Go to Jefferson Parish, they all migrated there. Lopinto, Fortunato, Impastato, Giorlando, Marcello, Cannizzaro...they are all over the place

As I said they have migrated to Gov’t work where they are engaged in helping the gov’t work better for all of us.

There’s no such thing as the mafia.

The book is called Vendetta and it is about the lynching of 4 Sicilians purported to be mafioso in in 1890 for the murder of police superintendent David Hennessey who was Irish. New Orleans actually had the oldest Mafia organization in the US going back to the 1870's ( Provenzano, Matrenga and Macheca) Yeah they did not like each other
Interesting side to this, the police superintendent's grand daughter married a Sicilian doctor about 60 years later

The problem is that there is no real "historical record" on the subject. The details are anecdotal and unverifiable. We know some basic things about the Marcello parts of the story, but, we are talking about a history that goes back to before 1900.
We are talking about a history whose most significant event was the misguided 1890 Assassination of NOLA Police Chief Hennessey, who was a very good police chief, based on what we know.
Who Killed the Chief?

I thought more than 4 were lynched. Maybe like 11? Or maybe you're saying of the 11, only 4 were Sicilian. I know a bunch, if not all, of those lychee had nothing to do with Hennessy's murder.
Who killa da chief?!?

It would make some logical sense to conclude that most of the old family names that were once involved in Sicilian organized criminal activities over the centuries of NOLA history have gone completely "legit" in the restaurant business or other like businesses.
The "old way" of organized crime was to take over legit restaurants and bankrupt them gradually while the "mob" siphons the money and assets away from the legit business. The descendants of these "old mob" types are much more likely to inherit or purchase a restaurant or like business and run it as a legit business and become prosperous in that manner.
Construction contracting is another kind of business that could have evolved from an "old mob" shady business activity into a very prosperous and completely legit modern business.
In other words, good old Legit American Capitalism has proven to be a better way to build generational wealth and prosperity for your family than the "old mob" methods!
God Bless America!

Pretty sure that I'm 100% correct on the fact the Joe Marcello is Carlos son and at least up until recently(not sure) was the owner of Felix at Iberville and Bourbon either Joe Carlos son or Joe Carlos brother ....thinking they were partners

What do you think the mafia is still doing in 2017? Breaking legs in the quarter for extortion pay?

August 6, 1981
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5— A Federal grand jury indicted Carlos Marcello of New Orleans, a 71-year-old reputed figure in organized crime, and two other men today on charges that they tried to bribe a Federal judge with money or a valuable art object.
Attorney General William French Smith said the three-count indictment was unsealed today in Federal District Court in Los Angeles.
The Government accused Mr. Marcello and Samuel O. Sciortino, 62, of Rancho Mirage, Calif., and Philip Rizzuto, 42, of New Orleans, of conspiring from October 1979 to February 1980 to bribe Harry Pregerson, then a Federal district judge.
