My grandfather was from sicily and worked 50 years on the railroad, double shifts during ww2 while my dad his son fought in the war so most Itallian people. Who came over were honest hard working family people
Respects to your gramps… 🫡 has he ever mention the involvements of unions?
Only a handful of Italians were gangsters but sadly they ruined the reputations of the honest people.
My mom was a nurse at Mercy Hospital in Chicago. One time when I was a kid, she cried when they had a Chicago crime story on TV and it sort of glorified Nitti. But my mom knew his wife and he had beaten her to a pulp. Nitti was horrible. My folks are now forever across the street at Mary, Queen of Heaven.
I grew up in Chicago ,I went to High School with Frank Nitti lll a no good heroin peddler , That didn't care about getting kid's hooked up on Dope back in the 1970's Horrible people
It just cracks me up how these thugs spend their lives robbing and killing people and get a decent burial with giant crosses and biblical passages carved on their tomb stones.
But after years mercy hospital changed their name
Nitti hated Americans. No glory should every have come his way.
My grandmother met. Al Capone when he was on the lam . He stood up and said.’’’ Hi,I’m Al Capone’’ my Grandmother said.’’ Yes, nice to meet you,I’,m the Queen of Sheba’’ it really was Al Capone….
That's Al Capone's second grave. I know where his first one is in Mt. Olivet cemetery. They moved him. So they say.
I worked for someone who was best friends with dennis farina back in 1982 i got to meet and talk to him and i made him a pizza and he even gave me an autographed hundred dollar bill i was working in a pizza place that my boss owned in streamwood Illinois and Dennis was there got to talk to him all evening. So cool
I was there doing Mob videos. FANTASTIC! God Bless
I never missed an episode of Unsolved Mysteries, with Robert Stack or Dennis Farina.
Me either! Great show!
Mount Carmel is West of Chicago on Roosevelt Road in Hillside Illinois . And Right across the street is Queen of Haven
Excellent video tour of the famous Mt Carmel Cemetary in Chicago, many notorious graves
Your video is in west of the city , in Hillside ,IL..I worked across the street on Harrison st ..at Hillside school witch is hunted ..by a little girl late at night. Who went to school there in the 1940s.
Mount Carmel is west of Chicago past oak park cicero Berwyn in hillside my family is buried there
I liked Dennis Farina. I really like the show “Crime Story”. Unfortunately, it wasn’t on very long.
Mobster's final resting place. Beautiful grounds. Well done.
Thank you! It is a pretty awesome place to visit!
I have family buried in Mt Carmel and most are across the street in queen of heaven where I am going!
Johnny torio, otherwise known as papa johnny got very lucky to survive that shooting. He was smart in giving it to Capone.
Even though it’s frustrating that the Mobsters were glamorized but Hollywood & media, when they were shallow ruthless killers and thugs, it’s intriguing to hear their stories. Bloody and cold hearted as they were.
I completely agree
My uncle Johnny played basketball with dennis farina in high school, and mr. Farina came to my uncles funeral , a stand up guy
Although Dennis farina was not a gangster!! I would have thought that his family would have given him a better grave marker! Something that suits his stature in life!!
All quite interesting. I learned a lot about this in the late 1960s & into the 1970s. Dion O'Banion's name briefly resurfaced in 1976 when his widow died and the papers did a small article on him. Other widows of gangsters also outlived their husbands by decades. Jack McGurn's lady love Louise Rolfe outlived him by 59 years.
Fascinating video thank you
this cemetery is west of Chicago in Hillside ill. not south. but nice video.Pete Genna baptized my father Tony and he gave tony a gold pocket watch. which my nephew has that watch today.
Great Video....Thanks ❤
Love it keep them coming
One of my neighbors was from Chicago when I was a kid in Pittsburgh. He always was really careful not to get photographed. Years later I found out he was mobster who literally walked into a murder in Chicago. Not always mobster/criminals were killers, but many did avoid having to kill to another human being. They might hurt someone to collect a debt (some debtors were scum bags and avoided paying their debts). He was a good neighbor and a nice man, so I never had issues with him when I mowed his lawn or shoveled his driveway. He did show up in a book about the Al Capone mob in Chicago and references to a gang land killing as a witness. Turns out he was probably a witness and an original FBI informant afterwards. He may have been a member of the original US Marshall's Witness Program. I learned a lot about the Chicago Mob from him (my dad was Federal Cop).
Great video! Having grown up in Glendale Heights, I knew of the cemetery but not who was buried there. My wife’s maternal grandfather rests there today.
This is where my aunt and uncle are laid to rest and also where my folks have plots
My grandmother and others in my family are buried there by him
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Thank you Mark!
Dennis Farina was a great actor and sexy as hell.
This is where my grandma and other family are buried ❤
. Enjoyed the video, I knew some of the history, growing up in the Chicago area. Good to learn a little more. As others have noted the cemetery is more west-southwest of the Loop (downtown Chicago) not so much South - Wolf Road and Roosevelt (12th St.). I'd go by it all the time when I lived just south of there and would go to Hillside Shopping Center, or eventually jump on Eisenhower Expressway into the city.
