Great work. To add to your video: Sicilians felt an added discrimination from other Italians in America as well, which helped swell the ranks of Sicilian organized crime. Sicilians turned inward in a country where public anti-Italian sentiment was very strong and part of an Italian immigrant community that did not see Sicilians as “true Italians” and were made to feel as outsiders among Italians. You briefly touched on it when you mentioned Napoli but didn’t follow up on the divisions within the Italian-American community. Most of this I learned from my Sicilian family and grew up with the teasing/jokes among Italian-Americans that my family weren’t true Italians. It doesn’t have the spite and viciousness of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it’s still there. You do excellent work and enjoy all your channels. Please keep it up.👍
I'm from an Irish family. I learned the same about Italians. And Irish. (Italians were too dirty and Irish were too stupid for anything but manual labor: no manger or higher for us at the tirn of the 20th century - but no one likes to point out racisim is just tribalism for little egos). The Irish just fucked everything until we were integrated. Italians were a bit more violent about it. Someday, racisims history will be taught rather than avoided so kids know how fucking stupid it is when they hear the BS from their grandpa.
Hey Simon, love your work, just a couple corrections: The Sicilian term for the "protection fee" is not "piso" but "pizzo". Pronounced as you would pronounce "pizza" but, obviously, with the final "O" instead of "A". Moreover, a group of mafiosi isn't "Cose"(things), but "cosche", singular "cosca". Italians will also use the term "Clan" to refer to them. Sorry for the interruption, please carry on! A Sicilian in Sicily.
yea Simon's general pronunciation of italian words is pretty excruciating. The way he pronounced cosca/cosche as 'cossay' was unintelligible as was "capo" which sounded like "gaaahbo"😅. But he gets a pass - his accent/pronunciation in English is also pretty unique and he doesn't purport to be a linguist.
Trying to educate Simon on pronunciation is a futile effort. He's even said so himself many times. He doesn't want to learn, and doesn't care whether it's right or wrong. So long as you click the video he gets paid.
audio goes out of sync around 24:20 and stays that way to the end. seems like a pronunciation flub wasn't cut out of the picture track but left in sound
Simon, may I say that you speak so quickly and give us so many facts in such rapid fire speech that it’s quite difficult to ingest it all. No rush…. please!
A friend of mine had an uncle in the mafia, he thinks at least. He barely ever saw him, but he said the only time he realized anything was special about him was during a family reunion when he was 12ish. The Uncle had two men bring in an elaborate wooden chair, in which he sat during the entire reunion, and the two men brought him any food/refreshments he wanted. During the whole reunion the other men from distant family relations and people that weren't even in the family but showed up anyway approached The Uncle and had private conversations and exchanged handshakes. He wasn't allowed to talk to The Uncle. Apparently The Uncle was shot and killed about 9 years after that reunion, and no one ever really addressed it.
The kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby impelled the U.S. Congress to commission and empower a Federal Law Enforcement apparatus. The evolution / escalation of that Federal Law Enforcement apparatus would make for an interesting episode.
When Jen cracks up with him speaking Spanish, pretty much the same when speaking Italian. Still, Simon remains an absolute legend! I really enjoyed this video.
Perfect timing, yesterday Giuliani got hit as part of a RICO case and he was one of the people who once made the RICO case possible that decapitated the Italian mob in the US! 🤣

To provide an oblique view; my Grandfather- his family itself affiliated with the NYC Hell's Kitchen 'Irish Mob' of Owney Madden- described it thusly; "We was Irish businessmen, not murderin' guinea mobsters!" The pre-Italian 'gangs' were primarily effected as hiring halls and social welfare organizations within a society that lacked any of those things. Italians moving into cities with previously established hierarchies used somewhat stronger methods to bring themselves to parity.
Absolutely true! Then the Irish compared the Italian mafioso to guinea that was an act of mere infamy. The mafia has few strengths and many defects, one of the strengths and in any case the extended family and nationalism/populism which is not always but has often been adopted by others as well. The submission to other groups it is not an option.
@@cristianfamigliuolo- what brought the 'infamy' was an internal murderousness, surprising even to the existing gangs, which was unique to Sicilian and Neapolitan groups.

