- Don Carlo Gambino: The Fox & The Lion | Full Documentary
Carlo Gambino was here to hold court with people from the community with grievances or questions, as was common practice for a Don such as himself. Similar to a feudal scene from mediaeval Sicily. The don was Sipping on his customary black coffee with his subjects brought before him. He was humble and attentive to their needs. But, he was also here on this morning as it had become known that the filming of a scene for a new film called “The Godfather”. Carlo Gambino was not your average “mob boss”, this kindly looking old man was one of the most ruthless Godfather’s in mob history. Gambino embodied the essence of what Niccolò Machiavelli, the philosopher of power, described as the “ideal leader”. He possessed the cunning of a fox, navigating the treacherous world of organized crime with an unmatched ability to identify and avoid danger. Yet, when necessary, he could unleash the force of a lion, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. A man who was loved by many, but feared by many more. And now, we will peel back the layers of myth and mystique surrounding Carlo Gambino, revealing the secrets of the man behind the power - a cunning strategist, a ruthless operator, and a paradox: a seemingly mild-mannered leader who presided over a brutal empire, one of the longest reigns in mob history. Don't let his kind face or small stature fool you. This man did not come up the easy way, and was willing to whatever it takes to reach the top. Betraying those he swore loyalty to and crushed those who he saw as a threat. THIS is the story of who many consider, as the real Vito Corleone, the godfather of the mafia.

What documentary do you want to see next? 📺🍿
Those getting their just deserts, such as prison time.
I would really appreciate it, if you make the next video about il Grande Capo dei Capi, Don Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria. Let me give some deep-detailed information about the "King of Prohibition".
Joe the Boss and the Curb Exchange, the Sidewalk, and the New York Stock Exchange
Now, I'm going to analyse you, how Joe the Boss achieved to get so rich, already since the beginning of Prohibition, before he officially became the Godfather of the Morello/Masseria Family. He was controlling the infamous "Curb Exchange", an open street market in where the bootleggers were trading their stuff, a key place to the whole New York liquor industry. Masseria, saw the importance of this market and immediately took over it, in order to secure his position as a top bootlegger and to have control over a lot of other bootleggers, who were forced to pay huge tribute to the Boss, if they wanted to operate. By his control of the "Curb Exchange" and by establishing a liquor import network from Canada to the East Side, with his caporegime Frankie Yale as the man in charge, Joe the Boss soon became, a very big player within the New York Underworld. By the mid 20s, especially after the elimination of the Brooklyn Waterfronts Irish mob, aka "the White Hand", Masseria was the most Powerful gangster in the country, "the Biggest of them all".
But let me give some more details about the "Curb Exchange", so you completely understand, for what kind of control we're talking about, not on only among gangsters, but for the whole New York Market. What exactly was the "Curb Exchange"??? Outdoor exchanges lacked spatial controls which regulated access to trading and were therefore seen as less legitimate than those exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the Chicago Board of Trade, that had decades earlier gone inside. By taking cover on New York City’s streets, the New York Curb Market evaded regulation and served as unofficial market where New York Stock Exchange brokerages could participate in more speculative transactions. Outside, the Curb consciously rejected the institutional trappings that signified an organized securities market. Because, anyone could simply walk up to the market and trade with any other trader, the market could plausibly claim to not be an organized securities market, but simply a group of people who simply gathered to informally trade in anything, and therefore, not an organisation that could be regulated. As the New York Times put it: "Any man with a good pair of lungs is free to trade there so long as he keeps good his contracts". And who was the one keeping control & order, and protecting this lucrative "Free Market"??? The Capo di tutti Capi, the "King of fish, wine and booze", the Great, Don Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria!!!

Documentary about Joe Bonnano
Luciano or Vito genovese
this is the best depiction of Carlo Gambino I have seen, he kept such a low profile I couldnt imagine the little old man I saw being as kunning and ruthless.
“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Perfectly said.
After 60+ hours of making this documentary it’s FINALLY HERE💯🔥
This one is the longest video we’ve ever made and it wasn’t easy.
