each night I wonder when I lay down to watch the stars
why he won’t ever come out
hid in his store to deny books full of scars
written to give colours to his life
now he’s what he never wanted to be,
he’ll tell you tales of days when he was young
god knows that he’s aware of reaching boiling points
digging in the earth that built his past
entering the store you feel the string that holds is thin
he’ll tell you tales of days when he grew old
tonight when he got to bed he’ll fall asleep
today he won’t ever wake up
one day I’ll start a revolution, throw a coin
when all the things surrounding me are gone”
his earthy powers will be washed away
and thrown into the winds
he’s taking every secret to the sky
don’t let me down

PMMedia1: Wir wagen uns in das Getümmel der Millionen-Metropole Colombo. Am Uhrturm, einem Bauwerk aus britischer Kolonialzeit, mieten wir eines der typischen Fahrzeuge auf drei Rädern. Die Einwohner nennen es liebevoll Duck-Duck. Abgasschwaden und das heillose Durcheinander auf den Straßen machen uns Angst. Mit Hupkonzerten und Drängelei verschaffen sich die Verkehrsteilnehmer Vorfahrt. Die Bevölkerung Colombos setzt sich aus mehreren Volksgruppen mit unterschiedlichen Religionen zusammen. Neben Moscheen des Islam findet man in der Stadt auch hinduistische Tempel und Pagoden des Buddhismus.

Per te amore mioo
testo Oggi il passato non conta,
oggi va bene così.
Lunica cosa che conta è che tu sei qui.
E quando cade una stella
non sono mai quella che
il desiderio più bello vive per te.
E passato il tempo ma ti ricordi anche tu
erano giorni belli che somigliavano ad angeli.
E questa notte sarà meravigliosa con te
mentre mi stringi, mentre mi parli
sento che stai tornando da me.
E questa volta sarà dannatamente bella
mentre mi stringi a te fragile come argilla.
La verità non è quella che si racconta perchè
il tempo solo cancella le lacrime.
Però il ricordo più bello rimane vivo
perchè il tempo solo non riesce a nasconderti a me.
E passato il tempo ma ti ricordi anche tu
erano giorni belli che somigliavano ad angeli.
E passato il tempo ma ti ricordi anche tu
erano giorni belli che somigliavano ad angeli.
E questa notte sarà meravigliosa con te
mentre mi stringi, mentre mi parli
sento che stai tornando da me.
E questa volta sarà dannatamente bella
mentre mi stringi a te fragile come argilla.
Fare a meno di te
raccontare lepilogo,
che anche il tempo che passa con me
non è riuscito a nascondermi e nasconderti a me.
E questa notte sarà meravigliosa con te
mentre mi stringi, mentre mi parli
sento che stai tornando da me.
E questa volta sarà dannatamente bella
mentre mi stringi a te fragile come argilla.

Perché in una mappa cinquecentesca si legge che Cristoforo Colombo è sbarcato nelle Antille nel 1485, 7 anni prima della data che la Storia ci tramanda: il 12 ottobre del 1492? La sua fu una scoperta o si trattò piuttosto di una riscoperta? E' stato Colombo il primo a raggiungere l'America? Perché c'è chi sostiene che il grande navigatore non fosse genovese e avesse legami strettissimi con il Papato? Chi avrebbe regalato a Colombo una mappa preziosa e segreta il giorno delle sue nozze? Quali sono le origini del grande ammiraglio? L'indagine ci porterà nei laboratori di Tor Vergata dove è in corso un test del DNA sui suoi resti.

Guardò quel grande comò solo un immagine cade la pioggia e chi sà che effetto ti farà so che lontano da te io non so vivere e assai difficile pensare che un nuovo amore ti accarezzerà e farai l'amore e te ne vai dimmi soltanto come faccio a vivere quando non ci sei mi sto perdendo in una speranza che tu tornerai si per te è facile per me è difficile e te ne vai dimmi una lacrima che serve adesso se tu non ci sei col cuore infranto e senza una ragione mi hai lasciato tu sarà difficile vorrei rinascere ma insieme a te oddio che freddo fà si gela l'anima tu con lo sgurdo di chi di chi non perde mai io che pensavo a una storia che poi non finiva più pensavo fosse un sogno e adesso è la realtà e te ne vai e te ne vai dimmi soltanto come faccio a vivere quando non ci sei mi sto perdendo in una speranza che tu tornerai sarà difficile ma per te è facile e te ne vai dimmi una lacrima che serve adesso se tu non ci sei col cuore infranto e senza una ragione mi hai lasciato tu sarà difficile vorrei rinascere ma insieme a te.

Rosario Miraggio e Stefania Lay - Un amore al telefono
Lei-scusami, ma volevo sentirti un pò, questo cuore è un pò isterico, parla solo con te
lui- Dove sei?non riuscivo a dormire sai, è cresciuto in un attimo il bisogno di te
Io per te sono solo un ostacolo, un amore al telefono, sempre pronto a murì...
lui-nun ma telefonà
mi gioco l'anima, ma si tu nun u lassi chi mi chiam'affà?
nun ma telefonà, aiutam'a pinsà, ca è sulu n'ata storia ca firnisci cà.
lei-ma cummi pò pinsà ca nui ci amma lassà?st'amuri nun è natu pe fernì accussì! dammi del tempo e poi vedrai che finirà e al posto della pioggia il sole ci sarà...
Nun ma tratta come fussi bugiarda e colpevole...nun ma ripetiri sempri "so stanco di credere"
lui-Quante promesse mancate m'hai fatto conoscere...è colpa tua se stasera nun credo chiù a te!
lei-dove sei?vieni a prendermi subito,questo amore al telefono, vuole stare con te!
lui-giuralo:non ci sono più ostacoli; vengo a prenderti subito...e ti porto con me!
lui-nun ma telefonà
mi gioco l'anima, ma si tu nun u lassi chi mi chiam'affà?
nun ma telefonà, aiutam'a pinsà, ca è sulu n'ata storia ca firnisci cà.
lei-ma cummi pò pinsà ca nui ci amma lassà?st'amuri nun è natu pe fernì accussì! dammi del tempo e poi vedrai che finirà e al posto della pioggia il sole ci sarà...
Nun ma tratta come fussi bugiarda e colpevole...nun ma ripetiri sempri "so stanco di credere"
lui-Quante promesse mancate m'hai fatto conoscere...è colpa tua se stasera nun credo chiù a te!

Voyager - Colombo: Il segreto dell'ammiraglio - parte 1 di 3 - (03/10/2011)
Perché in una mappa cinquecentesca si legge che Cristoforo Colombo è sbarcato nelle Antille nel 1485, 7 anni prima della data che la Storia ci tramanda: il 12 ottobre del 1492? La sua fu una scoperta o si trattò piuttosto di una riscoperta? E' stato Colombo il primo a raggiungere l'America? Perché c'è chi sostiene che il grande navigatore non fosse genovese e avesse legami strettissimi con il Papato? Chi avrebbe regalato a Colombo una mappa preziosa e segreta il giorno delle sue nozze? Quali sono le origini del grande ammiraglio? L'indagine ci porterà nei laboratori di Tor Vergata dove è in corso un test del DNA sui suoi resti. Le telecamere di Voyager hanno incontrato un suo discendente!

Colombo (Sinhala: කොළඹ, pronounced [ˈkoləmbə]; Tamil: கொழும்பு) is the largest city of Sri Lanka. It is located on the west coast of the island and adjacent to Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, the capital of Sri Lanka. Colombo is often referred to as the capital of the country, since Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte is a satellite city of Colombo. Colombo is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life and colonial buildings and ruins[2] and a population of 647,100.[1] The Colombo Metropolitan Region, defined by the districts of Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara, has an estimated population of 5,648,000, and covers an area of 3,694.20 km².[3][4] As per the Provincial Gross Domestic Product-2010, The Western Province, which includes the cities of Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara recorded GDP per capita of USD 3,808, the highest recorded GDP per capita for any region in South Asia.[5] It was formerly the political capital of Sri Lanka, before Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte.
Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. It was made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815,[6] and its status as capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948. In 1978, when administrative functions were moved to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Colombo was designated as the commercial capital of Sri Lanka.
Like many cities, Colombo's urban area extends well beyond the boundaries of a single local authority, encompassing other Municipal and Urban Councils. The main city is home to a majority of Sri Lanka's corporate offices, restaurants and entertainment venues.[7] Famous landmarks in Colombo include the Galle Face Green, the Viharamahadevi Park, Mount Lavinia beach as well as the National Museum.