Very interesting Thank you i am from the UK
Great video. Very informative.
Thank you!
Another excellent video, thank you! There are so many beautiful markers there, some are just stunning. I very much enjoyed this & can't wait for the next one.
Way too many to cover in one video. I will be back 😀
Please do. @@FreyzelProductions
Good video Great info of those Chicago mobsters and how they met there end's.
Al Capone was a real nice guy
South of Chicago? West of Chicago! Across the street from my HS, Proviso West!
Thank you for interesting video 😊
Thanks for watching 😁
Mt. Carmel is located in Hillside, illinois. West of Chicago.
This one so amazing like to see more of classic and retro famous people graves
We just saw John Dillinger's grave over the weekend it was super cool!
Great video! Very informative. I had never heard these stories. Thanks for taking us along and telling their stories! Hope you are having a great week! God bless!
Thanks Cathy, I appreciate that. Have a great night 😀
I went to Cathedral High School which is adjacent to Holy Name Cathedral. The story goes Weiss and Murray were fatally wounded by this first burst. William O'Brien was hit four times and staggered into a nearby stairwell. At the initial sound of gunfire, a panicked Sam Pellar drew his .38 and fired instinctively towards the shots, unintentionally hitting Weiss as he collapsed onto the sidewalk. Pellar and Jacobs, both wounded, staggered back the way they had come. Bullets followed them the whole way and some chipped the cornerstone of the Holy Name Cathedral directly across the street. Just a piece of history for your video
Thank you! I was actually just looking at the history of Holy Name Cathedral. I’m hoping to visit and look for those chips very soon!
Good Vlog....But l say BADDA BING BADDA BOOM! FUHGEDDABOUTIT!!🕵️♂️🕵️♀️⚰🔫
😂 😂
That Al Capone stone is solid cement and rebar that is 6 to 8 feet deep. People try to dig it up a few times every year.
One day I would love to visit the old Mob always Interested me
Learned new things...yet again. Enjoyed this sooooo much. Very glad i didnt live in Chicago back when this was all going on. With my luck, i would be in an expensive car i had borrowed and had all the windows and tires shot out while just trying to run to the store real quick. I just loved this one. Crazy people.
Thanks. This was a fun one 😀
They are trying to buy their way Into heaven
I rather fancied living in those times as a gangsters Moll.
Very cool.
Cool video
Been there many times
Thanks for this video enjoyed it as always
Thanks Cosmos! I appreciate that!
Liked and subscribed. Great video
Thank you very much! 😀
As did I
When there I heard of a woman who visiting Mt Carmel and seeing all the gangsters was reported to have said, "When Jesus comes again there will be hell to pay here."
Mount Carmel isn't south of Chicago. It's straight west from the Chicago Loop.
I live near that cemetery. I knew Capone was buried there but I had no idea about the other people there.
What happened to Al Capone‘s son?
I grew up in Cicero!
NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE 😁😀✌️ Thanks For Sharing 🙂✌️
Thanks Janice, welcome to the channel 😀
You're Welcome 😁 And Thank You!😀✌️
I agree with you sir, yes, Al Capone was a criminal, we all know this, but defacing his tombstone, is still wrong.
My family’s buried there. Some weekends there are so many partying by Capones grave it’s the disgraceful
@@maryroberts2099 Partying at Al Capone's grave? I am not familiar with this, what is the purpose, please?
My grandfather was a retired federal correctional officer. He knew Al Capone. He told me that once Al Capone was in USP Atlanta, he was a crybaby and a punk. The other inmates couldn't stand him and he had to be placed in protective custody.
That is an amazing link to history. Thanks for sharing that!
Likely your grandpa was the punk, like most C.O.s.
Just like one famous graveyard in Mexico I also watch on UA-cam enemies in narco business who were killing each other are buried in the same cemetery many of them have a beautiful mousoleum
wow i had to stop and look at the big stone next to genna..my last name is sexton...thats crazy
That’s so infuriating that people deface or better yet take souvenirs from the graves of these historic people😢
The day of resurrection sure will be interesting considering the rival factions of the North and South sides are within shooting distance of each other. Jesus may as well get the popcorn ready to enjoy and referee this one. Anyway, based in England, UK, we do not get to sample such delights as Mount Carmel cemetery is immaculately clean and I marvel at the design of those mausoleums. I bet those Genna benches have not been sat on since the 1930s, as they and Mr Weiss sure got a lavish sendoff. Now can you imagine if Eliot Ness was buried in their midst? Many thanks for posting. Much appreciated.
Their spirits won't be armed or dangerous. That's all behind them now. God is merciful.
@@johnsantiago4099
Revelation 22:14-15 John 5:28-29 } The Scriptures do not lie.
@@standingvertical3048 truth is truth. But maybe they did give their life and soul to God before their remains entered mount Carmel. Mercy is also mercy.
@@johnsantiago4099
John, they were Liars and Murderers, and the Word of Father God* does not change for anyone.
John 5:28-29 } These Scriptures are more proof.
