Holy shit I just caught the irony of this scene. Don Tommasino introduces his "friend from America" to Don Ciccio, who is sitting in a wheelchair (Godfather 2). Now, the actor who played Don Tommasino in GF3 is sitting in the wheelchair, being introduced to a "friend from America".
Don Ciccio is actually sitting in a summer chair, which might be the same one Michael dies in at the end of GF3. I always thought the appearance of Ze Vettori in a wheelchair was a homage to Tommasino in GF3 where he is also in a wheelchair.
Very David Chase to confound expectations with mundane reality: despite their excitement about going to the “Other Side” Tony finds the true Italian mafiosi thuggish and cold even by his standards, Paulie finds the people rude , the facilities decrepit and the food unappealing, and Christopher doesn’t see anything as he spends the whole trip wasted in the hotel with his openly junkie counterparts.
@Kourgan Yea, Tony 100% fell in love with Italy and the woman. He of course didn't see so much success with the mobster culture but clearly didn't care. Vacation withdrawal.
I wish they would have followed the guy fucking the golf club storyline. It was supposed to have a 3 episode arc until Don Vittorio beats it senseless when it insults him in front of his friends. And it wasn't his child it was carrying.
Shows you that Furio was not just an excellent soldier but had the brains to become a capo and maybe even boss someday if he survived death and avoid prison long enough.
I loved this episode so much. It just shows how much they are posers back in USA with all their ''i am italian'' shit. They finally go back to mother land only to find out they are even bigger strangers there, that they are not really real italians. Paulie going around saying ''eh, commendatori?'' and other phrases and trying to fit in and feel like an original italian, but ultimately failing at it and knowing it...It is like that with all people who's parents or grandparents came to USA from some place. I have my cousins in america, born there, and they told me that perfectly: In america, we are russians, in russia we are americans. Native to nowhere.
Great comment, direct and objective, you got the point but i would ad that because of interest (money) suddenly everybody talk about family connections and heritage, when there is no interest involved nobody gives a shit...
This episode (commendatori) is a sweet dose of karma being served up for Paulie, Paulie is always bitching about American culture steeling from Italian culture (like when he and Pussy tried to sake down the coffee shop). Its a catch 22 for Paulie, in America, he will always be consider an Italians, and in italy, they will always considered him an American.
***** he said his friend is from Australia wouldn't he have an Australian accent?? I'm Mexican but my half brother who is 100 percent Mexican was born and raised in Scotland and he has a accent from Scotland I doubt that dumb fuck knows how that shit works was just talking out his ass.
Totally agree with you. I will also say it's not just Italian-Americans with Italy. My Chinese-American friends had a heck of a cultural shock when they went to China the first time.
all cultures have the same issue..american, Canadian descendants have a longing for the motherland..even feel stronger for the motherland than many of the citizens that currently live there..but the citizens that currently live there, aren't real appreciative or really don't care about the allegiance you have for the motherland
@@forzajuve4845 No they don't. Some of them do and sometimes they end up going back, but most of them don't give a shit about "The motherland". They respect their lineage and their motherland culture, call themselves "Italian-Americans" and share small cultural nuances... Otherwise they mostly care about where they grew up, Canada, USA etc... and they're as patriotic about Canada/USA as 10+ generation Americans/Canadians.
@@donquixotedoflamingo5510 not the people I know..my buddy lives in Pennsylvania, in his 40-50's is Puerto Rican ..his blood is the color of the Puerto Rican flag...when Italy won the Euros, there was an Italian parade in the Main Street of a little town near Philadelphia ..Many of their residents are from Maida..the non Italians had no idea why the Italians were celebrating ..Most people are proud of their lineage
It's so funny that the crew in Jersey cling to their Italian roots so hard and when they finally visit the homeland they find they really don't have much in common with the natives who live there. Tony and his crew are like urbanized gangsters without manners whereas the Italians are very proper, secular and conservative. I think you could say they realized they weren't as Italian as they once thought lol
And it may just be me (I'll admit it's subtle) but it seems like Tony, Paulie, and Chris downplayed their "I'm so Italian" attitude after this episode. I remember the Columbus day episode when Silvio was ranting to Tony about how is ancestors were discriminated against when they came to the U.S. I was waiting for Tony to scream out "You think you are so Italian go to Italy and find out!". I know Tony wanted the crew out of the Columbus day fiasco to concentrate on making money and staying out of the shadows but still.
