In 2007, Italian authorities raided the Palermo villa of fugitive mobster Salvatore Lo Piccolo and discovered something unprecedented: a written document detailing the “Ten Commandments” of the Mafia.
In this video, former Colombo family Capo Michael Franzese reads through this historic, secret rulebook and compares the strict codes of the Sicilian Mafia to the realities of the American Cosa Nostra. Michael breaks down the true meaning behind the oath of Omerta, why the rules strictly forbid looking at another mobster’s wife, and tells a personal story about the lesson his captain taught him when he broke the strict rule about showing up late.

You should tell that story you told in your history channel doc about how Andrew made you wait for 5 hours for being late to a meeting the day before I love that doc btw, I've watched it probably a dozen times
Amen 🙏 I never call the police, I have threatened it before when I was scammed money that made me lose my house, CC, company, and also put me on the street living in my vehicle while I was terrified and very sick, but in the end I decided to leave things to God, God always protects me, and settles things when people do bad things to me…😊
I was in Sicily when this guy was arrested
The code was broken with.joe valachi
Not a wine guy, but if I see some somewhere I will buy a bottle. And I’ll drink it. And I’ll be drinking it with the expressed purpose of getting drunk!
Ok
A bottle of Michael franzese wine
And some STEAKS
ok I'm listening now
When Costello left the witness stand the chin stopped him, shook his hand and said “thanks Frank”
I've always found the best way to survive the mob is one rule:
Don't get involved with the mob. Don't do business with them. Don't interfere with their business, don't get in a position where you owe them a favor or money.
Number 6, love that story about your captain 😅 😓 phew 😂🫡🫡🫡🫡
the #1 rule, don't be a rat
I am 100% that italian police found these 10 rules written by aging mob boss in hiding..sure they made it up
Hello MICHAEL GOD KEEP YOU SAFE AND WATCH OVER YOU ALWAYS AND YOUR FAMILY
Since were on the franzese wines channel what wine would you guys recommend to a total wine beginner?
Not talking about brands etc just a type of wine someone one could recommend before I look at Michael's stuff😂 (something fruity and smooth would perfect)
Yes I'm that much of a beginner to wines but any feedback would be appreciated 👍❤
Rule Zero: Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.

I flew on a C130 with Tommaso Buscetta in Dec, 1984, but I didn't know who he was until many years later.
The 10th Commandment means no faqs.
Sounds simple enough
The more i watch you the more i think you did this long enough and you should just sell your wine and your pizza.
11. never rat to the feds
My old man always worked hard, and did the right thing. It's only years later that I realize where a lot of what he told me seems to have come from; he framed it as common sense though.
Jack Ruby did both clubs and cops. I'm not sure how to reconcile that with "mob adjacent."
For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, know that God works in mysterious ways, The Creator made the Rules, are His only and Judges accordingly, Humans may only obey as best as we are able, God is Merciful to those who are Repentant and act according to His Will, even if others do not understand the Truth…
0:27 if this is about pickle ball. No.John.. no….no! Tall ships. No. None of them.
If I have to tolerate any upsetting disappointment it will be because I forgive my family and my new friends.

Michael,
I believe you had to let your family handle everything right now to keep you righteous ❤️🩹
Not a great position…
Yet… new roots

franzese is the dirty lying rat that out lived the consequences
Hello again,
It’s so unstable to where the SSDI income was messed with. I can’t get a real credit report, so how do I attempt to even look into a vehicle, around these people who wanted me dead…