Your feedback is extremely important to us, Do you want more documentaries like this one? Or do you like the shorter videos?
Let us know what you think and what documentary you want to see next?💭
This documentary is fantastic! This was the shortest 30 minutes I’ve seen in a long time watching YT.
As far as what’s next? Anything but Gotti, so many people think Gotti killed someone for Gambino but that’s not true. Keep up the good work.
Great video!
More documentaries for sure please
🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Keep going. Very interesting content to keep me attentive.
one of my favorite channels on TH-cam, period!
💯🌹
The philosophies are amazing and very thought provoking. The Godfather 2 and the Gambino family is very similar. Members didn't want Big Paul for Boss but he made a lot of money and had Roy Demeo backing him up. Same with Michael he made the family a lot of money and had Al Neri backing him up.
But al neri is not a crazy fucking lunatic like roy. Even sammy the bull said that roy is one sick individual.
A lion scares off trouble while a fox is able to dodge traps
Funny how irl lions are the only big cats that are vulnerable when alone while tigers leopards jags etc thrive and hunt alone. But it's a legendary Machiavellian quote
Yeh at risk from other roaming male coalitions.....pretty sure if male tigers were roaming around in groups of 2,3,4,5 they'd easily pick off lone male tigers
😮🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@BigA678a pride of lions led by strong leader would destroy a single tiger
Carlo Gambiano definitely was boss of all bosses the facts he didn’t even spend time in prison and wasn’t killed was beyond all measures crazy just wild
Carlo is on the Mount Rushmore of Bosses
I would say if there were 4 like Mount Rushmore it should be Luciano, Gambino, Accardo, and number 4 could be debated. Maybe Costello or Capone for his notoriety
@@sukottoshinobe7360Paul 'The Waiter' Ricca or Tony Accardo. Al Capone definitely "NO".
Well made and well done. Knowledge is power. Thank you, I know you put in many hours but it was worth it!
Much appreciated 💯
Thanks for the video ❤
You're welcome 💯
I believe the 2 main reasons why he was so successful was because he never boasted and he tried his best to stay out of the limelight.
Probably the main reason was he was totally loyal and devoted to his wife.
It was said by someone who had been in that, that the people in that who are boisterous do not last.
I remember a female sergeant in the army. She was in the mess hall. She was always very quiet and said as little as possible. Once she came on post and brought a German male friend on post. Some guy intimidated the guy guy she was with. She warned the guy to knock it off and it got serious. The guy she was with couldn't do anything but she could. She took the guy out with a round house. Nobody knew anything about her being able to do that before that happened. It turned out when she was in Korea she took martial art lessons from the masters there. I finally asked why she was very quiet all the time. She said because not everybody is her friend. She said when she talks she's revealing information about yourself that could be used against her in some way. With the soldiers under her, they try to get friendly with her so they can get some sort of advantage and if she gets friendly with just one of them, that would ruin cohesion. She said it's best to keep everything on a professional level. She made E6 just before going to another unit. Heard she made E7. I looked her up on FB but there's nothing.
Loved this documentary! Loved the long video as well could you do more of the bosses a deep dive in to there lives!
BONUS 📖
In 1972, the Gambino crime family, one of the most powerful Mafia organizations in New York City, was rocked by the kidnapping and murder of Carlo Gambino's nephew, Emmanuel "Manny" Gambino. This brazen act was carried out by an Irish American mob crew led by James "Jimmy from Queens" McBratney. McBratney's crew had been operating for over a year, targeting Italian mobsters and demanding hefty ransoms for their release. However, their luck ran out when they snatched the wrong person - a close relative of the Gambino family boss.
Infuriated by the attack, Carlo Gambino demanded swift retribution. This presented an opportunity for a young John Gotti, a rising star in the Gambino family and a protégé of underboss Neil Dellacroce. Gotti, along with his loyal friend Angelo "Fat Angie" Ruggiero and another associate Ralph "Ralphie Wigs" Galione, took it upon themselves to eliminate McBratney.
