In August 1987, the criminal trial was submitted to the jury with the two remaining defendants: Jello Biafra and Michael Bonanno ( former Alternative Tentacles label manager ).

In 1999, Italian-American mafia Bonanno family member, Mickey Zaffarano, was overheard talking about the profits of the pornography trade that both families could profit from.

For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano, a well-known 12th-century resident artist of Pisa, famous for his bronze casting, particularly in the Pisa Duomo.

Joseph Charles Bonanno, Sr. ( January 18, 1905 – May 11, 2002 ) was a Sicilian-born American mafioso who became the boss of the Bonanno crime family.

Bonanno himself claimed years later that he fled because he was ardently anti-Fascist.

Almost from the beginning, Bonanno was recognized by his accomplices in Brooklyn as a man with superior organizational skills and quick instincts.

Magaddino's son was Peter Magaddino, a boyhood friend of Bonanno from his student days in Palermo.

Although Bonanno was more steeped in the old-school traditions of " honor ," " tradition ," " respect " and " dignity " than others of his generation, he saw the need to modernize and joined forces with the Young Turks.

Bonanno was awarded most of Maranzano's crime family.

The purpose of this organization was to prevent another bloodletting like the Castellammarese War, and according to Bonanno, it succeeded.

Bonanno was nicknamed " Joe Bananas ," a name he despised ; his family was sometimes called " the Bananas family " after his nickname.

By the time Bonanno became a US citizen in 1945, he was a multi-millionaire.

The only encounter Bonanno had with the law during these years was when a clothing factory that he partly owned was charged with violating the federal minimum wage and hour law.

The company was fined $ 50 ; Bonanno was only a shareholder in the company and was not fined.

Government officials later arrested Bonanno, claiming he had lied on his citizenship application by concealing a criminal conviction ; the charge was dismissed in court.

Despite this, Bonanno was all but unknown to the general public until the disastrous Apalachin Conference of 1957.

In 1931, two months after Maranzano was murdered, Bonanno was married to Fay Labruzzo.

They had three children: Salvatore " Bill " Bonanno, born 1932 ; Catherine, born 1934 ; and Joseph Charles Jr., born 1945.

* Frank Coppa ( born 1941 ), gangster in the Bonanno crime family.

* Salvatore Montagna ( born 1971 ) as of 2006, the reputed acting boss of the Bonanno crime family

Salvatore " Good Looking Sal " Vitale ( born September 22, 1947 Maspeth, Queens ) was a New York City caterer and former underboss of the Bonanno crime family of La Cosa Nostra before becoming a government informant .< ref >

Alfredo Maria Bonanno ( born 1937 in Catania ) is a main theorist of contemporary insurrectionary anarchism who wrote essays such as Armed Joy ( for which he was imprisoned for 18 months by the Italian government ), The Anarchist Tension and others.

* James Galante ( born 1953 ), a member of the Bonanno crime family

Galante was dining with Leonard Coppola, a Bonanno capo, and restaurant owner / cousin Giuseppe Turano, a Bonanno soldier.

As the war progressed, this group came to include future mob leaders such as Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia, Joe Adonis, Joe Bonanno, Carlo Gambino, Joe Profaci, Tommy Gagliano, and Tommy Lucchese.

Block in Space, Time and Organized Crime, Dorothy Gallagher in All the Right Enemies, and Nunzio Pernicone in Carlo Tresca: Portrait of A Rebel all confirm that the most likely scenario is that Tresca was killed by Carmine Galante on the order of Frank Garofalo, underboss to Joseph Bonanno, Fascist sympathizer and close friend to Generoso Pope.

Despite their penchant for recklessness, the group was tolerated as they were able to earn millions for the families, specifically the Bonanno and Gambino families, as both Carmine Galante and Carlo Gambino used zips for narcotics and murder.

Among these were Carlo Gambino and Joseph Bonanno, who would go on to become powerful Mafia bosses in New York City.

Magliocco was soon drawn into a plot with Bonanno crime family boss Joseph Bonanno to murder Lucchese crime family boss Tommy Lucchese and Gambino crime family boss, Carlo Gambino.

Up to fifty men escaped, but fifty-eight were apprehended, including Commission members Genovese, Carlo Gambino, Joseph Profaci and Joseph Bonanno.

The names of four of those bosses, Tommy Lucchese, Vito Genovese, Carlo Gambino, and Joe Bonanno, were used to name their respective families.

In 1963, Magliocco and Bonanno boss Joseph Bonanno hatched an audacious plan to murder bosses Carlo Gambino, Tommy Lucchese, Stefano Magaddino and Frank DeSimone and take over the Mafia Commission.

Bonanno slipped back into the United States in 1924 by stowing away on a Cuban fishing boat bound for Tampa.

For instance, Magaddino was incensed that Bonanno was moving in on Toronto, long considered part of the Buffalo family's territory.

For instance, it is not likely that Bonanno would have been walking the streets of New York unguarded, knowing that his fellow bosses had put a price on his head.

However, they stipulated that if Bonanno broke his promise, he would be killed on the spot.

In April 1983, Joseph Bonanno and his son, Bill Bonanno appeared on the CBS News TV program 60 Minutes to be interviewed by correspondent Mike Wallace.

Bonanno, the last remaining Mafia don who survived Italian fascism, Mustache Petes, and his own bloody war, died on May 11, 2002 of heart failure at the age of 97.

The title character of Vito Corleone in Mario Puzo's The Godfather was considered by many to be largely based on Bonanno, although the character is in many ways a composite of several figures.

After Joe Bonanno was forced into retirement by The Commission, Vito Genovese died of a heart attack, and Tommy Lucchese died of a brain tumor, Gambino's status and power on The Commission was elevated almost immediately.

Gambino was the one who would give the order to have Bonanno killed, but took pity on him and decided to give Bonanno one last chance to retire while he had his life.

George Bonanno, a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, conducted more than two decades of scientific studies on grief and trauma, which have been published in several papers in the most respected peer-reviewed journals in the field of psychology, such as Psychological Science and The Journal of Abnormal Psychology.

In 1962, Joseph " Joe Bananas " Bonanno, the head of the Bonanno crime family and Joseph Magliocco, the new boss of the Profaci crime family, conspired to kill Gambino and his allies on the Commission.

As pressure increased on the Bonanno family, its leadership decided to kill Farace.

Profaci was allied with Bonanno and Anastasia on the Commission against Genovese, Costello, and Thomas Lucchese.

Roselli allegedly told Bonanno that he had fired a shot from a storm drain located on Elm Street in Dallas.

Indelicato could count on the support of at least four Bonanno capos.
