Show #660: GALLO BE THY NAME
Guests: Author Jerome Tuccille
Subject: The family enterprise began, like many others, in the black market and, when sufficient cash accrued, grew into respectability. This history leads us to ask… What’s in that jug of Gallo?
Topics include why immigrants like Al Capone and Joe Gallo turned to crime for work; how prohibition provided the Gallo family with a springboard to respectability; and how the Gallos grew their family business into a world-class empire.
