Episode 176: The Mafia & San Gennaro Feast

The Feast of San Gennaro is among the most popular Italian heritage festivals in America taking place in New York City for ten days in Mid September annually. We know that the Mafia has always loved making money and to the surprise of no one they have been very involved in getting their hands in multiple money pots when it comes to the Feast committing extortion and many other crimes. It's said that the Genovese Crime Family has controlled it since the 1960's.
