Description: Mario Machi's history of the southwestern Pennsylvania crime family.
AmericanMafia.com 26 Mafia Cities - Pittsburgh, PA other contributors The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania faction of La Cosa Nostra was founded in 1926 by Stefano Monastero. Monastero was successful in the usual mob rackets like protection money, gambling, and bootlegging. Joseph Siragusa succeeded Monastero in Pittsburgh and was the boss from 1929 until 1931, when he was murdered in a move that was likely due to his close association with New York City mobster Salvatore Maranzano, who had been killed three days earlier. John Bazzano ruled the family for two years, but he was stricken with a very serious illness and died early in 1933. Vincenzo Capizzi was the family's head from 1933 until 1937. Capizzi was the first boss to bring national attention to the Pittsburgh family. At the time, Pittsburgh was one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