In May 1973, they lured McBratney to a Staten Island tavern. What followed was a brutal execution. Despite their ruthlessness, their plan wasn't foolproof. Witnesses at the scene eventually identified Gotti and Ruggiero, leading to their arrests and convictions for the murder. Galione also faced legal consequences. While the act solidified Gotti's reputation as a fearless and ruthless gangster, it also landed him in prison, a consequence that would shape his future trajectory within the Gambino family.
I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into your videos. One of my favorite channels honestly however while gotti and those guys did kill mcbratney he did not kidnap gambino’s nephew. That story has been proven inaccurate
C'est Willie Johnson qui a dénoncé Gotti et Ruggiero à l'époque il était déjà informateur dû FBI
@@hakimrouachi5940 my French is a little rusty but what I think you’re talking about is Willie Johnson being a informant. Yes he was and it was revealed during one of John’s trials he got rubbed out soon after the revelation
This channel is top 5 for me
I love it! I watch every video multiple times
Appreciate it @donshipman8441 🌹💯
The less you talk the more dangerous and effective you will be. DON CARLO would just nod his head and you know what happens next. 😂.
A very thoughtful incentive of honor 😢
Yayinda😮
Notice how powerful the Italian mafia was from the 1920s up to 1976. That's the year DON CARLO passed. Notice how SLOWLY BUT SURELY from 1976 till now the power has WEAKEN. goes to show you the OLD TIMERS knew how to run the show BETTER. 😢
Very true
The old dons were man of honor.

Awesome video about Carlo Gambino true Don/Godfather
As each one druw their last breath, closing their eyes to stand before the throne ,of The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, what fear , what trembleing,as they realise the judgement they face is for eternity.
thanks very much for uploading
Hope You enjoyed it 💯
I did thanks, and subscribed@@TheCultureMafia
The one thing that you will find amongst high achieving outliers, whether it is in sports, business or crime is almost always an exceptional mentor
Carlo was no different
Very True 💯
Not all have the privilege of a mentor who have made it to the top and Mastered the game! The best are always the most dedicated students of the game… and to be a great Leader u have to be a great soldier first. (It’s actually rare for someone to have talent and balls that’s why u don’t see ppl last long when they make it to the status of Boss)
Great video! Loved the interesting information, compelling narration style, scholarly nuances (e.g. Machiavellian references) and film footage! Btw-that photo of Gambino’s row house was in Brooklyn, not Massapequa; His shore home - where he unfortunately died while watching a Yankees game - was in Massapequa).
Can...not....wait
💯
Gambino was by far the greatest don ever. 50 years in charge and within 20 years after his death the family was in shambles
Uh oh, looks like Tony Accardo is walking toward you with a bat in his hand!
@@lednails yeah ur right he managed to survive even more eras
Uh 1957-1976 is wayyyyy less than 50 years
He's one of the greats but na i wouldn't say he's "the greatest" nope
@@raularaujo1329 In your opinion who's the greatest or maybe top 3?
I think it’s important to state that Anastasia wasn’t simply killed as a chess move, He was also viewed as a hot head who brought more trouble than he was worth. I believe the Schuster murder had a lot to do with it as well.
Charlie 'Lucky' Lucciano gave the order to take out Murder Inc. because Mad Al was exactly that, crazy mad and it was not good business.
Best channel on you tube
💯🌹
Don Carlo Gambino was one of the most powerful crime ruler's who ever existed in america or possibly the world. He truly was the inspiration for Don Vito Corleon. Mario Puzo claim that.
I really had hit the jackpot on the previous community post, I literally posted that fact on your post! ❤😮😊
About the Godfather Scene and Carlo seeing the shooting
You did, was happy to see it
The lion scares off the wolves, the fox recognizes traps. Be a lion & a fox nothing can defeat you.
Lion? Fox? Joe Bonanno, a veteran don in the know (who others also say is the godfather, Don Vito ) said of Carlo-The Lion & the Fox, "he's a SQUIRREL of a man." Ouch!
Did he say that before or after Bananas high tailed it to Arizona because he lost control of his own family?
