44 years ago today Bonanno wiseguy Anthony Mirra was taken out on February 18th 1982.
Joseph Massino ordered Mirra's uncle Alfred Embarrato & Mirra's two cousins, Richard Cantarella & Joseph D'Amico, to find & kill him.
On February 18, 1982, D'Amico lured him to a parking garage in Lower Manhattan. Embarrato & Cantarella were waiting in a getaway car. The pair went to the parking garage, climbed into Mirra's car, & drove up to a locked security gate. D'Amico later described in a testimony, "He took out his key, put it in the box, but he didn't get a chance to turn the box. I shot him at close range several times on the side of his head."


(July 18th 1927 - February 18th 1982)

Every day we find something positive!
Today, we celebrate Founders Day of the Italian-American War Veterans of the United States (ITAMVETS). Since receiving their congressional charter in 1981, this organization has honored the bravery, unity, and sacrifice of Italian-American veterans and their families.

Rhode Island leads the way in commemorating this day with public ceremonies and a governor’s proclamation. It’s a time to reflect on the legacy and continued dedication of those who served.

Marlon Brando arrived on the set of The Godfather with a desire to make his character, Vito Corleone, feel as human and as natural as possible. During the filming of his final scene, where the Don dies in his garden while playing with his grandson, Brando decided to improvise a moment that would become a legend. He took a piece of an orange peel and put it in his mouth to look like a monster, scaring the young child and making him laugh at the same time. This simple gesture added a layer of warmth and playfulness to the character of the mob boss, showing that he was a loving grandfather in his final moments. The scene was shot in a quiet, sunny garden in Long Island, a place that felt far away from the violence and the crime that Vito had spent his life building.

The acting of Marlon Brando in this role was a transformation that changed the history of cinema. He used a dental plumper to make his jaw look wider and he spoke in a quiet, gravelly voice that forced everyone in the room to lean in and listen. He wanted Vito to look like a man who was carrying the weight of a thousand secrets. The garden scene was the perfect conclusion to his story, showing the peaceful end of a man who had lived a very turbulent life. Brando’s ability to find the truth in the small moments was his greatest strength as an actor. He showed that you didn't need big explosions or shouting to tell a powerful story. He gave the character a sense of nobility and ancient wisdom that made him feel like a king from an old tragedy. This performance earned him a major award and the respect of every actor who followed his lead.

The impact of Marlon Brando on the industry is seen in every "Method" actor who tries to disappear into a role. He showed that you could be a superstar while still being a serious student of the craft. His work in The Godfather set a new standard for excellence that has never been surpassed. Even today, fans watch the garden scene to see the humanity and the grace that he brought to the character. He proved that the most "mesmerizing" stories are the ones that find the beauty in the ordinary. Marlon Brando remains a giant of the cinema, a man who redefined what it meant to be a leading man. He gave the world a character who was a symbol of the American Dream gone dark, but who died with a smile on his face. He showed that in the end, the only thing that matters is the love of your family. His name will always be linked to the masterpiece that redefined American film.

Everyday I learn more about our culture and the positive impact it had on the 🇺🇸 USA. This list is soooooo loooong! Discriminated against Lynched Labeled Dirty but never complained! 🇮🇹

Valentine’s Day doesn’t exist because of candy companies.

It exists because of a man who was executed.

On February 14, 269 AD, a Christian priest named Valentine was put to death under the Roman Empire.

He lived in what is now Italy.

Centuries later, poets began linking his feast day with romance.

And over time…
A martyr became a symbol of love.

Before heart-shaped boxes.
Before red roses.
Before Hallmark.

There was Rome.
There was faith.
There was sacrifice.

History doesn’t start commercial.
It becomes commercial.

Most people celebrate February 14th without ever knowing why.