Italians are from Italy, Irish people are from Ireland, Mexicans are from Mexico etc etc etc. For an American (born in the USA) to say anything other than 'I'm an American' is farcical. My Dad's side of the family immigrated to the states from Holland around 1900 and my mom's side from Ireland a little earlier but for me to say I'm Dutch or Irish is stupid; I wouldn't want to extend myself so far as to say that I'm either one of those nationalities because if I were to ever visit those places I would find out real quick (as anybody in mine and a plethora of other American's situation) that I haven't got the foggiest idea of the culture or the language or even where my family once called home there. Tony and the gang are American and by this scene it's pretty damned obvious.
As an Italian born in Italy near Naples from an American mother from New York and an Italian father, we used to watch the Sopranos and I would understand everything, English and Neapolitan. Id get a huuuge kick out of it, it's a shame the series never really struck gold in Italy, not even in Campania or the South. I guess it's easier for Italian-Americans to appreciate it than for native Italians, which is a shame.
They'll appreciate it one day. Italy has a much deeper and richer culture than mob stuff. Going back 2000 years. Why would Italians give a crap about immigrant hustlers in the United States, when they have rome, the catholic church, the medici family and the Renaissance, Michelangelo, David, Latin etc. For Americans like us, this mob stuff is key.
"chist so propr du figli'eandrocchie" or "these are 2 real son of a bitches" but the gesture with the thumb on the cheek means that "they are cut" or know their way in life, it's a compliment during a deal. Tony of course didn't understand.
È dialetto napoletano....un po' lo capisco..però quando parlano fra di loro non capisco .. è difficile perché cambia il loro dialetto anche dalle zone dai quartieri..il napoletano delle canzoni e di certi attori film capisco , altri in Toscana s Nord no però quando parlano tra loro non capisco niente
@@SplinterAce That's why Furio annexed his territory in the NY-NJ war. You honestly think Little Carmine orehstrated it. Naples masterminded the sweep of the Sopranos crew and annexed their territory. They need the US market to get into the textile/fashion industry which the Gomorah make a lot of $$ on, and the US has lots of chinese labor and imports to make this very profitable. At the end in MADE IN AMERICA, you see how Chinese shops replaced little italy. THe Sopranos sit on hot Jersey property(port towns), if you can acquire them and take over their assets, you would have access to a profitable textile industry. Here is the kicker, if Furio does get Carmela, he could then sort of groom Meadow(law school) into being a puppet successor as she caries strong bloodlines. Analisa already shows how this possible. Plus the marriage of Meadow and patsis son also makes this very possible. Theres plenty of reasons why Italy would enter the US market via annexation of Sopranos crew. It looks like they tried to merge with them with Furio but Furio reported back that the crews in the US are weak af.. you might as well just annex them and then later create puppet states. Plus the link behind all of this is FEECH. Feech still has ties to the other side , and to get rid of tony this way, he would not disagree.
Perfect example of how the same phrase can mean different things depending on culture. In Italy, someone (in this case Tony) "breaks balls" with flattery. In America, a shinebox.
Tony knows enough Italian to understand Furio's diplomatic translation speak. It's one of the reasons Tony brought furio with him back to New Jersey. He knows Nino is being rude, but is diplomatic enough to feign ignorance of the language.
+Emp6ft10in Nah Tony had these guys by the balls that's why he was able to take furio with him. They needed his cars badly and tony was even telling them how to sell the cars too. Tony had all the cars and the guys were kind of frustrated about it that's why they were catching attitudes in italian but Furio wasn't translating the bad shit they said. pretty much the scillians were tony's bitches because he was their connection to cars... it does seem odd though that a new jersey crime family is ordering a scillian one around though. You'd expect that from one of the New York Fams not a new jersey one.
+101acidrider yeah you're right. I was reading furio's bio the other day and he's not even a made man cause he wasn't part of the mafia he was part of the cammora which is a diferent group.