Yeah! Bonanno did he's a original boss coming from under Maranzano family in the early 30's. But he is a coward that couldn't finish what he started with Don Carlo and than lost the war against the gambino's and couldn't face Carlo personally just to run to arizona, than Bonanno wait for Don Carlo to die and have the nerve to write a book bringing down the La Costra Nostra, and saying Carlo was no one to worry about. So who Bonanno really was? he was (Coward & possibly informant).
Bananas was just that bananas. He was a pentito.
The fact that this man died of old age a free man and not murdered or serving life makes him a true G
Who was a “better”
Don, Gambino or Costello?
Costello was more business headed but he grew up in Italy and later on the mean streets of NY while gambino had a balance of business and street crime the fatal mistake of costello was the isolation between soldiers and the higher ups
Gambino. Costello was weak in the heart. Gambino was a real boss!!!
Gambino
Costello was too American. Gambino was a Sicilian.
Gambino’s story has so much value, I understand patience. It is said when Gambino informed Luciano of his decision to remove Anastasia it was only then - that Luciano realized he was both the lion and the fox.
Is it possible to do Bio on Tony Accardo and or Paul Ricca? Thanks for your content and ✅ subscribed to the email.
Where was it said? And what was Luciano's response.
Luciano foretold that Gambino would take over from him in Cuba, Havana when Lansky bought Casinos for the Cosa Nostra. It was not Gambino who reported to Lucky but Meyer about the HLE killing of Schuster and that it brought too much heat. Gambino was the one sent to Lucky because they were Sicilians Lucky was sad and couldn't say yes so he just nodded his head.
@@liongordel9088 What's HLE Schuster?
@@flowerforsyte5671 Albert Anastasia was named High Lord Executioner and was in charge of Murder Inc.
@@flowerforsyte5671Schuster was some guy who was being interviewed on TV and The Mad Hatter didn't like him for some reason and killed him. He was a civilian and had nothing to do with La Cosa Nostra. Vito Genovese reported this to Lucky and sought permission of the Commission to kill HLE. Lucky was in exile in Italy. The job was given to Carlo Gambino. Gambino latter inherited that family.
The philosophies expressed in this presentation are completely relevant to an era long past, but perpetually relevant to cultures throughout recorded history. 'THE SKIM' from universal efforts to secure food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, etc. will always devolve to muscular managers. Facism was (is?) just one more iteration of that human-dynamic.
Loser
He kept a low profile and drove around in Buicks vs the other high end cars of the day.
Very interesting
MR. GAMBINO (THE BOSS OF BOSSES) WAS A RARE BREED!!!...🥃💞
Don Corleone survived the assassination attempt in the street. He dies in his garden of a heart attack, while playing with his grandson.
My favorite Don & the greatest Mafioso ever!
❤❤❤
This reminded me of my favorite quote and since it is a littlw ironic since it is from Robert Evans, the producer of the Godfather(not the owner of the restaurant chain lol)...and all around brilliant crazy person. That is; "'luck' is when opportunity meets preparation".
Enjoying your story of the Gambino's proud to be one
all the laws that were mentioned in videos. they are fascinating.
U MADE AN AWESOME DOCUMENTARY.. LUCKY LUCIANO BRING A NEW LEVEL TO THE MAFIA GAME..BUT CARLO GAMBINO WITH THE SCHOOL OF CASCIO FERRO BRING OT BACK TO THE OGs
💯
👊🏾❤️👊🏾🤝🏾🕊️🙏🙏🏽
Doc About Machvelli
Is Carlo the “real” Vito Corleone?
One of the main crime bosses that inspired marlon Brando's role of vito corleone was Russel bufflino a powerful Pennsylvania mob boss that taught Brando how a don should act and would visit hime during the time of shooting the movie to help Brando so I think he would be a good next topic
The real Vito corleone is “Vito Cascio Ferro” that is who the character is based on
hey.. @TheCultureMafia can you share this background soundtrack you use in every video...its like a drug to me 😅
The audio sounds like high end AI doing Charlie Sheen
Does sound like Charlie Sheen 😂
Carlo Gambino was a very sneaky dangerous man
I MET MR GAMBINO WHEN I WAS ONLY 5 yrs old AT THE BERGUN HUNT AND FISH CLUB IN HIS CANDY STORE HE GAVE ME SMITH BROTHERS COUGH DROPS LICORICE HE WAS QUITE AND HUMBLE it was 1967 I WAS TOLD BY JOHN GOTTI TO GO INSIDE LONG STORY SHORT IWAS AN ASSOCIATE TILL 1973 . RIP TO THE FAMILY AND RESPECT TO YOUR NAME .