Etymology[link]
The name "Colombo", first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be derived from the classical Sinhalese name කොලොන් තොට Kolon thota, meaning "port on the river Kelani".[8] It has also been suggested that the name may be derived from the Sinhalese name කොල-අඹ-තොට Kola-amba-thota which means "Harbour with leafy mango trees".[7] However, it is also possible that the Portuguese named the city after Christopher Columbus,[citation needed] the Italian sailor who lived in Portugal for many years before discovering the Americas on behalf of the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. His Portuguese name is Cristóvão Colombo. Colombo set sail westwards to look for India around the same time Portuguese sailor Vasco da Gama set sail eastwards, landing at the Port of Calicut in India on 20 May 1498. Colombus landed in the Americas six years before that on 12 October 1492 and was already a famed sailor and explorer, celebrated both in Portugal and Spain by the time Dom Lourenço de Almeida accidentally landed in the port of Galle in 1505.[9] The author of the oldest Sinhalese grammar, Sidatsangarava, written in the 13th century wrote about a category of words that exclusively belonged to early Sinhalese. It lists naramba (to see) and kolamba (ford or habor) as belonging to an indigenous source. Kolamba is the source of the name of the commercial capital Colombo.[10][11]
History[link]
As Colombo possesses a natural harbour, it was known to Greeks, Persians, Romans, Arabs, and Chinese traders over 2,000 years ago. Traveller Ibn Batuta who visited the island in the 14th century, referred to it as Kalanpu.[12] Muslims of various ethnicities whose prime interests were trade, began to settle in Colombo around the 8th century AD mostly because the port helped their business and controlled much of the trade between the Sinhalese kingdoms and the outside world. Their descendants now comprise the local Sri Lankan Moor community.[6][13]
The Portuguese Era[link]
Portuguese explorers led by Dom Lourenço de Almeida first arrived in Sri Lanka in 1505. During their initial visit they made a treaty with the King of Kotte Parakramabahu VIII (1484–1508) enabling them to trade in the islands' crop of cinnamon, which lay along the coastal areas of the island, including in Colombo.[14] As part of the treaty, the Portuguese were given full authority over the coast line in exchange for the promise of guarding the coast against invaders. They were also allowed to establish a trading post in Colombo.[14] Within a short time, however, they then expelled the Muslim inhabitants of Colombo and began to build a fort there in 1517.
The Portuguese soon realized that control of Sri Lanka was necessary for protection of their coastal establishments in India and they began to manipulate the rulers of the Kotte Kingdom in order to gain control of the area. After skilfully exploiting rivalries within the Royal Family, they took control of a large area of the Kingdom and the Sinhalese King Mayadunne established a new Kingdom at Sitawaka, a domain in the Kotte kingdom.[14] Before long he annexed much of the Kotte kingdom and forced the Portuguese to retreat to Colombo, which was repeatedly besieged by Mayadunne and the later Kings of Sitawaka, forcing them to seek reinforcement from their major base in Goa, India. However, following the fall of the Kingdom in 1593, the Portuguese were able to establish complete control over the entire coastal area, with Colombo as their capital.[14][15] This part of Colombo is still known as Fort and houses the presidential palace and the majority of Colombo's five star hotels. The area immediately outside Fort is known as Pettah (Sinhala පිට කොටුව piṭa koṭuva, "outer fort") and is a commercial hub.
The Dutch Era[link]
In 1638 the Dutch signed a treaty with King Rajasinha II of Kandy which assured the king assistance in his war against the Portuguese in exchange for a monopoly of the island's major trade goods. The Portuguese resisted the Dutch and the Kandyans, but were gradually defeated in their strongholds beginning in 1639.[16] The Dutch captured Colombo in 1656 after an epic siege, at the end of which a mere 93 Portuguese survivors were given safe conduct out of the fort. Although the Dutch, (e.q. Rijcklof van Goens) initially restored the captured area back to the Sinhalese Kings, they later refused to turn them over and gained control over the island's richest cinnamon lands including Colombo which then served as the capital of the Dutch maritime provinces under the control of the Dutch East India Company until 1796.[16][17]
The British era[link]
Although the British captured Colombo in 1796, it remained a British military outpost until the Kandyan Kingdom was ceded to them in 1815 and they made Colombo the capital of their newly created crown colony of Ceylon. Unlike the Portuguese and Dutch before them, whose primary use of Colombo was as a military fort, the British began constructing houses and other civilian structures around the fort, giving rise to the current City of Colombo.[6]
Initially, they placed the administration of the city under a "Collector", and John Macdowell of the Madras Service was the first to hold the office. Then, in 1833, the Government Agent of the Western Province was charged with the administration of the city. Centuries of colonial rule had meant a decline of indigenous administration of Colombo, and in 1865 the British conceived a Municipal Council as a means of training the local population in self-governance. The Legislative Council of Ceylon constituted the Colombo Municipal Council in 1865 and the Council met for the first time on the January 16, 1866. At the time, the population of the region was around 80,000.[6]
During the time they were in control of the Colombo, the British were responsible for much of the planning of the present city. In some parts of the city tram car tracks and granite flooring laid during the era are still visible today.[17][18]
After independence[link]
This era of colonialism ended peacefully in 1948 when Ceylon gained independence from Britain.[19] Due to the tremendous impact this caused on the city's inhabitants and on the country as a whole, the changes that resulted at the end of the colonial period were drastic. An entire new culture took root. Changes in laws and customs, clothing styles, religions and proper names were a significant result of the colonial era.[19] These cultural changes were followed by the strengthening of the island's economy. Even today, the influence of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British is clearly visible in Colombo's architecture, names, clothing, food, language and attitudes. Buildings from all three eras stand in their glory as reminders of the turbulent past of Colombo. The city and its people show an interesting mix of European clothing and lifestyles together with local customs.[19]
Historically, Colombo referred to the area around the Fort and Pettah Market which is famous for the variety of products available as well as the Khan Clock Tower, a local landmark. At present, it refers to the city limits of the Colombo Municipal Council. More often, the name is used for the Conurbation known as Greater Colombo, which encompasses several Municipal councils including Kotte, Dehiwela and Colombo.
Although Colombo lost its status as the capital of Sri Lanka in the 1980s, it continues to be the island's commercial centre. Despite the official capital of Sri Lanka moving to the adjacent Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte, most countries still maintain their diplomatic missions in Colombo.[20]
Geography and climate[link]
Colombo's geography is a mix of land and water. The city has many canals and, in the heart of the city, the 65-hectare (160-acre) Beira Lake.[21] The lake is one of the most distinctive landmarks of Colombo, and was used for centuries by colonists to defend the city.[21] It remains a popular attraction, hosting regattas,[22] and theatrical events on its shores. The Northern and North-Eastern border of the city of Colombo is formed by the Kelani River, which meets the sea in a part of the city known as the Modera (mōdara in Sinhala) which means river delta.
Colombo features a tropical rainforest climate under the Köppen climate classification. Colombo's climate is fairly temperate all throughout the year. From March to April the temperature averages around 31 degrees Celsius (88 degrees Fahrenheit) maximum.[23] The only major change in the Colombo weather occurs during the monsoon seasons from May to August and October to January. This is the time of year where heavy rains can be expected. Colombo sees little relative diurnal range of temperature, although this is more marked in the drier winter months, where minimum temperatures average 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit). Rainfall in the city averages around 2,400 millimetres (94 in) a year.[24]

Government and politics[link]
Local government[link]
Colombo is a charter city, with a Mayor Council form of government. Colombo's mayor and the council members are elected through local government elections held once in five years. For the past 50 years the city had been ruled by the United National Party (UNP), a right leaning party, whose business friendly policies resonate with the population of Colombo. However the UNP nomination list for the 2006 Municipal elections was rejected,[28] and an Independent Group supported by the UNP won the elections.[29] Uvais Mohamed Imitiyas was subsequently appointed Mayor of Colombo.[30]
The city government provides sewer, road management and waste management services, in case of water, electricity and telephone utility services the council liaises with the water supply and drainage board, the Ceylon electricity board and telephone service providers.