+buddyjesus you can be a "made man" in the camorra too, camorra just has a different initiation ceremony, however camorra and cosa nostra collaborate since decades and the initiation ceremony of an organisation is recognised as guilty for the other, it's quite common for them to exchange men of honor, did you know cosa nostra learned to dissolve bodies in acid by the camorra for example? Neither new york or jersey can compare to the system (or camorra like you call it). the neapolitan families sell weapons to the spanish ETA, to the MRTA in south america, during the falkland war while argentina was in economcal isolation they provided the argentinian army with guns (it's proven if you don't believe it). during the jugoslavian wars serbian war criminal raznatovic went in naples personally to get guns serbia didn't get anymore because of the embargo. We're talking about an organisation that provides armies with guns, you know that episode where tony gets that military stuff from the army through the black market? in italy it's pretty much the opposite. In 1977 the italian secret services found a leopard tank in Villa Literno, in 1986 a phone call got intercepted in which the nuvoletta family was negotiating the purchase of more leopards from eastern germany. Now tell me how that kids in New york would like to compare. The casalesi clan is the strongest criminal organisation in the world, it earns around 30 BILLION euros per year and owns entire companies, in the meantime on the other side of the ocean some fat dude thinks he's mr.big because of a lousy strip club and a butcher's shop he runs.
+buddyjesus Cammora is in Naples, Cosa Nostra is Sicilian, 'Ndraghetta is based from Calabria. They each got their own ways of doing things. Modern Camorra is much more like a bunch of different clans, much more equal to each other, where Cosa Nostra is where you get your pyramid scheme structure. The family lines of Sopranos goes back to Naples clans, but the structure they follow in America is Sicilian thanks in part to the Black Hand (re Morello) and Charles Luciano who unified all the New York clans.
And all these years later is still a great TV show. Twenty two years ago when we had Sky movie subscription service hooked to a telephone line, my parents had just bought a new Philips plasma screen glass TV, cost €500 at the time. Then jumping on the couch to catch the new episodes with my dad. I was a three year old little shit when I watched it with my dad. 🤫😂. Since then my parents have since divorced, our house was reclaimed by the banks, half of my family have broken up and splintered. Relationships have been tarnished and my grandmother has passed away. But one thing still and will always remain. I get to sit on a comfy couch, turn on the 4k TV and watch episodes of sopranos and any other badass TV shows (Breaking bad, Narcos) with dad. 🤗
@@ahojahojish the "Soprano" family is officially known as the DiMeo family, but this rarely comes up in the show. the title "The Sopranos" refers to Tony's actual family rather than the crime family
I'm a Canadian who was raised Italian and that phrase bothers the crap out of me. It's CAPICOLA and it took me forever to figure out that's what gabagoo meant. Calling tomato sauce gravy is equally stupid.
@@thereccher8746 i think that after many generation in USA it is pretty normal that they fogert how to say ragù (neapolitan ragù is a tomato sauce with meat, onion and other ingredients) .
"Italian" and "Italian-American" are two different things - I mean ethnically/genetically they are the same. Italian-Americans just operate with a different dialect.
When I was stationed in Germany I'd spend weekends with an uncle. In his small town there was a Bistro ran by a man originally from Naples named Angelo. Handlebar mustache, always dressed well, always greeted me with a smile and a rough English "HOW ARRE YUUU!?" Very friendly and he had me get him American Marlboro Reds from the PX. (And conveniently acted like he 'forgot' to pay me!)
Tony said manufactured in America like it’s supposed to be a good thing. That guy laughed and rightfully so. The Mercedes ML was assembled in Tuscaloosa Alabama by hillbillies. You probably won’t find a single one on the road running anymore that’s how bad they were.
@Harj Kaur Why steal German cars in the US and transport them over when there are a lot more of them just a few hundred miles from the Italian border, where they are probably cheaper as well?
I loved staying in Rome, Italy. It is a beautiful city, I could "feel" the history...walking on the cobblestones, the architecture, conversing with the people, the climate. Of course, the Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, the Vatican, ST. Peter's Basilica, Capuchin Crypts...so much history it's different when you're there versus looking at pictures online.
Find that anywhere 3-4 generations in. A lot of "cuban" kids can understand spanish pretty well but they speak it and stick out like a sore thumb. Same goes for any ethnicity really.
My Indian cousins in California are first generation Americans (their parents were immigrants), and they barely speak a word of their language - but act 500% more Indian than me who's spent his life in India lmao
vanno bene gli scherzi, ma la camorra napoletana non è uno scherzo. Ho vissuto a Napoli, ed è uno dei posti più corrotti, e la Camorra è ovunque ed è accuratamente ritratta nella scena della cena e dopo fuori dal ristorante.

