The Rise & Fall of the DiMeo Crime Family | The Sopranos Explained

Описание: In 1995, an old man in a federal courtroom heard the word "life," and a crime family that carried his name began a twelve-year slide toward a diner in Bloomfield and a screen that went black. This is the entire story of how the DiMeo crime family rose, peaked, and fell.

From Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo's life sentence and the empty throne he left behind, through the Johnny Boy and Junior generation, Jackie Aprile's acting reign, Tony's lightning-rod coronation of Junior, the first war, Richie Aprile, Feech La Manna, Ralph Cifaretto and the Esplanade, the alliance and rivalry with Johnny Sack's New York, Tony Blundetto, Adriana, Vito, Christopher's death, the coma, and Phil Leotardo's final war, this traces the structural decay under the money and asks one question: did the family die in the war with Phil, or had it been dead for years?