National capital[link]
Colombo was the capital of the coastal areas controlled by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British from the 1700s to the 1815 when the British gained control of the entire island following the Kandian convention. From then until the 1980s the national capital of the island was Colombo. During the 1980s plans were made to move the administrative capital to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte and thus move all governmental institutions out of Colombo to make way for commercial activities. As a primary step the Parliament was moved to a new complex in Kotte and several ministries and departments were also moved. However the move was never completed. Today many governmental institutions still remain in Colombo. These include the President's House, Presidential Secretariat, Prime Minister's House (Temple Trees), Prime Minister's Office, the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, Central Bank of Sri Lanka, important government ministries and departments; such as Finance (Treasury), Defence, Public Administration & Home affairs, Foreign affairs, Justice and the Military headquarters, Naval headquarters (SLNS Parakrama), Air Force headquarters (SLAF Colombo) and Police national and field force headquarters.[32][33]
Suburbs[link]
Colombo is divided into 15 numbered areas for the purposes of postal services. Within these areas are the suburbs with their corresponding post office.
| Postal zones | Suburbs |
| Colombo 1 | Fort |

The great majority of Sri Lankan corporations have their head offices in Colombo. Some of the industries include chemicals, textiles, glass, cement, leather goods, furniture, and jewellery. In the city centre is located South Asia's second tallest building – The World Trade Centre. The 40 story Twin Tower complex is the centre of important commercial establishments, situated in the Fort district, the city's nerve center. Right outside the Fort area is Pettah which is derived from the Sinhalese word pita which means out or outside as it is outside the Fort.[citation needed]
Pettah is more crowded than the fort area. Pettah's roads are always packed and pavements are full of small stalls selling from delicious Sherbat to Shirts. Main Street consists mostly of clothes shops and the cross roads, which are literally known as Cross Streets where each of the five streets specializes in a specific business. For example the First Cross Street is mostly electronic goods shops, the Second, cellular phones and fancy goods. Most of these businesses in Pettah are dominated by Muslim traders. At the end of the main street further away from Fort is the Sea Street, Sri Lanka's Gold market – dominated by Tamil interests. This mile-long street is full of jewellery shops.[citation needed]
The Colombo Metropolitan Region (CMR) encompasses the country's administrative capital Kotte and Colombo. Found within the borders of the CMR is 80% of the country's industries and over 60% of all vehicles plying Sri Lankan roads.[citation needed]. The per capita income of the Western Province, of which [Colombo] is the capital city stood at USD 3,808, making it one of the most prosperous regions in South Asia.[34]
At one time Air Lanka (now SriLankan Airlines) had its head office in Colombo.[35]
Law enforcement and crime[link]
The Sri Lanka Police the main law enforcement agency of the island liaise with the municipal council, but is under the control of the Ministry of Defence of the central government.[36] Policing in Colombo and its suburbs falls within the Metropolitan Range headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Metropolitan), this also includes the Colombo Crime Division.[37] As with most Sri Lankan cities, the magistrate court handles felony crimes, the district court handles civil cases.
As in other large cities around the world, Colombo experiences certain levels of street crime and bribery. In addition, in the period from the 1980s to 2009 there have been a number of major terrorist attacks.[38][39] The LTTE has been linked to most of the bombings and assassinations in the city.[40] Welikada Prison is situated in Colombo and it is one of the largest maximum-security prisons in the country.[41]
Infrastructure[link]
Colombo has most of the amenities that a modern city has. Compared to other parts of the country, Colombo has the highest degree of infrastructure. Electricity, water and transport to street lamps, phone booths and etc. have a considerably good standard. The majority of the major shopping malls in Sri Lanka are located in the city, of which all are wi-fi enabled. Apart from that, many luxurious hotels, clubs and restaurants are also situated in the city. In recent times there's been an outpour of high rise condominiums in the city, mainly due to the very high land prices.
Port of Colombo[link]
The largest and one of the busiest ports in Sri Lanka, the Colombo Harbour is located in this city. Colombo was established primarily as a port city during the colonial era, with an artificial harbour that has been expanded over the years. The Sri Lanka Navy maintains a naval base, SLNS Rangalla within the harbour.
The Port of Colombo handled 3.75 million twenty-foot equivalent units in 2008, 10.6% up on 2007 (which itself was 9.7% up on 2006), bucking the global economic trend. Of those, 817,000 were local shipments with the rest transshipments. The port is close to its capacity for container handling. An expansion project, the South Harbour project, will increase the port's capacity.[42]
Transport[link]
Colombo has an extensive public transport system based on buses operated both by private operators and the government owned Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB). The three primary bus terminals in the city: Bastian Mawatha, Central, and the Gunasinghapura Bus Terminal are located in Pettah. Bastian Mawatha handles long distance services whereas Gunasinghapura & Central handle local services.
Train transport within the city is limited since most trains are meant for transport to and from the city rather than within the city and are often overcrowded. However the Central Bus Stand and Fort Railway Station functions as the island's primary hub for bus and rail transport respectively. Up until the 1970s the city had tram services, which were discontinued. Other means of transport includes auto rickshaws (commonly called "three wheelers" in Sri Lanka) and taxicabs. Three wheelers are entirely operated by individuals and hardly regulated whilst cab services are run by private companies and are metered.
Construction of the Colombo Metro Rail, a Mass Rapid Transit railway system, similar to that of other advanced Asian cities has begun. The project was established to control the excessive traffic in the city. The project is carried out by NEB Rapid Infrastructure Projects Pvt.Ltd., an Indian and Singaporean collaboration.[43][44]
Post-war development in the Colombo area also involves the construction of numerous expressway grade arterial road routes. The first of these constructed is the Southern Expressway, which goes from Kottawa, a southern suburb of Colombo, to Matara in the south of the country. Expressways under construction in the Colombo metropolitan area include the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway which is due to be opened at the end of 2012 and the Colombo orbital bypass Arthur C. Clarke Expressway which is due to be opened in 2014.[45][46]
Bandaranaike International Airport serves the city for all International flights while the Ratmalana Airport serves all local flights.

Landmarks[link]
The two World Trade Centre towers used to be the most recognized landmarks of the city. Before these towers were completed in 1997, the adjacent Bank of Ceylon tower was the tallest structure and the most prominent landmark of the city. Before the skyscrapers were built it was the Old Parliament Building that stood majestically in the Fort district with the Old Colombo Lighthouse situated close to it. Another important landmark of the city is the Independence Hall at Independence Square in Cinnamon Gardens.
Even before the parliament was built some claim that the Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque was recognized as the landmark of Colombo by sailors approaching the port. The mosque is still one of the most visited tourist sites in Colombo.
Another landmark is St.Paul's Church Milagiriya, one of the oldest churches in Sri Lanka, first built by the Portuguese and re-built by the British in 1848.
The Fort district also has the famous Cargills & Millers complex that is protected by a special government law from demolition. This is done mainly to preserve the historic beauty of the Fort area.
The Galle Face Green is the city's largest and most elegant promenade. Lined with palm trees and adjacent to the coast, this mile-long stretch in the heart of the city is a constant beehive of activity. The green is especially busy on Fridays and Saturdays. In the evenings it plays host to families and children playing sports and flying kites, lovers embracing under umbrellas and health enthusiasts taking their daily evening walks. There are numerous small food stalls and a small stretch of beach to get wet. The green was recently given a make over and since then has been even more popular with the local community. The Green also frequently hosts numerous international and local concerts and performances, such as the recently concluded World Drum Festival.
Cannons that were once mounted on the rampart of the old fort of Colombo laid out for observance and prestige at the Green, giving a colonial touch to the city. The famous colonial styled Galle Face Hotel, known as Asia's Emerald on the Green since 1864, is also adjacent to Galle Face Green. The Hotel has played host to distinguished guests including the British Royal Family and other Royal Guests and Celebrities. Apparently after having stayed at the hotel, Princess Alexandra of Denmark had commented that "the peacefulness and generosity encountered at the Galle Face Hotel cannot be matched".[48] Around the corner from Galle Face are prominent coffee bars, chic bars and boutiques.
Education[link]
Education institutions in Colombo have a long history. Colombo has many of the prominent public schools in the country, some of them government owned and others private. Most of the prominent schools in the city date back to the 1800s when they were established during the British colonial rule,[49] such as the Royal College Colombo (1835). Certain urban schools of Sri Lanka have some religious alignment, this is partly due to the influence of British who established Christian missionary schools,[50][51] these include the Anglican, Bishop's College(1875); the Buddhist, Ananda College (1886); the Muslim, Zahira College (1892); the Catholic, St. Joseph's College (1896). These religious alignments do not affect the curriculum of the school except for the demographics of the student population.[50]
Higher education in the city has a long history, beginning with the establishment of the Colombo Medical College (1870), the Colombo Law College (1875), School of Agriculture (1884) and the Government Technical College (1893). The first step in the creation of a University in Colombo was taken in 1913 with the establishment of the University College Colombo which prepared students for the external examinations of the University of London, this was followed by the establishment of the University of Ceylon in Colombo.[52] Today the University of Colombo and the University of the Visual & Performing Arts are state universities in the city. The Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology also has a metropolitan campus in the centre of the city. There are several private higher education institutions within the city.

