Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Vito Bonventre (1875 – July 15, 1930) was a New York mobster involved in bootlegging with Brooklyn mobster Cola Schiro throughout the Prohibition era.
During the early months of the Castellammarese War, Bonventre became a target as the Brooklyn-based Castellammarese gang began to threaten Joe "the Boss" Masseria's domination over Italian organized crime. On July 15, 1930, Bonventre was gunned down by Masseria gunmen outside his garage.[1]
Bonventre is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, Queens.
In popular culture
A second cousin of mob boss Joseph Bonanno, Bonventre was portrayed by John Vamvas in the 1999 television movie Bonanno: A Godfather's Story.
