Toto Riina VS John Gotti | Sicily VS New York This one is quite outlandish but somehow comes from a source with direct links to the Mafia in New York and Sicily. With close ties to Toto Riina’s Corleonesi crime family as well as the Lucchese and Gambino crime family. Rosario Naimo is a member of the Sicilian Mafia, also known as Saro or Saruzzo. In his testimony he would state that the Sicilian Godfather, Toto Riina, gave him direct orders to “take out” John Gotti. However Naimo argued that “taking out” an American made man would cause “a big mess”.
Gotti was Big here in the States all have to do is mention last name people say "Oh yh I've heard of Gotti", But Toto was in a Whole different League dude was Blowing up Judges & Known as "The Beast" Due to his Vicious Nature, John Gotti wouldn't dream of whacking a Judge, Curse one out sure but to Order, a Hit, JG wouldn't have been able to say a Prayer in Peace without the US Goverment breathing down his Neck, If there was Full Fledge war I wouldn't want to Be on the Bad side of Riina dude whacked Bosses Left & right like it was a Sport.
@@Frosty98206I mean Pablo Escobar would blow up planes. But he was scared to death of prison in America. The entire fight with the government was literally just to get extradition off the table. He was taking out colonels and judges and politicians and journalist and everybody lol. Of course Gotti wasn’t going to do something nobody could protect him from. Racketeering yeah you can probably work out a deal have one of those easier prison conditions. Take out a judge? Oh you’re going to experience real prison because people are going to look into it to make sure you’re serving real time so no other people get wise ideas it’s open season.
I agree. All of the hard work and dedication really shows. Its evolution is carefully laid out and explained, including the cast of key figures. We appreciate this. I have long wanted to understand this country and these people. Thank you. 🎉
BONUS 📖 | Who are the “Corleonesi mafia”? When I began researching this topic, I was quite blown away by how deep this rabbit hole actually goes. The Corleonesi were a faction within the Sicilian Mafia, originating from the town of Corleone in Sicily. Yes, it is a real town and people have been living there for hundreds of years. They became notorious for their savagery. Led by bosses like Luciano Leggio, Salvatore "Totò" Riina, and Bernardo Provenzano, they rose to power in the 1970s and 1980s by eliminating rivals and exerting control over the Mafia. Their reign was marked by extreme violence, including numerous murders of police, judges, and politicians who opposed them.
Its a good series, a lot of the series is very different from the trut though, and a lot of characters are made up and the time line is all messed up, but still its most definitely worth seeing
BONUS 📖| The “Real” town of corleone In The Godfather films, all the scenes set in “Corleone” are actually 100% authentic, they were all filmed in the Sicilian countryside. But here's where it gets a bit more interesting. Although they were filmed in Sicily, none of these scenes were actually filmed in the real Corleone. They were filmed on the other side of Sicily. Corleone is a small town in Sicily, Italy, located about 60 kilometers south of Palermo. Known for its ancient origins and agricultural significance, the town produces olive oil, wine, and citrus fruits. Corleone is historically rich, featuring landmarks like the Church of San Martino and the Saracen Tower. However, it is infamously linked to the Mafia, particularly the Corleonesi faction, and gained global notoriety through Mario Puzo's novel "The Godfather" and its film adaptations. In recent years, Corleone has been working to overcome its Mafia-related reputation by promoting its cultural heritage and anti-Mafia initiatives, aiming to highlight the town's historical and natural beauty. Regardless of where the filming took place, actually filming in Sicily, gave the films such an authentic feel and thanks to director Francis Coppola and his team, they masterfully managed to capture the beauty and complexity of such a scenic and historic land.
Very interesting documentary. I am an Inzerillo, born and bred in New York . . . it is uncertain whether we are related to Salvatore Inzerillo. Though you only spent a short few minutes in mentioning his involvement, it was still interesting to hear about his demise, in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for enlightening us to this tragic period in this and the homeland (Sicily)
🍋🌹 The DARK History of the Sicilian Mafia FINALLY Unveiled... 🍿 𝑭𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝑫𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐰: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-la1KQGHb7K4.html
Urgh, i turned on captions cause my ol eyes can't read the text 😭... And all it says is: speaking Italian!!! Im the type that likes every single detailed thing!!!
I feel as if the Sicilian mafia seems to have had a strong influence on the American mafias upbringing. From the beginning of American crime to the structure of the criminal empire. Without the Sicilian mafia , there wouldn’t be the crime families we seen in our history.
