Mafia boss' mansion fails to sell


MONTREAL - Jailed mafia kingpin Vito Rizzuto's $1.9 million luxury home has "spacious living areas and an elegant garden and patio," but no buyers after three months on the market.
Sotheby's International Realty is overseeing the sale of the 29-year-old stone-faced mansion, which is steps away from the home where family patriarch Nick Rizzuto, Vito's father, was shot and killed as he cooked dinner last November.
A sniper fired the fatal shots from the same adjacent "immense wooded area" mentioned in the listing for Vito's home, which is touted as being "perfect for both raising a family and entertaining."
The mansion is registered in the name of Giovanna Cammalleri, Vito's wife. The pair are to be reunited next year when the 65-year-old mob boss wraps up a prison term for a 1981 mob hit in Brooklyn.
Realtor Liza Kaufman refused to discuss her client's reputed crime connections in an interview with QMI Agency. She said her client recommended a list price that's twice the municipal valuation of $1,000,100.

  1. With the bold, brazen murder of the patriarch of Montreal's Cosa Nostra Famiglia, Don Rizzuto's son Vito just may have to check his temper, follow and finish the after care bull crap that comes with release after serving a stint in "college". A sniper, amazing that they went a route that they knew would draw attention, not just because of the victim but because he was almost always in doors, and yet he's brought down by a sniper in his own kitchen/home. The RCMP is all over this, don't become complacent with those law enforcement officers. Just want to say, RIP Don Rizzuto, and Vito, careful,PATIENCE AND SWIFT ACTIONS, all in due time.