this episode primarily points out how the romanticized version of italy with 'italian-americans' today clashes loudly with the reality of the old world. watch how paulie dislikes what he sees around him no matter how hard he tries to immerse himself with the culture, yet at the end he says the trip was wonderful. i know so many people whove done this too, its kinda funny really. it also confuses the euro's too people...jus in case ur planning a trip...

Excellent catch. I'm sure it was entirely deliberate, too.
@@benoitpellet1657 What's with the quotation marks?
Don Ciccio is actually sitting in a summer chair, which might be the same one Michael dies in at the end of GF3. I always thought the appearance of Ze Vettori in a wheelchair was a homage to Tommasino in GF3 where he is also in a wheelchair.

Very David Chase to confound expectations with mundane reality: despite their excitement about going to the “Other Side” Tony finds the true Italian mafiosi thuggish and cold even by his standards, Paulie finds the people rude , the facilities decrepit and the food unappealing, and Christopher doesn’t see anything as he spends the whole trip wasted in the hotel with his openly junkie counterparts.
Nice summation
and it is reality pretty much. had a similar experience when i went
@Kourgan Paulie is not a fan of classic neapolitani cuisine
@G M all italy is except the north
@Kourgan Yea, Tony 100% fell in love with Italy and the woman. He of course didn't see so much success with the mobster culture but clearly didn't care. Vacation withdrawal.
“Tone you give this guy a gulf club he’ll probably fuck it!”. One sentence and Paulie steals the scene.

He didn't steal the scene, but he closed it well.
Your opinion just like that’s my opinion, everyone is a critic.

This was my favorite Paulie line in the entire series. The first time that I heard it, I was choking with laughter!
I like how Furio keeps the peace with his translations.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation
A good translator translates meaning … a great translator translates the point .
Paulie: "Tone, you give this guy a golf club - he'll probably try to f*ck it"
Furio : "stupida faakin game."
charles schwab over here
you gotta-a bee on your head
When they punched the the lady outside of the restaurant was freaking hilarious 😆
I wish they would have followed the guy fucking the golf club storyline. It was supposed to have a 3 episode arc until Don Vittorio beats it senseless when it insults him in front of his friends. And it wasn't his child it was carrying.
Mr. Williams isn’t much of a golfer
Furio: A good translator. But an excellent politician.
Shows you that Furio was not just an excellent soldier but had the brains to become a capo and maybe even boss someday if he survived death and avoid prison long enough.
Boy, they wheeled in ol' Don Vittorio at just the right moment. That conversation was on the verge of going south faster than Uncle Junior.
Faster than Vito*
"You're like a child" Tony says to Paulie. That's the first time he noticed Paulie is essentially a giant baby?
I loved this episode so much. It just shows how much they are posers back in USA with all their ''i am italian'' shit. They finally go back to mother land only to find out they are even bigger strangers there, that they are not really real italians. Paulie going around saying ''eh, commendatori?'' and other phrases and trying to fit in and feel like an original italian, but ultimately failing at it and knowing it...It is like that with all people who's parents or grandparents came to USA from some place. I have my cousins in america, born there, and they told me that perfectly: In america, we are russians, in russia we are americans. Native to nowhere.
True assimilation takes a few generations. Your cousins may be Russians in America, but their children won't be.
same as black americans going back to africa to find themselves.
just rich westerners
Great comment, direct and objective, you got the point but i would ad that because of interest (money) suddenly everybody talk about family connections and heritage, when there is no interest involved nobody gives a shit...
This episode (commendatori) is a sweet dose of karma being served up for Paulie, Paulie is always bitching about American culture steeling from Italian culture (like when he and Pussy tried to sake down the coffee shop).
Its a catch 22 for Paulie, in America, he will always be consider an Italians, and in italy, they will always considered him an American.
***** he said his friend is from Australia wouldn't he have an Australian accent?? I'm Mexican but my half brother who is 100 percent Mexican was born and raised in Scotland and he has a accent from Scotland I doubt that dumb fuck knows how that shit works was just talking out his ass.
Totally agree with you. I will also say it's not just Italian-Americans with Italy. My Chinese-American friends had a heck of a cultural shock when they went to China the first time.