@@johnsantiago4099
John, a man cannot go through life being a Liar and a Murderer and at the end of his life ask for Mercy and expect to receive Mercy. Here is even more proof. Revelation 22:14-15 }
They for the most part died violently. Sad. Only one died of a heart attack. Having to look over your shoulder is a rough way to get by. God is merciful.
My godfather who raised me was an undertaker and he used to call mount Carmel " candy hill "
👍👍
Their bodies are there ,but their souls are in Hell !
Not Dennis!
I was just there a few months ago...
The Jenna's look so.peaceful
Politicians are your real gangster's.
Went to high school across the street ..
Please do more. Where is Sam Defasio?
Interesting that these people were enemies in life are buried close together...a real barn burner if all these people saw each other again...😮
I would say so!
Most of all My Family is Buried there my Grand parent's aunts uncles. Cousin's and My Sister is Buried there My Family has Been Going there For Many year's way Before I was Born My Great Grand mother is there Also that is Going 100's of years
It's west, not south of Chicago.
I've taken this tour personally. Interesting if you know the history.
I’m Italian. My mother’s maiden name was Savine, true name was Savino when my grandfather left Italy. Anyway, when my grandfather married my grandmother I heard 2 bits of information: 1. I had an Uncle Tony. Although he was poor he usually returned home with “something nice” for his wife. 2. My grandmother said she heard things about the mafia but she consciously stayed out of it. 3. I checked and Savine/Savino is a big name in the mafia. We come from Sicily. 4. (I saw this as disrespectful) a person told me I can get involved bc of my origins (Savine/Savino). I punched the guy and told him to mind his own business. But what do you guys think? Does looking into seeing if my family was involved with mafia sound likely or looking into it a worthwhile pursuit? I’m not gonna join. I’m just interested. Any help, silent responses are welcomed ty
Be proud to be italian. Greeting from ITALY
Dennis farina played billy bates In Goodfellas too
Aye I live here
Made many videos from there. Almost got locked in. HA! God Bless
😂 it’s a very interesting place!
Wondering if they have enough room for the rest of the mafia, all the ones who are still alive today.. We all know that there are some left, just don’t have a number of how many..
I like to know where I can find Nitti and O'Banans and Weiss grave I know about the Same G. And Capones they are buried in with my dad's family in year I like to know cause I'm going visit my family so Id like too see there thank you
If you go to Findagrave.com and type in the names, there will be a link where it shows the cemetery that says “show map”. That will give you gps coordinates to locate them. Nitti is close to the entrance to the left. O’Banion and Weiss are both towards the middle.
It is a beautiful manicured cemetery. Interesting that all the markers and mausoleums are of light grey stone. The majority of these men lived very short lives. I wonder if their crimes were worth that.
The Thornton limestone quarry supplied Chicago with much of its building material. I-80 crosses the deep quarry in the south Chicago suburb of Thornton.
@@michaelplanchunas3693 Thanks Michael. You answered that for me. Beautiful granite.
@@michaelplanchunas3693 Thanks Michael.
First off its in Hillside , Illinois.. My Hometown. And it's west of Chicago not south... Not exactly sure why you just won't say Hillside instead of out side Chicago.
Ironically all the criminals are in Hollywood and entertainment now
And some in Washington DC.
Their big monuments do not impress God.
King Henry VIII planned an awesome monument with an altar where daily requiem mass would be said for the repose of his soul. It never happened and he is in a very humble and shared small vault beneath the choir in St. George's chapel in Windsor which is not open to the public.
Did deon supply his own wreath??????
Good videos but put a face to the name
My moms side of the family is all there
Wait a minute,
That's a Catholic cemetery. How is Frank Nitti buried there? He kilt himself.
Maybe they just buried him without rites of burial with the church.
I looked it up the coroner said he was temporarily insane and drunk so he wasn't in his right mind at the time. So he was allowed to be buried there
@@gloriavaldez1560 Coroner got paid.
Happens all the time all it takes is a generous donation 💰
As if being rubbed out in ChiCongo isn’t bad enough, being interred in that cesspool
is the ultimate insult 🤮
I know he spent time at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia but I was unaware of any time spent at Alcatraz.
He wasnt there long :)
I saw the cell that he was in in Alcatraz during a tour.
Learn how to say these people's name properly. And why is Dennis Farina in this zero mob connection aside for playing a 2 bit gangster in movies. I like him
✊🏻🪦
Wasn't Weiss's real surname Wojokowski?
Yes I think so.
finally all the rats are under ground,,,,
Carmel - derived from the Hebrew kerem (“vineyard” or “orchard”) not the candy. CAR MELL
The democrats took over for the outfits in Chicago these days. Amazing how politicians and criminals always seem to live symbioticly to one another.
Imagine how awful Chicago would be if MAGA Republicans were in charge. God help us!
@@DB-drdan oh gee. We'd have law and order. That would be just terrible.
Yep. Without crooked mayor Big Bill Thompson, Capone likely wouldn't have been able to do what he did and got away with.
Why do we romanticize these killers and criminals? They were not heros.
Where in this video does he romanticize them?
Good or bad they deserve better
