Send us a text
Giuseppe “Joseph” Parisi while sitting in his jail cell penned a diary that serves as the foundation for this intriguing narrative. The epic unfolds in Southern Italy, where 17-year-old Giuseppe embarked on a journey to America. As the year 1920 marked the onset of Prohibition, a wave of feuds swept the nation, and West Springfield, MA, was no exception. The catalyst? The murder of Carlo Siniscalchi, the King of Little Italy, at the hands of Giuseppe.
This notorious event catapulted the story onto the national stage, sparking a mob war that lasted 13 years and a trial drew over 2000 spectators during the intense closing arguments. The jury, after contemplation, delivered a verdict that echoed through the corridors of justice.
In the aftermath, jurors united in signing a petition against the sentencing. Meanwhile, Carlo’s widow, Pasqualina, assumed the mantle of the Queen of Bootlegging, only to meet a tragic end as she was brutally murdered in front of her companion, who peculiarly escaped with just a minor injury. Was he trying to take control of her empire?
Fast forward to later years, Giuseppe, now seeking citizenship, found himself filing papers alongside his former attorney, now holding the esteemed position of the governor of Massachusetts. Nick tantalizes you with a sneak peek into his forthcoming book, promising another riveting tale.