Nothing personal Let's say Italian comedy, sarcasm, joke etc. In Italy there are popular customs that date back to the Roman age and are still in use and costume. I don't discuss your family situations, I would never allow myself. I emphasize that an Italian in his dialogues has ancient memories and personal memories, always for a Roman to slaughter a kid is a practice very common for a local dish caled "l'abbacchio" but it is also used colloquially to alienate a well-known person. Then you don't 😊😊 "incaprettare" or "sgozzare". In some situation is a way of saying not something that have to be done. But grandparents commonly taught their children to do these things. It was a peasant need to bring fresh food to the table. In the 80s all families had grandmothers who taught farming practices to their grandchildren me too. Some terms then slipped and transferred in less appropriate ways.
So this Giuseppe Morello fella only had half a hand and only half a sister? What else did he have only half of?! If I was him I would have been taking things too! Someone give this man a helping extremity!
To be fair, I didn't know a mob guy, but I knew a few ex-gang members... One was an old guy named Eddy who lived in an apartment in my row housing. Former pusher, honestly still was, it was just he was peddling his oxy for his hip pain instead of coke. Nice guy, though. Always asked how my fishing ventures turned out... even offered some painkillers when my wife left for fairly cheap ($50 for 5 caps) Old habits die hard, I guess. Btw, dude was in his 60s.
Hi, Simon, so glad you included the Black Hand! While doing family history research I found out there was a man who shared the same name as my great-grandpa and lived in the same town in Pennsylvania as him, and this person was apparently an accused member of the Black Hand. This was back in the 1910's or 1920's. I've been curious what the Black Hand was. Still haven't figured out yet if this person and I are also related somehow; there was just enough information for me to establish this was not my great-grandpa because of certain details not lining up.
It's like... half of a really good story. What's here is interesting and there were parts I didn't know, but there was just so much missing. This, just the early beginnings of the mafia, probably deserved a three or four part series.
Hahahah I Watch Simon every day, my cousin just wrote a book over the first wave of the black hands with my family. I loved hearing about the detective Pertosino out of print. Two books that I’d recommend if you’re interested; first is a book for info Inspector Old Field and the Black Hand. It’s from the perspective of the law. “The Banana in Ohio” is written by Shane W. Croston and covers the same thing from the Sicilian perspective. And I’ll give it to cousin Shane my author twin and I both think it reads pretty good
Ya Biographics and Geographics is what introduced me to Simon. However all of those channels have barely had any uploads as of late and I'd rather see them continue without him rather than fade away entirely
Great movie with Gene Kelley that talks about mafia and Petresino from 1950 called “The Black Hand”. They use different names for the characters however.
There’s a story about Petroceino that he arrested a mafioso and held a gun to his cheek. When the mafioso continued to struggle…..Petrocino pushed the gun barrel so hard against his cheek that the barrel burst and ripped through the check and into his mouth. That’s guys name is Joe Pinzolo. He was Boss of what would become the Lucchese family for about 6 months and there’s actually a picture of him recovering from his wound, his face wrapped up due to the injury
it's a good timeline and chronology of the mafia but only a superficial overview. You didn't go into the complex sociopolitical factors that were a big part of their rise to power and maintaining it. For example, you briefly mentioned the discrimination against Italian-Americans, but not that the police tended to treat them so badly that the only way they could get justice for crimes committed against them was to go to the Mafia. The Mafia families built up their strength in America by replacing policing function and protecting the people in their territory from being preyed on by other criminals, in return for paid protection or services rendered. It was this combination of inspiring fear in people, and yet making people rely on them (even just to avoid a worst fate) that made these organisations so hard to uproot.
All true, which makes the reality of police brutality today even more painful intellectually and viscerally: the descendants of the same people treated as subhuman by the police today form the backbone of the occupying army that is the police, and abuse populations more vulnerable than their own. And they get away with it because the white supremacy they found when they arrived has never gone away, just shifted focus slightly. Smh
Can anyone else tell that simons mouth doesnt match the words that are being said lol i feel like they used some old vid footage and dubbed jn his voice haha
The thing I hate about Simon's channels is that they are awful at putting me to sleep. I put a video on, even ones that are 45min +. I think, yeah this'll put me to sleep. I don't even watch the content, I just listen to his narration. next thing I know the video has finished, I'm swiping for the next one, and more and more birds are tweeting outside. Letting me know I havnt got long to get to sleep. Was Simon ever on TV. Because he's more talented than anyone on TV. Even when he's just reading a script like they do.
Don: 'Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a video for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift....' Simon: ' I've made 15 videos. Today. Just now. And I also started 4 new channels.' Don: '......um' Edit: continues petty cat
24:24 Simon stumbles over a name, there's a tiny glitch in the video, then the dialogue ceases to match the visuals. Nice try Dave. i'm sure many people didn't notice !:-)
Artichoke King, mentioned at least three times, was the nickname of a guy who dealt in artichokes as his source of income. It is not the actual name of someone as this video leads you to believe.
If all the street people in your town got together and went" Well you owe me $5 dollars for walking down this sidewalk". So you crossed over and were told the same thing. The police don't care. It's only $5..Stop wasting our time. It grows upon itself until it becomes a problem and it becomes too big for them to deal with.

Great work.
To add to your video:
Sicilians felt an added discrimination from other Italians in America as well, which helped swell the ranks of Sicilian organized crime.
Sicilians turned inward in a country where public anti-Italian sentiment was very strong and part of an Italian immigrant community that did not see Sicilians as “true Italians” and were made to feel as outsiders among Italians.
You briefly touched on it when you mentioned Napoli but didn’t follow up on the divisions within the Italian-American community.
Most of this I learned from my Sicilian family and grew up with the teasing/jokes among Italian-Americans that my family weren’t true Italians. It doesn’t have the spite and viciousness of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it’s still there.

Italians were a bit more violent about it.

Hey Simon, love your work, just a couple corrections: The Sicilian term for the "protection fee" is not "piso" but "pizzo". Pronounced as you would pronounce "pizza" but, obviously, with the final "O" instead of "A".
Moreover, a group of mafiosi isn't "Cose"(things), but "cosche", singular "cosca". Italians will also use the term "Clan" to refer to them.
Sorry for the interruption, please carry on!

I can guarantee that Simon doesn't pronounce "pizza" like you pronounce "pizza."
yea Simon's general pronunciation of italian words is pretty excruciating. The way he pronounced cosca/cosche as 'cossay' was unintelligible as was "capo" which sounded like "gaaahbo"😅.