Architecture[link]
Colombo has wildly varying architecture that span centuries and depict various styles. Many colonial buildings influenced by the Portuguese, Dutch and British exist alongside structures built in Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Indian and Contemporary architectural styles. No other place is this more evident in the heart of the city the Fort area. Here one may find new towering skyscrapers as well as historic buildings dating far back as the 1700s.[53][54]
Colombo Fort[link]
The Portuguese were the first colonist to settle in Colombo, establishing a small trading post they had laid the foundations for a small fort which in time became the largest colonial fort in the island. The Dutch expanded the fort thus creating a well old fortified harbour. This came in to the possession of the British in the late 1700s and by the late 19th century the seeing no threat to the Colombo Harbour, began demolishing the ramparts to make way for the development of the city. Although now there is nothing left of the fortifications the area which was once the fort is still referred to as Fort and the area out side the fort; Pettah or pita-koutuwa in Sinhalese which means outer fort.[53][54]
Dutch era buildings[link]
There are none of the buildings of the Portuguese era and only a few from the Dutch period. These include the oldest building in the fort area, the former Dutch Hospital, the Dutch House which is now the Colombo Dutch Museum and several churches. The President's House (formerly the Queen's House) have originally been the Dutch governor's house, and successive British Governors made it their office and residence. However, it has undergone much change since the Dutch period. Adjoining the President's House are the Gordon Gardens, now off limits to the public.[53][54][55]
British-era buildings[link]
Much of the old buildings of the fort area and in other parts of the city date back to the British times, these include governmental, commercial buildings and private houses. Some of the notable government building of British colonial architecture includes; the old Parliament building which is now the Presidential Secretariat, the Republic Building which houses the Ministry of Foreign affairs, but once housed the Ceylon Legislative council, the General Treasury Building, the old General Post Office an Edwardian style building opposite the President's House, the Prime Minister's Office, the Central Telegraph Office, the Mathematics department of the University of Colombo (formally the Royal College, Colombo).[56] Notable commercial buildings of the British era include, the Galle Face Hotel, Cargills & Millers complex, Grand Oriental Hotel.[53][54]
Culture[link]
Annual cultural events and fairs[link]
Colombo's most beautiful festival is the celebration of Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Death all falling on the same day.[57] In Sinhala this is known as Vesak.[57] During this festival, much of the city is decorated with lanterns, lights and special displays of light(known as Thoran). The festival falls in mid May and lasts a week when many Sri Lankans visit the city to see the lantern competitions and decorations. During this week people distribute, rice, drinks and various other food items for free in places what is known as Dunsal which means charity place. These Dunsal are popular amongst visitors from the suburbs.
Christmas is another major festival in the city. Although Sri Lanka's Christians make up only just over 7% of the population, Christmas is one of the island's biggest festivals. Most streets and commercial buildings light up from the beginning of December and festive sales begin at all shopping centres and department stores. Caroling and nativity plays are also frequent sights during the season.
The 'sinhala & Hindu aluth awurudda' is another cultural event that takes place in April. This is the celebration of the Sinhala and Hindu new year. The festivities take place on 13 and 14 April and include many events and traditions that display a great deal of Sri Lankan culture.

Performing arts[link]
Colombo has several performing arts centers which are popular for their musical and theatrical performances. The most famous performing arts centers are the Lionel Wendt Theater, the Elphinstone and the Tower Hall, all of which have a very rich history and made for western style productions.

Colombo does not boast a very big art gallery. There is a small collection of Sri Lankan masterpieces at the Art Gallery in Green Path next to it is the Natural History Museum.

John Joseph Gotti, Jr (October 27, 1940 – June 10, 2002) was an American mobster who became the Boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City. Gotti and his brothers grew up in poverty and turned to a life of crime at an early age. Operating out of the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, Gotti quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the crime family's biggest earners and a protégé of Gambino family underboss Aniello Dellacroce.
After the FBI indicted members of Gotti's crew for selling narcotics, Gotti took advantage of growing dissent over the leadership of the crime family. Fearing he and his men would be killed by Gambino crime family Boss Paul Castellano for selling drugs, Gotti organized the murder of Castellano in December 1985 and took over the family shortly thereafter. This left Gotti as the boss of the most powerful crime family in America, one that made hundreds of millions of dollars a year from construction, hijacking, loan sharking, gambling, extortion and other criminal activities. Gotti was the most powerful crime boss during his era and became widely known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style, which gained him favor with much of the general public. While his peers avoided attracting attention, especially from the media, Gotti became known as the "The Dapper Don" for his expensive clothes and personality in front of news cameras. He was later given the nickname "The Teflon Don" after three high-profile trials in the 1980s resulted in his acquittal, though it was later revealed that the verdicts were the result of jury tampering and juror misconduct. Law enforcement authorities were not impressed with his style or reputation, however, and they continued gathering evidence against Gotti that helped lead to his downfall.
Gotti's underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano is credited with the FBI's success in finally convicting Gotti. In 1991, Gravano agreed to turn state's evidence and testify for the prosecution against Gotti after hearing Gotti on wiretap make several disparaging remarks about Gravano and questioning his loyalty. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, illegal gambling, extortion, tax evasion, and loansharking. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole and was transferred to United States Penitentiary, Marion. Gotti died of throat cancer on June 10, 2002, at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri.

Early life[link]
John Gotti was born in an Italian-American enclave in the Bronx on October 27, 1940.[1] He was the fifth of the thirteen children of John Joseph Gotti Sr. and his wife Philomena (referred to as Fannie).[1][2] John was one of five brothers who would become made men in the Gambino Family;[3] Eugene Gotti was initiated before John due to the latter's incarceration.[4] Peter Gotti was initiated under John's leadership in 1988,[5] and Richard V. Gotti was identified as a Capo by 2002.[3] The fifth, Vincent, was not initiated until 2002.[6]
Gotti grew up in poverty. His father worked irregularly as a day laborer and indulged in gambling, and as an adult Gotti came to resent him for being unable to provide for his family.[2] In school Gotti had a history of truancy and bullying other students and ultimately dropped out, while attending Franklin K. Lane High School, at the age of 16.[7][8]
Gotti was involved in street gangs associated with New York mafiosi from the age of 12.[7] When he was 14, he was attempting to steal a cement mixer from a construction site when it fell, crushing his toes; this injury left him with a permanent limp.[7] After leaving school he devoted himself to working with the mafia-associated Fulton-Rockaway Boys gang, where he met and befriended fellow future Gambino mobsters Angelo Ruggiero and Wilfred "Willie Boy" Johnson.[7][9]
Gotti met his future wife, Victoria DiGiorgio, in 1958.[10] The couple had their first child, a daughter named Angel, in 1961,[10][11] and were married on March 6, 1962.[12] They would have four more children, another daughter (Victoria) and three sons (John, Frank and Peter). Gotti attempted to work legitimately in 1962 as a presser in a coat factory and as an assistant truck driver. However, he could not stay crime free and by 1966 had been jailed twice.
Gambino crime family[link]
Associate[link]
Gotti's criminal career began when he became an associate of Carmine Fatico, a capo in what became the Gambino family after the murder of Albert Anastasia.[13] Together with his brother Gene and Ruggiero, Gotti carried out truck hijackings at Idlewild Airport (subsequently renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport).[14] During this time, Gotti befriended fellow mob hijacker and future Bonanno family boss Joseph Massino and was given the nicknames "Black John" and "Crazy Horse."[14][15] It was also around this time that Gotti met Gambino underboss Aniello "Neil" Dellacroce.[16]
In February 1968, United Airlines employees identified Gotti as the man who had signed for stolen merchandise; the FBI arrested him for the United hijacking soon after. Two months later, while out on bail, Gotti was arrested a third time for hijacking—this time for stealing a load of cigarettes worth $50,000, on the New Jersey Turnpike. Later that year, Gotti pleaded guilty to the Northwest Airlines hijacking and was sentenced to three years at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.[14] Prosecutors dropped the charges for the cigarette hijacking. Gotti also pleaded guilty to the United hijacking and spent less than three years at Lewisburg.
Gotti and Ruggiero were paroled in 1972 and returned to their old crew at the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club, still working under caporegime Carmine Fatico. Gotti was transferred to management of the Bergin crew's illegal gambling, where he proved himself to be an effective enforcer.[17] Fatico was indicted on loansharking charges in 1972. As a condition of his release, he could not associate with known felons. Although Gotti was not yet a made man in the Mafia due to the membership books having been closed since 1957, Fatico named Goti the acting capo of the Bergin Crew soon after Gotti was paroled.[18] In his new role, he frequently traveled to Dellacroce's headquarters at the Ravenite Social Club to brief the underboss on the crew's activities. Dellacroce had already taken a liking to Gotti, and the two became even closer during this time. The two were very similar--both had strong violent streaks, cursed a lot and were heavy gamblers.[19]
In 1973, after Carlo Gambino's nephew Emanuel Gambino was kidnapped and murdered, John Gotti was assigned to the hit team alongside Ruggiero and Ralph Galione for the main suspect, Irish-American gangster James McBratney.[12] The team botched their attempt to abduct McBratney at a Staten Island bar, and Galione shot McBratney dead when his accomplices managed to restrain him. Identified by eyewitnesses and a police Bergin insider, Gotti was arrested for the killing in June 1974.[20] With the help of attorney Roy Cohn, however, he was able to strike a plea bargain and received a four-year sentence for attempted manslaughter for his part in the hit.[4]
After his death Gotti was also identified by Joseph Massino as the killer of Vito Borelli, a Gambino associate killed in 1975 for insulting Paul Castellano.[21][22]

