Genovese FamilyThe Genovese Family is one of the five Mafia Families in New York City. The faction got it's name from Vito Genovese, who ran it in the 1950s, although it had existed before that time. During the 1970s, the Genovese Family was aligned with the Gambino Family, but the two Families moved apart in the 1980s, primarily because the then-boss of the Genovese, Vincent Gigante, despised the flamboyant and swaggering Gambino boss, John Gotti. Prominent members of the Genovese Family include: It's current boss, Vincent "The Chin" Gigante is currently locked up in prison, but a panel of several caporegimes is taking care of day-to-day business.
