Carmine Persico and The Colombo Wars | FULL DOCUMENTARY

NSTLKIA presents 'Street War', our newest documentary on the history of the Colombo family's wars and the violent rise of their infamous boss, Carmine Persico.

Persico would conquer the organization following the second war, when acting boss Joe Yacovelli would flee the city during an era of turmoil. Although he would retain his choke-hold over Brooklyn for four decades, his reign would be tainted with the blood of civilians and gangsters alike...

*The history channel "Here's 8 seasons of made up nonsense about ancient aliens"
*The Discovery channel "Here's made up documentaries on mermaids and sea monsters"

*Random guy on Youtube "Here's a multi part series of hour long documentaries about the US Mafia families/groups from its begging to present day ...for free"

I’m telling all of you this channel got me hooked by watching his videos on companies and retailers who went out of business and he did such an amazing job than one day boom he pivots to my favorite genre ! I love this channel !

The Columbos were the smallest family but probably the most violent and, in my opinion the most interesting of all.

And Nicky Black wasn’t shot 8 times with a shotgun in his Camaro. He was shot once behind the ear with a shotgun by Larry Mazza in his SUV. And Scarpa didn’t pour whiskey into his eye wound! He had a scotch while talking to his probation officer about why his ankle bracelet alarm was going off. And his son ran off once he saw his dad get shot so they didn’t drive home together. LaRosa said he just got in the car and drove off by himself after getting shot in the eye. I Al have know Larry Mazza and have heard most of these stories from him

Good documentary but there's one very important guy left out. Salvatore "Sally D" D'Ambrisio. He was in Harry Fontana's crew and so was his brother, Funzi. as well as Carmine Persico. D'Ambrosio was, according to Sonny Franzese, "the toughest motherfucker on the streets' D'Ambrosio had a good number of notches on his belt so to speak. It was D'Ambrosio who was strangling Larry Gallo when the patrolman came in. Officer Melvin Blei was waiting out in the patrol car and when the guys came running out to get in their vehicle, Blei tried to stop them and D'Ambrosio shot him in the face. D'Ambrosio murdered Joe "Jelly" Gioelli on D'Ambrosio's yacht weeks earlier and they dismembered Joe Jelly and tossed him in the ocean. D'Ambrosio's also the one who smacked John "Johnny Green" Scimone and gave him the swollen eye seen @ 8:18. D'Ambrosio had been a boxer and was good with his hands. He went to prison for 6-7 years chiefly for trying to bribe cops into dropping charges against his girlfriend, Palma Vitale. At some point shortly after he got out of prison in early 1968, he and Persico went to Joe Colombo and requested that D'Ambrosio be made a captain. He never got his wish however. Something went wrong and he disappeared along with another Colombo in late November/early December 1969. In the FBI docs on Greg Scarpa working with them from that time period, Scarpa told the FBI that the word on D'Ambrosio is that he was killed because he had murdered 2 top Bonanno members, Frank "Frankie T" Mari and Mike Adamo along with 3-4 other unsanctioned murders including civilians. Don't know if what Scarpa told the FBI was true or not but something went wrong along the way. I only mention all this because D'Ambrosio was from what I've gathered, the biggest hitter in that family as well as an earner and I find it fascinating he is so seldom mentioned. He was 8 years older than Persico but he and Persico were very tight. Both D'Ambrosio brothers were highly respected members of the Colombos.

Persico was probably the least mobster looking mobster…I bet you more than a few people underestimated him and then ended up in a ditch somewhere or never heard from again

[norfolkronin]

Bloody good channel. The stock footage is worth a watch alone. Bless and Takecare from U.K.

[royceaguilar]

These is the best documentaries on the mafia. Love the timeline input! I know some of the stories and ‘facts’ are disputed…but this is perfect

where are the music credits..i want to know what song is playing at 34:09

[NestorCaster]

I truly appreciate the song/music choices as time stamps for each new decade the documentary covered. Class-A🫡👏🏾👌🏾

[TheReelMcCoySC]

Why anyone watches “The History Channel, Discovery, Animal Planet, and there made up crap is beyond me, you got channels like this putting out quality documentaries

[rodluv]

[Starts slow clap] dang. This deserves to be a movie. Awesome video. Just found the channel. I must watch more.

[TheCaliking]

Gallo and Persico weren’t the shooters on the Anastasia hit. The Gambino family had two of their own members do the hit on their own boss. This misconception that Gallo and Persico were involved needs to be put to bed.

[mikete]

The research on this doc is awesome great

[judithcampbell]

I admit that I only have knowledge about Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano, but now I'm learning about all the others, thanks to you and your channel. Thank you ❤