Sicilian mafia is a different animal to the Italian Americans, yes the original American bosses where Italian but just seem to be less dangerous as stupid as that sounds 😂
Really like how you use some clips from mob movies to tell the story, part of the fun is naming which ones. Good doc with a lot of info as I've never heard of this Don. Bravo.
I would love to see one about the chicago outfit in their height from al capone to paul ricca and tony accardo either that or one about one of the most important inspirations for vito corleone which is russel bufflino head of the bufflino family
Kennedys and Mafia. Joseph Kennedy Sr & Costello in prohibition. Then winning chicago for jfk. Rfk then going after the mob with hoffa. Then the disappearances of all of them Giancana, kennedys, hoffa
Love the end where ambition is being analyzed. Its true, success gets to our head and thats where things will turn to the worst. Proven over and over again throughout history. Regardless of culture.
Buon giorno. Salvatore Toto Riina. Il vero Padrino di Corleone Sicilia. I Miei Bisnonni Ernesto e Adalina Frehlini sono nato a Corleone. Possano Riposa a Pace. Grazie per questo interessante molto video. Dio Benedica. Siciliano e orgaglioso.
Yeah I remembered the first time that I learned of the Navarro and Falcone hits. Time Life book on the Mafia, I shuddered at the thought of a roadside bomb...uuuuggghh🤔😔😔
Great documentary…reminds me of the book I read when i was younger called Octopus…question….what is the name of the song that plays throughout the documentary?
You know, Vito did not hurt his friends or business associates. For example, the undertaker was asked to do a favor with his professional skill that a friend would do. The Hollywood Producer could have negotiated 10 years of labor calm and neither Vito nor Hagen would have been upset. He could have made a lot of money, had a fantastic film, and have had a Godfather to break legs for him. Many different ways for his friends to profit...
One of my Lifetime best of friends and co-workers and which I met with during my time living in NY. Was a USA Borne and her Lovely parent's were from there and they would oftentimes be inviting me to, joining them for lunch or dinner. OMG, her mother was an Amazing woman and at my requests of her would cook for me the most delicious of Lambchops 🥩 😅🎉😂❤ *LaManca...😊
Ciao, never understood why not do good things take care of like how family friends treat each other. Get so much more done. Piazza descendant Build shit that lasts, quality pridelike good food,wines,oils etc... just saying
@@Cosminel90 Yes I know he died in jail but thankyou for sharing the info my friend. Also, to me, it seemed like he just handed the keys to his successor just like Riina gave him. What do you think? Edit: Are you from Sicily? If you are, then can you please tell me more about Matteo Messina.
Basic observation and it might sound silly but his name is the exact palindrome almost of one of the people behind the music for the godfather, Nino Rota
Question for YOU... And Be Honest... If You were a "Mob Boss" How long would You survive?? Would you be a don Vito or are you closer to Michael or even Sonny? But what I'm even more curious about is seeing which of you are actually Fredo’s! Let's find out ⬇ bit.ly/MafiaDonQuiz
6:40 not true. God said revenge is mine, therefore retribution is not the work of a villain. Also people who do not promise revenge, simply encourage evil to act - evil is what evil does. Without the balance imposed by a few courageous people that evil fear, there would be a much worse world. I know, it's not what Jesus preached, but I believe what Jesus preaches is to win over friends even from amongst enemies given after all, God did not forgive Satan and Hell exists. Aiding the enemy is a sin, and taking revenge can be as little as non-cooperation. Judge your deeds well else they will judge you
The problem is, alleged the English adjective of "Godfather", inmediately sunk the figure of a person in a shade of glamourous epic, meanwhile this man and his stooges had nothing of that; he was a very stupid, cruel, fierce, ignorant man, and ruthless, yes. An almost illiterate man who whiped out the borgoueis old Cosa Nostra with an unseen level of violence never saw before, till his madness blow it on his face. The Mafia we experimented in Italy in last 40 years had nothing of epical spirit of Coppola's Movies and Mario Puzo's book (that I love it, as piece of arts);
Thanks . Good work on the history of this guy. I hope you also have ? Or will also do a few on the the other Italian based clans in Italy. Like the Camorra Mafia. That's a clan almost if not as old as the Sicilian mob too. Anyway again as a new viewer good stuff Grazie
A fascinating and factual summary on a subject that intrigues people, not really understanding the impact on normal or good. It will always be and has been. Much appreciated your research and presentation. Thanks...much more appreciated is your summary at the end...especially here in ATX, America.
Corleone got it's name when Richard Lionheart, Coeur de Leon, passed through on the Crusades to keep passage safe for pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land