Gotti was released in July 1977 after two years imprisonment. He was subsequently initiated into the Gambino family, now under the command of Paul Castellano, and immediately promoted to replace Fatico as Capo of the Bergin crew.[4] He and his crew reported directly to Dellacroce as part of the concessions given by Castellano to keep Dellacroce as underboss,[23] and Gotti was regarded as Dellacroce's protege.[24]
Under Gotti, the Bergin crew were the biggest earners of Dellacroce's crews.[4] Besides his cut of his subordinates' earnings, Gotti ran his own loan sharking operation and held a no-show job as a plumbing supply salesman.[25] Unconfirmed allegations by FBI informants in the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club claimed Gotti also financed drug deals.[24][26]
Gotti would try to keep most of his family uninvolved with his life of crime, with the exception of his son John Angelo Gotti, commonly known as John Gotti Jr., who by 1982 was a mob associate.[27]
On March 18, 1980, Gotti's youngest son, 12-year-old Frank Gotti, was run over and killed on a family friend's minibike by John Favara, a neighbor.[28] While Frank's death was ruled an accident, Favara subsequently received death threats and, when he visited the Gottis to apologize, was attacked by Victoria Gotti with a baseball bat.[29][30] On July 28, 1980, he was abducted and disappeared, presumed murdered.[28] While the Gottis were on vacation in Florida at the time, John Gotti is still presumed to have ordered the killing,[31] an allegation considered probable by John, Jr., while denied by his daughter Victoria.[10][27]
In his last two years as the Bergin Capo, Gotti was indicted on two occasions, with both cases coming to trial after his ascension to Gambino Boss. In September 1984 Gotti was in an altercation with refrigerator mechanic Romual Piecyk, and was subsequently charged with assault and robbery.[32][33] In 1985 he was indicted alongside Dellacroce and several Bergin crew members in a racketeering case by Assistant US Attorney Diane Giacalone.[8][34] The indictment also revealed that Gotti's friend "Willie Boy" Johnson, one of his co-defendants, had been an FBI informant.[34]
Taking over the Gambino family[link]
Gotti rapidly became dissatisfied with Paul Castellano's leadership, considering the new boss too isolated and greedy.[35][36]
In August 1983, Ruggiero and Gene Gotti were arrested for dealing heroin, based primarily on recordings from a bug in Ruggiero's house.[37][38] Castellano, who had banned made men from his family from dealing drugs under threat of death, demanded transcripts of the tapes,[37][39] and when Ruggiero refused he threatened to demote Gotti.[40]
In 1984, Castellano was arrested and indicted in a RICO case for the crimes of Gambino hitman Roy DeMeo's crew.[41][42] The following year he received a second indictment for his role in the American Mafia's Commission.[40] Facing life imprisonment for either case, Castellano arranged for John Gotti to serve as an acting boss alongside Thomas Bilotti, Castellano's favorite capo, and Thomas Gambino in his absence.[43][44] Gotti, meanwhile, began conspiring with fellow disgruntled Gambino family members Sammy Gravano, Frank DeCicco, Robert DiBernardo and Joseph Armone (collectively dubbed "the Fist" by themselves) to overthrow Castellano, insisting despite the boss' inaction that Castellano would eventually try to kill him.[45] The conspirators had the support of the bosses-in-waiting of the other families in the Commission case as well as the complicity of Gambino consigliere Joseph N. Gallo.[45][46]
After Dellacroce died of cancer on December 2, 1985, Castellano revised his succession plan: appointing Bilotti as underboss to Thomas Gambino as the sole acting boss, while making plans to break up Gotti's crew.[47][48] Infuriated by this, and Castellano's refusal to attend Dellacroce's wake,[47][48] Gotti resolved to kill his boss.
DeCicco tipped Gotti off that he would be having a meeting with Castellano and several other Gambino mobsters at Sparks Steak House on December 16, 1985, and Gotti chose to take the opportunity.[49] The evening of the meeting, when the boss and underboss arrived, they were ambushed and shot dead by assassins under Gotti's command.[50] Gotti watched the hit from his car with Gravano.[51]
Several days after the murder, Gotti was named head of a three-man committee to temporarily run the family pending the election of a new boss, along with Gallo and DeCicco. It was also announced that an internal investigation into Castellano's murder was well underway. However, it was an open secret that Gotti was acting boss in all but name, and nearly all of the family's capos knew he'd been the one behind the hit. He was formally acclaimed as the new boss of the Gambino family at a meeting of 20 capos held on January 15, 1986.[52] He appointed his co-conspirator DeCicco as the new underboss while retaining Gallo as consigliere.[53][54]
Gambino boss[link]

