Salvatore D'Ambrosio

Salvatore D'Ambrosio

Salvatore "Sally" D'Ambrosio (1924 - November 1969) was a New York mobster who served as a lieutenant for the Profaci crime family and hitman for the Colombo crime family family. D'Ambrosio and future boss Carmine Persico attempted to murder Larry Gallo in a New York City bar. D'Ambrosio also participated in the murder of Joseph "Joe Jelly" Gioelli. Gioelli was an enforcer for Joey Gallo, a rival of the Profaci family. D'Ambrosio, having served with Gioelli during WWII was able to lure him onto a fishing trip out in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay, where D'Ambrosio and his fellow Profaci men shot and dismembered Gioelli. D'Ambrosio's brother, Alphonse "Funzi" D'Ambrosio, was also a Colombo family hitman.

In popular culture

The attempted murder of Gallo is recreated in the 1974 film "The Godfather Part 2" when the "Rosato Brothers" attempt to kill Corleone family caporegime "Frank Pentangeli".