all cultures have the same issue..american, Canadian descendants have a longing for the motherland..even feel stronger for the motherland than many of the citizens that currently live there..but the citizens that currently live there, aren't real appreciative or really don't care about the allegiance you have for the motherland
@@forzajuve4845 No they don't. Some of them do and sometimes they end up going back, but most of them don't give a shit about "The motherland". They respect their lineage and their motherland culture, call themselves "Italian-Americans" and share small cultural nuances... Otherwise they mostly care about where they grew up, Canada, USA etc... and they're as patriotic about Canada/USA as 10+ generation Americans/Canadians.

It's so funny that the crew in Jersey cling to their Italian roots so hard and when they finally visit the homeland they find they really don't have much in common with the natives who live there. Tony and his crew are like urbanized gangsters without manners whereas the Italians are very proper, secular and conservative. I think you could say they realized they weren't as Italian as they once thought lol
I disagree, Nino was not proper or gentleman-like, he was swearing and being an asshole.
Also, Tony did conduct himself with class here.
And it may just be me (I'll admit it's subtle) but it seems like Tony, Paulie, and Chris downplayed their "I'm so Italian" attitude after this episode. I remember the Columbus day episode when Silvio was ranting to Tony about how is ancestors were discriminated against when they came to the U.S. I was waiting for Tony to scream out "You think you are so Italian go to Italy and find out!". I know Tony wanted the crew out of the Columbus day fiasco to concentrate on making money and staying out of the shadows but still.
Italians are from Italy, Irish people are from Ireland, Mexicans are from Mexico etc etc etc. For an American (born in the USA) to say anything other than 'I'm an American' is farcical. My Dad's side of the family immigrated to the states from Holland around 1900 and my mom's side from Ireland a little earlier but for me to say I'm Dutch or Irish is stupid; I wouldn't want to extend myself so far as to say that I'm either one of those nationalities because if I were to ever visit those places I would find out real quick (as anybody in mine and a plethora of other American's situation) that I haven't got the foggiest idea of the culture or the language or even where my family once called home there. Tony and the gang are American and by this scene it's pretty damned obvious.

As an Italian born in Italy near Naples from an American mother from New York and an Italian father, we used to watch the Sopranos and I would understand everything, English and Neapolitan. Id get a huuuge kick out of it, it's a shame the series never really struck gold in Italy, not even in Campania or the South. I guess it's easier for Italian-Americans to appreciate it than for native Italians, which is a shame.
My family is from Salerno. Its hilarious watching "Italians" in America.
They'll appreciate it one day. Italy has a much deeper and richer culture than mob stuff. Going back 2000 years. Why would Italians give a crap about immigrant hustlers in the United States, when they have rome, the catholic church, the medici family and the Renaissance, Michelangelo, David, Latin etc.
For Americans like us, this mob stuff is key.
I don’t think you would have to be from a certain culture to appreciate the sopranos it was a masterpiece tv show
It's possible that it is also because we have our own pretty good mob series already
@@TheSamgo vero
The show should've definitely explored the sound of clinging tableware more in depth.
Americans love this eating and acting stuff.... personally I find it slobish.
"chist so propr du figli'eandrocchie" or "these are 2 real son of a bitches" but the gesture with the thumb on the cheek means that "they are cut" or know their way in life, it's a compliment during a deal.
Tony of course didn't understand.
i thought the cheek gesture would mean he is a jew lol
@@mimir4965 no, it means they are street smart
I thought it meant " I a need-a some -a tapioca pudding ohhh"
thank you for translating. I had assumed (like Tony) that they were being insulting
È dialetto napoletano....un po' lo capisco..però quando parlano fra di loro non capisco .. è difficile perché cambia il loro dialetto anche dalle zone dai quartieri..il napoletano delle canzoni e di certi attori film capisco , altri in Toscana s Nord no però quando parlano tra loro non capisco niente
Decades from now, James Gandolfini will still be the benchmark for actors.
To be fair Tony's offer was ridiculous.
Hey Luciano, you try the octopus yet?
Tony was a cheap fuck, that's why he was the only one out of the gang living in a fuckin mansion
@@SplinterAce EG PAUL Castellano
@@SplinterAce That's why Furio annexed his territory in the NY-NJ war. You honestly think Little Carmine orehstrated it. Naples masterminded the sweep of the Sopranos crew and annexed their territory.