This section requires expansion. |
Identified as both Paul Castellano's likely murderer and his successor, John Gotti rose to fame throughout 1986.[55][56] At the time of Gotti's takeover the Gambino family was regarded as the most powerful American mafia family,[57] with an annual income of $500 million.[58] In the book Underboss, Gravano estimated that Gotti himself had an annual income of not less than $5 million during his years as boss, and more likely between $10 and $12 million.[59]
To protect himself legally, Gotti banned members of the Gambino family from accepting plea bargains that acknowledged the existence of the organization.[60]
Gotti maintained a genial public image in an attempt to play down press releases that depicted him as a ruthless mobster. He reportedly would offer coffee to FBI agents assigned to tail him.[citation needed]
"The Teflon Don"[link]
Gotti's newfound fame had at least one positive effect; upon the revelation of his attacker's occupation, and amid reports of intimidation by the Gambinos, Romual Piecyk decided not to testify against Gotti, and when the trial commenced in March 1986 he testified he was unable to remember who attacked him. The case was promptly dismissed, with the New York Daily News summarizing the proceedings with the headline "I Forgotti!"[33][61]
On April 13, 1986, underboss DeCicco was killed when his car was bombed following a visit to Castellano loyalist James Failla. The bombing was carried out by Lucchese capos Victor Amuso and Anthony Casso, under orders of bosses Anthony Corallo and Vincent Gigante, to avenge Castellano and Bilotti by killing their successors; Gotti also planned to visit Failla that day but canceled, and the bomb was detonated after a soldier who rode with DeCicco was mistaken for the boss.[62] Bombs had long been banned by the American Mafia out of concern that it would put innocent people in harm's way, leading the Gambinos to initially suspect that Zips (Sicilian mafiosi working in the United States) were behind it; Zips were well known for using bombs.[63]
Following the bombing Judge Eugene Nickerson, presiding over Gotti's racketeering trial, rescheduled to avoid a jury tainted by the resulting publicity while Giacalone had Gotti's bail revoked due to evidence of intimidation in the Piecyk case.[64][65] From jail, Gotti ordered the murder of Robert DiBernardo by Sammy Gravano; both DiBernardo and Ruggiero had been vying to succeed DeCicco until Ruggiero accused DiBernardo of challenging Gotti's leadership.[66] When Ruggiero, also under indictment, had his bail revoked for his abrasive behavior in preliminary hearings, a frustrated Gotti instead promoted Joseph Armone to underboss.[67]
Jury selection for the racketeering case began again in August 1986,[68] with John Gotti standing trial alongside Gene Gotti, "Willie Boy" Johnson (who, despite being exposed as an informant, refused to turn state's evidence[69]), Leonard DiMaria, Tony Rampino, Nicholas Corozzo and John Carneglia.[70] At this point, the Gambinos were able to compromise the case when George Pape, a friend of Westies boss Bosko Radonjich, was empaneled; through Radonjich Pape contacted Gravano and agreed to sell his vote on the jury for $60,000. Pape's actions meant that Gotti entered the courtroom knowing that he was at least assured of a hung jury.[71]
In the trial's opening statements on September 25, Gotti's defense attorney Bruce Cutler denied the existence of the Gambino Crime Family and framed the government's entire effort as a personal vendetta.[72] His main defense strategy during the prosecution was to attack the credibility of Giacalone's witnesses by discussing their crimes committed before their turning states'.[73] In Gotti's defense Cutler called bank robber Matthew Traynor, a would-be prosecution witness dropped for unreliability, who testified that Giacalone offered him drugs and her panties as a masturbation aid in exchange for his testimony; Traynor's allegations would be dismissed by Judge Nickerson as "wholly unbelievable" after the trial, and he was subsequently convicted of perjury.[73][74]
Despite Cutler's defense and critiques about the prosecution's performance, according to mob writers Jerry Capeci and Gene Mustain, when the jury's deliberations began a majority were in favor of convicting Gotti. Pape, however, held out for acquittal until the rest of the jury began to fear their own safety was compromise.[71] On March 13, 1987, they acquitted Gotti and his codefendants of all charges.[70] Five years later Pape was convicted of obstruction of justice for his part in the fix.[75]
In the face of previous Mafia convictions, particularly the success of the Commission trial, Gotti's acquittal was a major upset that further added to his reputation.[76] The American media dubbed Gotti "The Teflon Don" in reference to the failure of any charges to "stick."[77]
Reorganization[link]
While Gotti himself had escaped conviction, his associates were not so lucky. The other two men in the Gambino administration, underboss Armone and consigliere Gallo, had been indicted on racketeering charges in 1986 and were both convicted in December 1987.[78] The heroin trial of Gotti's former fellow Bergin crewmembers Ruggiero and Gene Gotti also commenced in June of that year.[79]
Prior to their convictions, Gotti allowed Gallo to retire and promoted Sammy Gravano in his place while slating Frank Locascio to serve as acting underboss in the event of Armone's imprisonment.[80] The Gambinos also worked to compromise the heroin trial's jury, resulting in two mistrials.[81] When the terminally ill Ruggiero was severed and released in 1989, Gotti refused to contact him, blaming him for the Gambino's misfortunes. According to Gravano, Gotti also considered murdering Ruggiero and when he finally died "I literally had to drag him to the funeral."[82]
Beginning in January 1988 Gotti, against Gravano's advice,[83] required his capos to meet with him at the Ravenite Social Club once a week.[84] Regarded by Gene Gotti as an unnecessary vanity-inspired risk,[85] and by FBI Gambino squad leader Bruce Mouw as antithematic to the "secret society"[86], this move allowed FBI surveillance to record and identify much of the Gambino hierarchy.[86] The FBI also bugged the Ravenite, but failed to produce any high-quality incriminating recordings.[86]
1988 also saw Gotti, Gigante and the new Lucchese boss Victor Amuso attending the first Commission meeting since the Commission trial.[87] In 1986, future Lucchese underboss Anthony Casso had been injured in an unauthorized hit by Gambino capo Mickey Paradiso.[62][88] The following year, the FBI warned Gotti they had recorded Genovese consigliere Louis Manna discussing another hit on John and Gene Gotti.[87] To avoid a war, the leaders of the three families met, denied knowledge of their violence against one another, and agreed to "communicate better."[89] The bosses also agreed to allow Colombo acting boss Victor Orena to join the Commission, but Gigante, wary of giving Gotti a majority by admitting another ally, blocked the reentry of the Bonannos' and Joseph Massino.[87]
Gotti was nevertheless able to take control of the New Jersey DeCavalcante crime family in 1988. According to the DeCavalcante capo-turned-informant Anthony Rotondo, Gotti attended his father's wake with numerous other Gambino mobsters in a "show of force" and forced boss John Riggi to agree to run his family on the Gambino's behalf.[90] The DeCavalcantes remained in the Gambino's sphere of influence until John Gotti's imprisonment.[91]
Gotti's son John Gotti Jr. was initiated into the Gambino family on Christmas Eve 1988.[92] According to fellow mobster Michael DiLeonardo, initiated in the same night, Gravano held the ceremony to keep Gotti from being accused of nepotism.[92] John Jr. was promptly promoted to capo.[27]
Assault acquittal[link]
|
This section requires expansion. |
On the evening of January 23, 1989, John Gotti was arrested outside the Ravenite and charged with ordering the 1986 assault of union official John O'Connor.[93] O'Connor, a leader in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local 608 who was later convicted of racketeering himself,[94] was believed to have ordered an attack on a Gambino-associated restaurant that had snubbed the union and was subsequently shot and wounded by the Westies.[93] To link Gotti to the case, state prosecutors had a recording of Gotti discussing O'Connor and announcing his intention to "Bust him up," and the testimony of Westies gangster James McElroy.[95]
Gotti was released on $100,000 bail.[96]
1992 conviction[link]
On December 11, 1990, FBI agents and New York City detectives raided the Ravenite Social Club, arresting Gotti, Gravano and Frank Locascio.[97] Gotti was charged, in this new racketeering case, with five murders (Castellano and Bilotti, Robert DiBernardo, Liborio Milito and Louis Dibono) conspiracy to murder Gaetano "Corky" Vastola, loansharking, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, bribery and tax evasion.[98][99] Based on tapes from FBI bugs played at pretrial hearings the Gambino administration was denied bail and attorneys Bruce Cutler and Gerald Shargel were both disqualified from defending Gotti after determining they had worked as "in-house counsel" for the Gambino organization.[100][101] Gotti subsequently hired Albert Krieger, a Miami attorney who had worked with Joseph Bonanno, to replace Cutler.[102][103]
The tapes also created a rift between Gotti and Gravano, showing the Gambino boss describing his newly-appointed underboss as too greedy and attempting to frame Gravano as the main force behind the murders of DiBernardo, Milito and Dibono.[104][105] Gotti's attempt at reconciliation failed,[106] leaving Gravano disillusioned with the mob and doubtful on his chances of winning the newest case without Shargel, his former attorney.[107][108] Gravano ultimately opted to turn state's evidence, formally agreeing to testify on November 13, 1991.[109]
Gotti and Locascio were tried in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York before United States District Judge I. Leo Glasser. Jury selection began in January 1992, with the empaneled jury being kept anonymous and, for the first time in a Brooklyn Federal case, fully sequestered during the trial due to Gotti's reputation for jury tampering.[110][111] The trial commenced with the prosecution's opening statements on February 12;[112][113] prosecutors Andrew Maloney and John Gleeson began their case by playing tapes showing Gotti discussing Gambino family business, including murders he approved, and confirming the animosity between Gotti and Castellano to establish the former's motive to kill his boss.[114] After calling an eyewitness of the Sparks hit who identified Gotti associate John Carneglia as one of the men who shot Bilotti they then brought Gravano to testify on March 2.[115][116][117]
On the stand Gravano confirmed Gotti's place in the structure of the Gambino family and described in detail the conspiracy to assassinate Castellano and gave a full description of the hit and its aftermath.[118] Krieger, and Locasio's attorney Anthony Cardinale, proved unable to shake Gravano during cross-examination.[119][120] After additional testimony and tapes the government rested its case on March 24.[121]
Five of Krieger and Cardinale's intended six witnesses were ruled irrelevant or extraneous, leaving only Gotti's tax attorney Murray Appleman to testify on his behalf.[121][122] The defense also attempted unsuccessfully to have a mistrial declared based on Maloney's closing remarks.[123][124] Gotti himself became increasingly hostile during the trial,[125] and at one point Glasser threatened to remove him from the courtroom.[121][126] Among other outbursts, Gotti called Gravano a junkie while his attorneys sought to discuss Gravano's past steroid use,[127][128] and he equated the dismissal of a juror to the fixing of the 1919 World Series.[111][123]
On April 2, 1992, after only 14 hours of deliberation, the jury found Gotti guilty on all charges of the indictment (Locasio was found guilty on all but one). James Fox, director of the New York City FBI, announced at a press conference, "The Teflon is gone. The don is covered with Velcro, and all the charges stuck."[129][130] On June 23, 1992, Glasser sentenced both defendants to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and a $250,000 fine.[99][130][131]
Incarceration and death[link]
File:Image-Bureau of Prisons image - John Gotti.jpg
Last photo of John Gotti, taken by the Bureau of Prisons on October 17, 2001.
Gotti was incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois. He spent the majority of his sentence in effective solitary confinement, only allowed out of his cell for one hour a day.[1][132] His final appeal was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994.[133]
While in prison, Gotti offered at least $40,000 to the Aryan Brotherhood to kill Walter Johnson, a black inmate who had assaulted him. The Aryan Brotherhood accepted Gotti's offer. The prison guards surmised that Johnson was in danger and transferred him to another prison.[134] Gotti is also believed to have hired the Brotherhood for another aborted hit on Frank Locascio after learning the disgruntled acting consigliere sought to kill him.[135]
Despite his imprisonment, and pressure from the Commission to stand down,[136] Gotti is believed to have held on to his position as Gambino boss with his brother Peter and his son John A. Gotti Jr. relaying orders on his behalf.[137] By 1998, when he was indicted on racketeering, John Gotti Jr. was believed to be the acting boss of the family.[138] Against his father's wishes, John Jr. pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years and five months imprisonment in 1999.[27][139] He maintains he has since left the Gambino family.[140] Peter Gotti subsequently became acting boss,[141] and is believed to have formally succeeded his brother as boss shortly before John Gotti's death.[142]
John Jr.'s indictment brought further stress to John Gotti's marriage. Victoria DiGiorgio Gotti, up to that point unaware of her son's involvement in the mob, blamed her husband for ruining her son's life and threatened to leave him unless he allowed John Jr. to leave the mob.[10]
In 1998 Gotti was diagnosed with throat cancer and sent to the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri for surgery.[143] While the tumor was removed, the cancer was discovered to have returned two years later and Gotti was transferred back to Springfield, where he would spend the remainder of his life.[144][145]
Gotti's condition rapidly declined, and he died on June 10, 2002, at the age of 61.[1][146] Per John Jr., "If you look on his death certificate he choked on his own vomit and blood. He paid for his sins".[140] The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn announced that Gotti's family would not be permitted to have a Mass of Christian Burial but allowed it after the burial.[147]
Gotti's funeral was held in a nonchurch facility.[148] After the funeral, an estimated 300 onlookers followed the procession, which passed Gotti's Bergin Hunt and Fish Club, to the gravesite. John Gotti's body was interred in a crypt next to his son Frank Gotti. Gotti's brother Peter was unable to attend owing to his incarceration.[148] In an apparent repudiation of Gotti's leadership and legacy, the other New York families sent no representatives to the funeral.[58]
Portrayal in popular media[link]
As early as 1990 John Gotti was already such a prominent mobster as to be the inspiration for the character Joey Zasa, portrayed by Joe Mantegna, in The Godfather Part III.[149]
Following his conviction Gotti himself has been portrayed in four TV movies:
- Getting Gotti - 1994 CBS TV movie, portrayed by Anthony John Denison.[150]
- Gotti - 1996 HBO TV movie adapted from Gotti: Rise and Fall, portrayed by Armand Assante.[151]
- Witness to the Mob - 1998 NBC miniseries, portrayed by Tom Sizemore.[152]
- Boss of Bosses - 2001 TNT TV movie adapted from the book of the same name, portrayed by Sonny Marinelli.[153]
Another John Gotti biopic, also titled Gotti, is in preproduction for a theatrical release, with John Travolta cast as Gotti.[154]