Doubt it
🧢
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Yeah ok buddy. An associate at the age of 5???? That almost made me laugh
🐂 💩
can someone tell me what is the background music?
They say he was 5”6’? But once u become Boss, u don’t get measured the same as ordinary people… u get measured in respect, witch makes u a Giant amongst men. One thing I noticed is these guys from the old Country aren’t built the same. They are all work and no play! Where they come from everybody is built tough,have to fight for everything and don’t have anything? So the only thing they have is Pride… so imagine how soft and privileged they see the ppl here in America? It’s really the “Land of opportunity” for them… 😂
The rowhouse @21:15 isn’t suburban, it’s in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn

Did they say he married his wife who is also his first cousin? Whoa I knew they were about family but damn
Godfather III 😅 all over again.
It’s normal in alot of foreign countries
His wife was a Sicilian. That is why he was a very powerful Don because the adage "behind every great man there is a woman " rings true in the Cosa Nostra. His cousin sister was Cosa Nostra royalty. "Never ever takes sides against the family". -The Godfather-.😊
Carlo "The Lion Fox" Gambino
Carlo "Gambit" Gambino
Fun nicknames imo
This man is more respected than any president of the United States we ever had....... This man is an idol in a role model .
DON CARLO ALOT LIKE SANTO TRAFFICANTE MAN OF VERY FEW WORDS
Could some confirm whether or the narrators voice is AI? Regardless would love to listen/watch a whole series on individual mobsters
I lived a few doors down from Paul Castellano. The neighborhood was very safe when he was alive.
I heard a story about Sonny Franzese at a sit-down with Carlo Gambino. Apparently it got pretty heated, and Sonny reached in his coat to grab a tissue, and Gambino, thinking it was a gun, jumped to the floor. Sonny lost all respect for Carlo after that. He said that Carlo Gambino "ain't got s***".
He didn't arrive in New York@
3.00 minute's in.
Down South in Dixie land.keep making it up as you go."""Grimms 🧚♂️ fairy-tale story always have poetic license 😅🎉
My favourite people, The Mafios...‼️
In a scene in which don corleone is murdered?
Narrators voice sounds so familiar
Do Tony Accardo
Gambino also had a big house on staton island
That was castellano
🖤
Carlo Gambino was ĺike Bernardo "The Tractor" Provenzano of the Corleonesi Cosa Nostra from Sicily. However, the Accountant was arrested in Pelermo, Sicily in 2006 from the trail of dirty laundry. The mighty Phantom of Corleone was brought down when Carabineri followed a package from Saveria Provenzano to the Ghost of Corleone. He was Wanted for over 45 years.
You are always leaving Patriarca off the lists he was super powerful and influential from montreal to new york and was highly respected. So maybe do something on him?
7:50 imagine the national leader having the audacity to punish criminals eh?!
I saw Ric Flair at a traffic light one time.
Haha, I really like ice cream!!
Respect the honor
Tony accardo; The most successful and ONLY Mafia boss, who avoided prosecution through the RICO act.
I never knew Anastasia was on the 6th floor. Noth that it matters, but I always just expected it was the 1st floor so the shooters can escape into the city right away
FINALLY a documentary about Don Carlo Gambino , for me he is the REAL Don Corleone and NOT Frank Costello
not all mob bosses died peacefully of age lol , they either be in prison or 6ft below the ground
Don Carlo lived the life, made the Gambino the most powerful crime family , although they have the "commission" he is feared by the other families and deserved the title "boss of all bosses" though he sit in the commission of equal ranks.
Hold on.
Didn't Mr Gambino actually come to America on a fruit ship, as the only passenger, also, he didn't land in New York. He landed in Norfolk Virginia.
