In this clip, Anthony Arillotta sheds light on the hierarchy and dynamics of the Springfield faction of the Genovese crime family. Arillotta outlines the ascent of several key figures including Arthur "Artie" Nigro, who went from soldier to boss, a transition deemed controversial. Nigro, embroiled in various legal troubles, eventually ascended to the role of acting boss for the Connecticut and Massachusetts factions but was criticized as greedy and ineffective. Notably, Arillotta introduces Albert "The Animal" Calvanese, portraying him as the most feared individual in Springfield's underworld. Despite his fearsome reputation, Calvanese was neither a made man nor involved in the mafia's hierarchical structure. His notoriety stemmed from his ruthless loan-sharking and independence, earning him respect and fear on the streets. The nickname "The Animal," Arillotta claims, was something given by the media, highlighting Calvanese's brutal image which belied his actual role in organized crime.