Carmine Persico, Sr. was a legal stenographer for several law firms in Manhattan and provided his family with a comfortable living. The Persico family lived in the Carroll Gardens and Red Hook sections of Brooklyn. Carmine Persico Jr. dropped out of high school at age 16.[2] By then, he was a leader of the Garfield Boys, a Brooklyn street gang. However, one contemporary source says that in 1950 the 16 year-old Persico actually belonged to the South Brooklyn Boys, a successor gang to the Garfield Boys.[3] In March 1951, the 17 year-old Persico was arrested on charges of fatally beating another youth in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. However, all charges were eventually dropped.[4]
In the early 1950s, Profaci crime family capo Frank Abbatemarco recruited Carmine Persico Jr. into the crime family. At first, Persico did bookmaking and loansharking, then moved into burglaries and hijackings. During this decade, Persico was arrested over 12 times, but spent only a few days in jail. Persico also started working with Joe Gallo and his brothers Albert and Lawrence.[4]
Anastasia Murder[link]
In 1957, Persico allegedly participated in the murder of Albert Anastasia, the former leader of Murder Inc. and the boss of what was then the Anastasia crime family. Anastasia's underboss Carlo Gambino wanted control of the family and conspired with his allies, Genovese crime family boss Vito Genovese and Profaci boss Joseph Profaci to kill Anastasia. Profaci allegedly gave the job to Persico and the Gallo brothers.[5]
On October 25, 1957, Anastasia entered the barber shop of the Park Sheraton Hotel (now the Park Central Hotel) in Midtown Manhattan. As Anastasia relaxed in the barber chair, two men – scarves covering their faces – rushed in, shoved the barber out of the way, and fired at Anastasia. After the first volley of bullets, Anastasia allegedly lunged at his killers. However, the stunned Anastasia had actually attacked the gunmen's reflections in the wall mirror of the barber shop. The gunmen continued firing and finally killed Anastasia.[5]
No one was ever charged in the Anastasia killing, and there is an alternative theory that gunmen from the Patriarca crime family of New England performed the hit. In 1984, Persico allegedly boasted of the crime to a relative:
"The FBI knows who really hurt Anastasia. But that fag Crazy Joe Gallo took the credit."[5]
Profaci and Magliocco Regimes[link]
The Gallo Faction[link]
By the late 1950s, Persico and the Gallos were becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Profaci's leadership. Profaci demanded high tribute payments from the family members and was viewed by them as a wealthy autocrat. The first Colombo war started on November 4, 1959, when Profaci's gunmen murdered Frank Abbatemarco on a Brooklyn street. Abbatemarco had stopped paying tribute to Profaci earlier that year with the support of the Gallo faction. It is speculated that Gambino boss Carlo Gambino and Lucchese crime family Tommy Lucchese were encouraging the Gallos to challenge Profaci, their enemy. When Profaci took Abbatemarco's lucrative rackets away from the Gallos, the warfare began.[6][7]
In February 1961, the Gallo faction kidnapped Profaci underboss Joseph Magliocco and capo Joseph Colombo. After several weeks of negotiation, the Gallos reached an agreement with Profaci and released the two captives. However, six months later, Profaci reneged on the deal and war broke out again between the Gallos and the Profaci family.[8]
Changing Sides[link]
In August 1961, Persico betrayed the Gallo faction and attempted to murder Larry Gallo. Profaci had secretely contacted Persico and offered him some very lucrative rackets if he would switch sides. Persico agreed. On August 12, 1961, Larry Gallo met with Persico at the Sahara Lounge in Brooklyn to discuss war strategy. When Gallo arrived, Persico's men attacked him and Persico started strangling Gallo with a garrote. However, a passing policeman witnessed the attack, forcing Persico and his men to flee. Persico supposedly gained the nickname "Snake" from this act of treachery.[9] Persico was indicted later that year for attempted murder of Gallo, but the charges were dropped when Gallo refused to testify.[10]
On June 6, 1962, Profaci died of cancer and Maglicco became the new family boss. However, the war with the Gallo faction continued.[8]
In early 1963, the Gallos bombed Persico's car, but he escaped with minor injuries. On May 19, 1963, Gallo gunmen ambushed Persico in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn. A panel truck pulled alongside Persico's car and two men shot Persico in the face, hand, and shoulder.[11] Persico reportedly spat out the bullet that had entered his face.[12]
Soon after the May attempt on his life, Persico was imprisoned on extortion charges. By the fall of 1963, with Joey Gallo in prison also, the shooting war had ended with Magliocco the winner.
In late 1963, after an unsuccessful attempt to take over the Mafia Commission, Magliocco was forced out of the family. He was replaced by Joseph Colombo, who had alerted the Commission to Magliocco's plot. The Profaci crime family was now the Colombo crime family. In turn, Colombo rewarded the imprisoned Persico by naming him a capo.[12]
Colombo Regime[link]
Profitable crew[link]
After becoming Caporegime, Persico was constantly on the streets. Government witness Joe Valachi later testified that "Whenever business on the streets, Persico was always there".[citation needed] Persico was involved in labor racketeering, extortion, loansharking, illegal gambling, hijacking and especially murder for hire. By the later 1960s, Persico's crew was one of the most profitable crews in the Colombo family.
In 1968, Persico was convicted on federal hijacking charges after five separate trials dating back to 1960. On January 27, 1971, Persico was finally sent to prison on these charges, where he would spend eight years.[13] The trial was noted for the only appearance of former mobster Joseph Valachi as a prosecution witness.[14]
Colombo and Gallo Shootings[link]
In February 1971, Joey Gallo was released from prison. On June 28, 1971, Colombo was shot and severely wounded at the second annual Italian-American Civil Rights League rally in Manhattan. The shooter, Jerome Johnson, was immediately shot to death by Colombo's bodyguards. Colombo survived in a paralyzed state until his death on May 22, 1978. Police concluded that Johnson was the sole shooter.[15] Law enforcement and the Mafia assumed Gallo had organized the hit; Gallo had built ties with African-American gangsters and, upon his release, threatened to start another gang war unless he received $100,000 compensation.[16]
On November 11, 1971, Persico went on trial in state court on 37 counts of usuary, coercion, extortion, and conspiracy, all stemming from a loansharking operation out of a Manhattan fur shop.[17] On December 8, 1971, a jury acquitted Persico of all charges; all 12 prosecutions witnesses said they could not identify Persico.[18]
After the Colombo shooting, underboss Joseph Yacovelli assumed the role of acting boss. However, the Persico family essentially took control of the Colombos on the then-imprisoned Carmine's behalf,[19] with Carmine himself coordinating the suppression of the Gallos.[20] On April 7, 1972, Gallo was shot and killed by Persico gunmen as he was celebrating his birthday at Umberto's Clam House in Little Italy, Manhattan.[21]
Persico Regime[link]
Prison[link]
In 1973, Persico was imprisoned on hijacking and loansharking charges.[22] Persico's imprisonment coincided with the release of his brother Alphonse from 17 years in prison. Carmine Persico designated his brother Alphonse acting boss with support from Gennaro Langella and Carmine's brother Theodore Persico. In 1979, Carmine Persico was released from federal prison.
On August 11, 1981, Carmine Persico pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge of attempting to bribe an Internal Revenue Service special agent from 1977 through 1978 while in federal custody.[23] The evidence included a recording of Persico offering the agent $250,000 in exchange for getting Persico an early release from prison.[24] On November 9, 1981, Persico was sentenced to five years in federal prison.[25][26]
Federal fugitive[link]
On October 14, 1984, Carmine Persico and the rest of the Colombo family leadership were indicted on multiple racketeering charges as part of the "Colombo Trial".[27] After the indictment was published, Persico went into hiding. On October 26, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began a national manhunt for Persico.[28] On January 31, 1985 the FBI named Persico as the 390th Fugitive to be added to the Ten Most Wanted list.[29] Persico hid in the Wantagh, New York home of his cousin, mob associate Fred DeChristopher, who ultimately opted to turn him in and turn state's evidence.[30] Persico was arrested on February 15, 1985.[31]
