazen murders, it rivals anything you ever read about Chicago.
I grew up in Boston. We were associated with the Irish Mafia. I didn't understand what that meant until I was grown and left. My 4 uncles were all bookies and ran numbers in Southie. This was in the 60s. We were always getting gifts from my uncles and the explaination was always..it fell off a truck going by. They were very aware of this history and told me all the stories, pointed out all the characters and told me when and where not to go at specific times. I grew up at Suffolk Downs the horse track and can still start betting with $20 and come out with $500. This was a fascinating review of the past I'm sure my uncles were a part.
@@christinecarr7524 Yup and everyone kept their mouths shut. No one ever told on the people who were trying to make a buck. It was a real tight community back then.
Those 6 guys who Barboza testified against all should have been released immediately. The fact that two of them died in prison 20 years later over his BS testimony is criminal in it of itself.
@@chrisrose7353 at least he got a settlement out of it. Dude deserved to be boss. Kept his mouth shut for 30 years after being wrongfully accused. Not a fuckin peep!
@@questionmark1152 Larry Zannino was my mothers 2nd cousin. Not like I ever met him or was close to him or anything lol. I actually just found that out recently.
Ray is a family member of mine. I remember my grandfather telling me stories. Mind you my dad was 6'6" and 350 lbs. lol. So he some debt collecting. RIP grandpa
At the height of their power, when the Boston & Providence factions were tight, The Patriarca Family could've pretty easily rivaled The Colombo Family, especially considering the Colombos were ALWAYS having an internal war of some sort... IMO, because of their connections to NY - both The Five Families AND Buffalo, NY State's Magaddino Family - they may've even rivaled The Bonannos at one point! Don Raymond LS Patriarca Sr. & Don Vito Rizzuto (I know! I know! He's a Bonanno, "officially🙄") actually did grow their respective borgatas on a 5 Families, Detroit Partnership, &/or Chicago Outfit level.
********** @michaelbrown5050 ********** Hey my name is Michael Brown as well!!! I wonder how many of us in solely Massachusetts let alone all of New England!!! Where are you from?

Thats why it interests me so much. Hope to hear a comment back ! If not Much Respect either wayt good sir!!
Great depth, great pacing, this is awesome man good job. My only constructive criticism would be that the volume needs compressing. Some of the music files are really loud then followed up quiet dialog. You’re on to something big with this channel
Barbosa was born in New Bedord not Bedford which is north of boston middlesex county. New Bedford is south of boston near fall river in bristol county. Large Portuguese community which is what Barbosa was. He worked for the Italian mob as a hit man.
The Joe Barboza story is so insane. I always wondered why no one had made a movie about his life. The FBI really dropped the ball on that one too. You gotta ask yourself- do we really want Barboza walking the street? Is his cooperation really that important? Guy was a complete lunatic.
Because it makes the FBI look bad. There's no bigger mob movie miss than the whole Greg Scarpa/Lin DeVecchio story. The FBI literally conducted the Persico/Orena Columbo war in the 90s. The details of the story are insane.
There's no north Boston. It's the north end. Steven the rifleman Flemmi was never in the Patriarca family nor in any cosa nostra family for that matter. Flemmi was groomed by Wimpy Bennett, a heavyweight from Roxbury , and eventually Flemmi ended up joining the Winter Hill gang . For some reason Flemmi always had a deep personal hatred for the cosa nostra . He hated CN so much that he and his Winter Hill partner whitey Bulger both dedicated their miserable scummy existences destroying it by being lifetime fbi informants .
Why wouldn't they hate cosa nostra? Lowlife scummy bums each and every one of them. Hardly people to look up to now are they unless you are the same lowlife scummy kinda person.
Flemmi was proposed at one point. He just figured he had a better chance at making money under Whitey than he did in LCN. Which was absolutely true. Winter Hill in the 80’s and 90’s was essentially just 4 ppl with a long list of associates loosely involved from time to time.
Sorry. the Marfeo I was referring to was Rudolph. The rest about the tailor shop is correct. That was the hit you mention towards the end of the video.
How in the hell did he and many others get off so lightly every time. You kill one person these days you’re going to prison forever. These guys were only getting 10 years or less for murder
It's not, Worssester. It's pronounced, "Wister." That the first sign of an out of towner. They ask for directions to Worssester and end up getting robbed. Not that those things happen in Massachusetts, nah. Crime free, where everyone holds hand over their morning commutes. Edit: Apart from the pronunciations great video. Not a lot about Killa-Prov family
Met one of the Patriarca’s while working in a grocery store about six years ago. She had to be around 70-80 years old and I just remember how she was so sweet and kind to me. She quietly told me about a lot of things after coming in for a few months. Just some things she experienced as a child; how she’d sit on Ray’s lap as they’d play cards in their connected underground basements and everyone would treat her with the upmost respect. How he’d always not allow her downstairs or have her go upstairs if he knew things were going to get feisty. I hope she’s still doing well, her positivity was contagious. It’s always been odd to me how you really hear nothing about them especially in mob related show, movies, documentaries and more when they had a massive impact on everything.
When I was younger you couldn't get out off your car unless you had a suit on ,someone opened a females door ,federal hill was elite at one time now Its not impressive
Im from Providence, lived here my whole lifel i can't tell you why, but this city and state was a whole lot better with Raymond alive . People respected each other. Maybe it was the times, but i don't think so. You'd have to live here to understand.
The city is not better off with murderers, thieves, extortionists, loan sharks, and drug dealers running rampant. The mafia brain washing you’re parroting is a control mechanism propagated by criminals and idiots.
Barboza was from NEW BEDFORD not Bedford. Everything else is on point. Didn’t know he was the first person ever in wit sec. Definitely need a movie about the New England Mafia.
Ive lived in Rhode Island my whole life. the weathermans last name is Patriarca, went to school with a kid with that last name. My grandfather told stories of seeing some mobsters in providence and other cities in newengland nothing ever crazy substantial but im glad they infiltrated near where i grew up.
Patriacha was born in Worcester. It is pronounced "Wooster" and not Warsester. We folks from the Dirty Water take pride in how our locale names are pronounced.
Full ost: ua-cam.com/play/PLyGaZ7bo22w7gzHeqRIJ992AaIzqtvj-y.html&si=Pmr07cSQs1aA_4VT
Finally an in depth documentary on the Patriarca’s. All that’s available are old news stories really. New England never gets enough shine.
That really just means they are more successful and off the radar.
Shine west haven ct had lots of mobbed up guys most of them were gambinos or Columbo family ct had shine Bridgeport had Genevesee soldiers
Yeah it's crazy how there's almost nothing on these guys out there
@edwardshighonfishinglife thats great but we have our own family in rhode island and boston and no one ever talks about them outside of here