They need the US market to get into the textile/fashion industry which the Gomorah make a lot of $$ on, and the US has lots of chinese labor and imports to make this very profitable. At the end in MADE IN AMERICA, you see how Chinese shops replaced little italy.
THe Sopranos sit on hot Jersey property(port towns), if you can acquire them and take over their assets, you would have access to a profitable textile industry.
Here is the kicker, if Furio does get Carmela, he could then sort of groom Meadow(law school) into being a puppet successor as she caries strong bloodlines. Analisa already shows how this possible.
Plus the marriage of Meadow and patsis son also makes this very possible.
Theres plenty of reasons why Italy would enter the US market via annexation of Sopranos crew. It looks like they tried to merge with them with Furio but Furio reported back that the crews in the US are weak af.. you might as well just annex them and then later create puppet states.
Plus the link behind all of this is FEECH.
Feech still has ties to the other side , and to get rid of tony this way, he would not disagree.
Lol. Always in business mode trying to fuck the customer. Even if the customer is another mafioso
Perfect example of how the same phrase can mean different things depending on culture. In Italy, someone (in this case Tony) "breaks balls" with flattery. In America, a shinebox.
Ho! HO!
"I'm tawkin heeere!"
Snarky, the Cat ...and he’s looking at himself in the plexiglass.

i love how Tony almost catches an attitude with the Italians at dinner as if they wouldn't make him disappear
This series changed for me after I finally realized that it’s actually a comedy
Tony knows enough Italian to understand Furio's diplomatic translation speak. It's one of the reasons Tony brought furio with him back to New Jersey. He knows Nino is being rude, but is diplomatic enough to feign ignorance of the language.
2:30 - It's a good thing the Don showed up. The real Tony Soprano was about to come out and what a dangerous place for that to happen.
+Emp6ft10in Nah Tony had these guys by the balls that's why he was able to take furio with him. They needed his cars badly and tony was even telling them how to sell the cars too. Tony had all the cars and the guys were kind of frustrated about it that's why they were catching attitudes in italian but Furio wasn't translating the bad shit they said. pretty much the scillians were tony's bitches because he was their connection to cars... it does seem odd though that a new jersey crime family is ordering a scillian one around though. You'd expect that from one of the New York Fams not a new jersey one.
+buddyjesus they were not sicilians they were from naples
+101acidrider yeah you're right. I was reading furio's bio the other day and he's not even a made man cause he wasn't part of the mafia he was part of the cammora which is a diferent group.
+buddyjesus you can be a "made man" in the camorra too, camorra just has a different initiation ceremony, however camorra and cosa nostra collaborate since decades and the initiation ceremony of an organisation is recognised as guilty for the other, it's quite common for them to exchange men of honor, did you know cosa nostra learned to dissolve bodies in acid by the camorra for example? Neither new york or jersey can compare to the system (or camorra like you call it). the neapolitan families sell weapons to the spanish ETA, to the MRTA in south america, during the falkland war while argentina was in economcal isolation they provided the argentinian army with guns (it's proven if you don't believe it). during the jugoslavian wars serbian war criminal raznatovic went in naples personally to get guns serbia didn't get anymore because of the embargo. We're talking about an organisation that provides armies with guns, you know that episode where tony gets that military stuff from the army through the black market? in italy it's pretty much the opposite. In 1977 the italian secret services found a leopard tank in Villa Literno, in 1986 a phone call got intercepted in which the nuvoletta family was negotiating the purchase of more leopards from eastern germany. Now tell me how that kids in New york would like to compare. The casalesi clan is the strongest criminal organisation in the world, it earns around 30 BILLION euros per year and owns entire companies, in the meantime on the other side of the ocean some fat dude thinks he's mr.big because of a lousy strip club and a butcher's shop he runs.
+buddyjesus Cammora is in Naples, Cosa Nostra is Sicilian, 'Ndraghetta is based from Calabria. They each got their own ways of doing things. Modern Camorra is much more like a bunch of different clans, much more equal to each other, where Cosa Nostra is where you get your pyramid scheme structure. The family lines of Sopranos goes back to Naples clans, but the structure they follow in America is Sicilian thanks in part to the Black Hand (re Morello) and Charles Luciano who unified all the New York clans.