On July 2, 1985, Persico was indicted, along with other New York Cosa Nostra leaders, on a second set of racketeering charges as part of the "Commission Trial". The aim of prosecutors was to strike at all the crime families at once using their involvement in the Mafia Commission.[32] According to Colombo hitman and FBI informant Gregory Scarpa, in late 1986 Persico and Gambino boss John Gotti backed a plan to kill the leading prosecutor and future New York City mayor Rudolph Guiliani, but it was rejected by the rest of the Commission.[33]
Life imprisonment[link]
Colombo and Commission trials[link]
At the start of the Commission trial, Persico decided to serve as his own lawyer (he was using an attorney for the Colombo trial). Persico believed that his history of convictions gave him sufficient experience to defend himself. His co-defendants vehemently disagreed with this decision, and the judge warned Persico that he would be waiving "incompetent counsel" as the grounds for an appeal.[34][35] Persico received a help counsel of lawyers to help guide him when the prosecutors asked him questions. Persico tried to project a friendly image to the jury and urged them to put aside any preconceptions about "the Mafia" or "Cosa Nostra",[34] Many believe that Persico inadvertently sabotaged his own defense by acknowledging criminal activities during his cross-examinations of prosecution witnesses.[36]
On June 14, 1986, Persico was convicted of racketeering in the Colombo Trial.[37] On November 17, 1986, Persico was sentenced to 39 years in prison in the Colombo Trial.[38] On November 19, 1986, Persico and the other Commission Trial defendants were convicted of all charges.[39] On January 13, 1987, a judge sentenced Persico to 100 years in prison as part of the Commission Trial, to run consecutively with his 39-year sentence in the Colombo trial.[40] New York Times organized-crime writer Selwyn Raab thought the Colombos were the most damaged by the trial, even though most of the top leaders of New York's Mafia families were sent to prison (the Lucchese family, for instance, lost its entire hierarchy). In his book, Five Families, Raab noted that Persico was only 53 years old at the time of the Commission Trial, and was far and away the youngest boss in New York though he'd already led the family for 14 years. By comparison, the other bosses were in their seventies, and would have likely passed the reins to men of Persico's generation even without the trial intervening.[41] Persico was sent to United States Penitentiary, Marion Federal Penitentiary near Marion, Illinois to serve both the Colombo Trial and Commission Trial sentences. Since parole had been abolished in the federal prison system in 1984, the sentence all but assured that Persico would die in prison.
Revenge[link]
In June 1987, Carmine Persico ordered a murder that would ultimately result in five murders. He ordered acting boss Joel Cacace to kill lawyer William Aronwald, a retired prosecutor who had allegedly been disrespectful to the Cosa Nostra. Cacace delegated the job to two hitmen who mistakenly killed the target's father, George Aronwald. In response to outrage from the other New York families, Cacace recruited two more gunmen to kill the first hit team. After those murders were accomplished, Cacace killed the second set of gunmen.[42] In 2004, Cacace would plead guilty to the Aronwald murder.[43] No charges were filed against Carmine Persico.
Brooklyn rivalry[link]
In 1988, soon after his final imprisonment, Carmine Persico dissolved the three-man ruling panel that was running the family and designated Vittorio "Vic" Orena, a loyal capo from Brooklyn, as the temporary acting boss. As he made it clear to the family, Orena would resign as acting boss when Carmine's son Alphonse Persico was released from prison.[44]
In 1990, the government transferred Carmine Persico to what was then the United States Penitentiary, Lompoc, in Lompoc, California. While at Lompoc, Persico established an Italian Cultural Club for the inmates. He socialized with people such as Patriarca crime family consigliere Joseph Russo and Lucchese crime family associate Anthony Senter. Persico formed the "Lompoc Four", a band in which Russo played guitar and Persico played drums.[45]
By 1991, Orena had became disgruntled with the current leadership scheme. Orena was tired of the constant stream of orders that he received from Persico in prison. He also resented the idea of eventually surrendering his control to Alphonse Persico.[46] Gambino boss John Gotti encouraged Orena's rebellion, hoping to depose one of his enemies, Carmine Persico, from the Mafia Commission. Gotti went so far as to label Persico a "rat", the worst possible accusation for a Cosa Nostra figure.[44][47]
In the spring of 1991, Orena made his move. He requested that consigliere Carmine Sessa quietly poll all the Colombo capos as to who they wanted as boss. However, Sessa did not poll the capos, but instead told Carmine Persico about Orena's plot. Persico then allegedly ordered Sessa to lead a team to kill Orena.[46]
On June 20, 1991, a five-man hit team led by Sessa parked on the street close to Orena's home on Long Island and waited for Orena to come home. As he was driving down the street, Orena recognized the men in the car and quickly sped away.[46] For the next several months, the Persico and Orena factions engaged in peace negotiations brokered by the Mafia Commission.[48] Despite Carmine Persico's claim as the legitimate boss, the Commission refused to take sides in the Colombo Conflict.
Third Colombo war[link]
On November 18, 1991, the Third Colombo War started when Orena lieutenant William Cutolo sent a hit team to try and kill Persico's top hitman, Gregory Scarpa, on a Brooklyn Street.[44] By the end of 1991, the two Colombo factions had traded several successful murder attempts. Responding to public outrage over the carnage, law enforcement threw resources into prosecuting the Colombo mobsters,[44] resulting in 68 indictments,[49] 58 convictions and ten mobsters turning states evidence.[50]
In December 1992, Orena was convicted of racketeering and murder and was sentenced to life in prison, dissolving his belligerent faction and leaving the Persicos in control again.[50][51]
Changing family structure[link]
With the end of the war with Orena, Persico had to set up another ruling structure for the family. Since Alphonse Persico was facing prosecution on new charges, Carmine Persico installed a ruling committee. This committee consisted of brother Theodore Persico, mobster Joseph Baudanza and Joseph Tomasello. In 1994, when Andrew Russo was released from prison, Persico disbanded the committee and designated Russo as acting boss. In 1996, Russo went to prison and Persico replaced him with his son Alphonse. In early 1999, with Alphonse in legal trouble, Persico made Joel Cacace the acting boss.
However, later in 1999, either Carmine or Alphonse Persico ordered Cutolo's murder. The recently released Alphonse Persico was facing new federal charges that threatened to send him back to prison, and they were worried about Cutolo seizing control of the family. On May 26, 1999, Alphonse Persico ordered Cutolo to meet him at a Brooklyn Park. Cutolo was then taken to a mob associate's apartment, murdered, and his body buried in Long Island.[52] Police would not recover the body until November 2008.[53]
Life sentence for Alphonse Persico[link]
On December 20, 2001, Alphonse Persico pleaded guilty to the loansharking charges, accepted a 13-year prison sentence, and agreed to forfeit $1 million.[54] On October 14, 2004, Alphonse Persico was indicted on federal racketeering charges, including conspiring to murder Cutolo and Joe Campanella. No charges were filed against Carmine Persico[55] However, the Cutolo murder trial ended in a mistrial due to juror deadlock.[56]
In 2004, with the conversion of Lompoc into a different correctional facility, the government transferred Carmine Persico to the Federal Correctional Complex, Butner, a medium correctional facility in North Carolina.[45]
On December 28, 2007, in a second trial, Alphonse Persico and DeRoss were convicted of Cutolo's murder.[57] Like his father, Alphonse Persico was sentenced to life in prison.[58]
Current leadership[link]
As of 2011, Carmine Persico is still the official boss of the Colombo crime family.[59] His current street boss is Andrew Russo, his official underboss is former rival John Franzese, the acting underboss is Benjamin Castellazzo and the consigliere is Richard Fusco.
In March 2010, the Reuters News Agency reported that Carmine Persico had been socializing in prison with convicted swindler Bernard Madoff.[60] The New York Post also reported that Persico loves to play pinochle and bocce with other mobsters and regale them with stories from his past.[61]
As of October 2011, Carmine Persico is serving life imprisonment at the Butner Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Medium in Butner, North Carolina. His projected release date is March 20, 2050--effectively a life sentence.[1] Raab wrote in Five Families that Persico's attempts to protect his own position and ensure that his son succeeded him nearly destroyed the Colombo family. By Raab's estimate, Persico's "deceitful schemes" led directly to 70 of his wiseguys and associates being sent to prison, as well as 12 deaths. [62]
