The Birthplace of COSA NOSTRA | Sit Down with Michael Franzese

I don’t know if you know the history of how the mob got involved in Atlantic City. In this episode, I will take you back to 1929 when the La Cosa Nostra was born in Atlantic City. This will be a very interesting and important piece of Mob history in the country so do not miss out.

Boardwalk Empire was so great. They made each year a season (1920, 1921, etc.). It drove me nuts that they wrapped the series up after 1924, skipping 1925 and going straight to 1931. They bypassed the whole 1929 Atlantic City Conference!! WHY!?! I guess they just didn't want to do the show that long... but they totally could have. I loved every second of it.

Good sitdown regarding the birthplace of Cosa nostra. The mafia is an even bigger mystery. Depending on the source, it dates as far back as the 900s (10th century).

Good Evening Michael,

All due respect, Don Masseria and Don Maranzano, were alive and kicking in 1929. Luciano, was Boss's lieutant at the time. The meeting's purpose was, those new-school backstabbs, to find a way to make a move against the 2 Dons (and the whole Old-Guard). That's the

God Bless you and your family,

If I'd have known you were talking in a church hall in Glasgow, I would have went. I didn't want to go to a hotel. I'm from Glasgow. Nice of you to come here, I'm sure your efforts to help people here are appreciated.

I always liked that you're Napolitano. My best friend was born and raised and still lives in Calabria. Rispetto Mr Franzese

I just saw a piece on BBC News about the upcoming general election in Italy. They did a segment on Sicily talking to people about their voting choices. When they went into the interior and some of the suburbs they showed how deep poverty is still in large parts of Sicily, some of the poorest areas in all of Europe. The poverty & lack of economy was really acute, and its easy to see how cosa nostra grew from this society, where government and aristocrats had forsaken them to poverty, and power structures for protection had to arise from somewhere, and also easy to see why people emigrated in such large numbers from Sicily, carrying with them the culture and structures of the old land, that transplanted into American cities, and grew into the American mafia that became so powerful, and carried with it the imagination, through cinema and legend, across the English speaking world and beyond

[patriciathomas]

Wow! Very interesting. I love this story and your other stories. You're very inspirational Mr. Franzese

[jimmyknight]

Michael, great video! I enjoy the way you speak, the way you listen, you are a very intelligent guy.

[MichaelJeffers]

HBO should've made 2 spinoff series' about Capone and Lucky. Both were the best portrayals I've ever seen.

Hi Michael! I hope that all is well. I enjoyed this history lesson. I am fascinated that the conference participants created a type of price control board for alcohol. Wheat boards, dairy boards are used in Canada to control market fluctuations for these types of farm-produced goods. Economic and market theories work for everyone😊 thanks!

[BigFiggs]