Please shut up oh my God you people are annoying
Absolutely. I remember 70s well. We didn't have dead bolts either. Worcester ma
In from providence you sre right
Joe Barboza was NOT born in Bedford MA, a wealthy suburb north of Boston. He was from New Bedford, a south coast former whaling port.
Bedford and New Bedford are opposites.
New Behj.
@@muster_markonly appropriate way !
Yea New Bedford is a shit hole to the max. Lotta Portuguese there too like he was
Makes no difference where Barbour comes from he was a piece of shi.t and a rat
My favorite memory from the one year I lived in mass…… a guy is behind at 230 am and I’m at a red light. He beeps the horn and yells “go!” I looked back at him and said “it’s a red light!”…. He responded “yeah but nobody’s coming’!” 😂
I mean he may have a point 😂
That's just how we drive at that time of night. If no one is around just run the light.
Well, why would you sit at a light at 2:30 am unless you're drunk, dirty....
As a Bostonian I have to say....that's a very Boston response.
Ain’t nothing change
Watched Both parts 1 and 2 Fantastic work I was Raised in Providence from the late 50's My fathers Buisiness was on federal hill The things I seen and heard im taking to the Grave,,and This work was on Point Thank you
Barboza was Portuguese , not Italian, therefore he could never be a made Mafia member but only an associate!
*IT’S* *WOOSTAH*

“Warr-sess-turrr. “
That’s just an embarrassing lack of effort.
Grew up in Providence and did time in the RI prison for armed robbery where I worked with my cellie who's dad was Patriarca's driver
Was his last name Oliver by any chance????
Excellent documentary A+
You nailed this.
“Patriarca was born in Wor-sesster” lol great documentary but the narrator is obviously not from MA , it’s pronounced “Wuss-ter”
Or "Wuss-Ta" with the Boston accent.
Wistah
Also 3/4 of the names are pronounced wrong. He does get almost all the stories 80% rite which is crazy all the info he knows. Still Great work.
Im always looking for info on the Patriarca fam. Good stuff brother.
Thank you for the great content. Salute's from Los Angeles CA

03:45 OMG seriously, they even wrote the note with an Italian accent? "You know where to puta da money" 🤣🤣🤣
That was great very good job I’m from providence and haven’t heard much detail on the crime of the area online anyway lol
Amazing video, i hope part 2 is mixed with this and is about winterhill taking over
Bro, you have got to post the track listings for these episodes!

