Carlo Mastrototaro

Carlo Mastrototaro (1920– October 5, 2009) was an Italian-American gangster who served as a capo with the Genovese crime family, which was affiliated with the Patriarca crime family. Mastototaro reigned as local crime boss of Worcester, Massachusetts for half-a-century.

During his reign as the boss of New England organized crime, Raymond L.S. Patriarca (Il Patrone) formed strong relationships with the New York City families particularly the Colombo. Il Patrone worked with the Genovese family and decided that dividing line between the New York families and his family would be the Connecticut River. The New England crime family would control organized crime in Worcester (which the Genovese family wound up holding as a fiefdom) and Boston, as well as the state of Maine, while the Genovese family would control organized crime in Hartford, Springfield, and Albany.