"Held the country in the palms of their hands"??
Phooey!
These are people for whom leadership in a single line of groceries, olive oil, was a Big Deal.
Gotti (1996)
Mafia didn’t want the movie made.
They did everything they could to stop it.
Check out mob archeologists they do deep dives into this
Carlo is a bit overhyped remember alot of the top bosses didn't respect him
True but they Didn't make A move against him
Dude! Angelo Delacroix was hitman no one could rival in the mob. Other mob bosses feared Gambino because of Anielo Delacroix. He made sure no one disrespected Carlo Gambino. People feared Gambino because suddenly anyone could disappear and become a missing person on the feds list.
I think gambino and tony accodoe was the best at what they did he should have let tommy gambino take over with nile del as under boss
5:12
*Heads Up:* You may want to correct a mistake. You got your history wrong on one crucial aspect of Carlo Gambino's story:
He traveled to America in 1921. You claim he did so to flee Benito Mussolini's new Fascist Italian state, but Mussolini didn't gain power in Italy until late 1922- unable to truly gain it in all of the Italian territories later than this.
Remember, Mussolini wasn't recognized as El Ducé- the supreme leader of the Italian state-in it's provinces and colonies until at least 1924 after he'd had time to fully consolidate his power in Rome, and after he had the time to expand the police state & swell his personal "Blackshirt" army of political agitators.
I'm not 100% certain of what Carlo Gambino's true motivation was to leave Sicily, but I am certain that it couldn't have been to escape Mussolini's Fascist state. If I had to speculate, I'd say it's more likely he was escaping criminal charges from the local Sicilian police. If not that, it may be as simple as him recognizing there was more money to be made in the US than in Sicily, and that America was a new market with less much competition to overcome if you wanted to rise to the top. This type of shrewd calculation is very much consistent with Carlo's nature.
Another (but less likely) explanation may be that he'd insulted or crossed an older and more powerful mafioso in Sicily, and he needed to get away from him at all cost. Perhaps he'd unwittingly slept with one of the Sicilian mobsters' wives or girlfriends, and his health was now placed in immense risk in Sicily.
The Chin said that Carlo Gambino had no business being a boss
That nose!!!
Lol these comments crack me up, I’m going to go with nobody knows nothing about these people or why they got killed
Very clever man but fair! 😊
He was a khazarian.
Who was executed in Umberto's Clam House, Little Italy, NYC -
P.S. It is no "mythical" generation. In our kitchen was a saying that read, There is no such animal as the Cosa Nostra 😅
Joe Gallo ! Shot by Frank Sheeran (what bollocks)😅
what were your hopes for that fuking background noise
He was more like clemensa
A criminal
I laughed at joe bonano interviewhich he was asked bout saying carlo was a squirrely man,and he says I say it to his face.i bet he did.
He was left alive because Lucky told Gambino in 1969 to let him live, before Lucky died and it was his last Testament. But Bonano was ordered to leave New York.
The Lion and the Fox, yes no doubt. All true Cosa Nostra historian's or fans know thie saying. It was in a documentary about 20 years ago.
But im going out here. Carlo Gambino had nothing to do with the Godfather. Absolute nonsense infact imo.
However ill say this just incase some people haven't heard it.
When they talk about CN not wanting the word Mafia ot Cosa Nostra referenced, again nonsense.
In the fitst set of the film Connie's wedding, when Barzini and Friends arrive, Marlon Brando when he shows them to there table, listen and Brando in Italian tells them, " Table reserved for Cosa Nostra."
You guys must have picked up on this? Believe me im not trolling. This is still interesting video, even though heard all this before, dude does it in his own way and yeah its pretty good.
However just dont think Carlo had anything to do with the Godfather movie.
Like u say yourself, Carlo was low key. He could definitely send some guys from the family round if He wanted to. F'n right. Just dont believe the Godfather reference here.
New sub though. You got something going on so, Salute!
The Gallo's killed colombo not Carlo
Don Carlo Gambino ordered the hit
Great vid but I hope people don’t aspire to be Machiavellian, that’s psychotic lol.