There's no north Boston. It's the north end.
Steven the rifleman Flemmi was never in the Patriarca family nor in any cosa nostra family for that matter. Flemmi was groomed by Wimpy Bennett, a heavyweight from Roxbury , and eventually Flemmi ended up joining the Winter Hill gang . For some reason Flemmi always had a deep personal hatred for the cosa nostra . He hated CN so much that he and his Winter Hill partner whitey Bulger both dedicated their miserable scummy existences destroying it by being lifetime fbi informants .
Yeah the story with Flemmi Bulger and Connolly is crazy. I talk about it in depth in part two though.
He was a Rat for Feds maybe they did not trust him.
Why wouldn't they hate cosa nostra? Lowlife scummy bums each and every one of them. Hardly people to look up to now are they unless you are the same lowlife scummy kinda person.
Flemmi was proposed at one point. He just figured he had a better chance at making money under Whitey than he did in LCN. Which was absolutely true. Winter Hill in the 80’s and 90’s was essentially just 4 ppl with a long list of associates loosely involved from time to time.
Patriarca was a mentor to the Winter Hill game
Sorry. the Marfeo I was referring to was Rudolph. The rest about the tailor shop is correct. That was the hit you mention towards the end of the video.

I really appreciate how you got Con Funk Shun for the soundtrack. That’s dope
How in the hell did he and many others get off so lightly every time. You kill one person these days you’re going to prison forever. These guys were only getting 10 years or less for murder
It's not, Worssester. It's pronounced, "Wister." That the first sign of an out of towner. They ask for directions to Worssester and end up getting robbed. Not that those things happen in Massachusetts, nah. Crime free, where everyone holds hand over their morning commutes. Edit: Apart from the pronunciations great video. Not a lot about Killa-Prov family
Catch me at the Palladium, how bout dat.
A.I. text to voice always gets it wrong
More like Wusster
@bcpme8637
No...no..no, it's "Woostah".
@@bcpme8637You nailed it
Great video
I can guarantee you that Barbosa is from New Bedford and not Bedford.. New Bedford is loaded with the Portuguese and Azorean
Met one of the Patriarca’s while working in a grocery store about six years ago. She had to be around 70-80 years old and I just remember how she was so sweet and kind to me. She quietly told me about a lot of things after coming in for a few months. Just some things she experienced as a child; how she’d sit on Ray’s lap as they’d play cards in their connected underground basements and everyone would treat her with the upmost respect. How he’d always not allow her downstairs or have her go upstairs if he knew things were going to get feisty. I hope she’s still doing well, her positivity was contagious.
It’s always been odd to me how you really hear nothing about them especially in mob related show, movies, documentaries and more when they had a massive impact on everything.
The movie the vault is fairly new.
Great content, narration is a bit quiet though, everything else is great.
My guy said “warchester” 😂😂… It’s pronounced Wooosta in these parts guy. Lol
Only if you are from Bastan.
@@Matlacha_Painter no, it’s pronounced Woosta! You can’t just change the pronunciation of a whole city because you’re an out of Towner.
When I was younger you couldn't get out off your car unless you had a suit on ,someone opened a females door ,federal hill was elite at one time now Its not impressive
Federal Hill is dangerous now. There was a murder right there on the street 2 weeks ago. No reason to go there now.
1982 restuarant machine gun hit across the street from the Rhode Island Statehouse. Nobody saw anything.
Love this
I love the content. But plz turn down the audio on the music. Blow my ears out. Your voice is soft then Bam chaper 2 there goes my ear.❤
Nice job.
Im from Providence, lived here my whole lifel i can't tell you why, but this city and state was a whole lot better with Raymond alive . People respected each other. Maybe it was the times, but i don't think so. You'd have to live here to understand.
The city is not better off with murderers, thieves, extortionists, loan sharks, and drug dealers running rampant. The mafia brain washing you’re parroting is a control mechanism propagated by criminals and idiots.
Barboza was from NEW BEDFORD not Bedford. Everything else is on point. Didn’t know he was the first person ever in wit sec. Definitely need a movie about the New England Mafia.
Yessiir finally
I remember the Patiarca family hearing about them. I remember he sold AMI juke boxes
Ive lived in Rhode Island my whole life. the weathermans last name is Patriarca, went to school with a kid with that last name. My grandfather told stories of seeing some mobsters in providence and other cities in newengland nothing ever crazy substantial but im glad they infiltrated near where i grew up.
My favourite UA-camr you are the best at what u do bro keep them coming
Glad to hear it dude 👍
actually narrator is annoying AF
Uncle Ray was always my favorite
I like the doo wop songs in the 60s chapter :)
Wassup Ray Ray? 😊 We never had coffee.
Unfortunately. 💀
Patriacha was born in Worcester. It is pronounced "Wooster" and not Warsester. We folks from the Dirty Water take pride in how our locale names are pronounced.
I am glad you said it
Right and it's Patriarca not what you said
@@tommyigoe3952 My most sincere apologies. I actually penned it. I did not utter a word.
No worries man :)@@richardbwanika2166
His son Junior had a meeting to make some new members of the Mafia of course the feds were at that meeting. Game over for the family.
Larry Zannino, aka (Larry Biaone/Zannino) was a well known & respected man in Boston until his' death in prison in 96'.
