Aniello Migliore

Aniello "Neil" Migliore (born October 2, 1933) is a New York City mobster, and acting leader of the Lucchese crime family. Migliore was a close associate of family bosses Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese and Anthony "Tony Ducks" Corallo.

Migliore was born in Queens. As a teenager he was recruited by capo Joseph Lorato, and began controlling some illegal gambling operations in Queens. By the time he was twenty-one, in 1957, Migliore was earning $50,000 a day.

On November 14, 1957, Migliore was suspected to have missed the famous Apalachin Meeting, a national Cosa Nostra summit in Apalachin, New York which was broken up by law enforcement. The next day he was in a car accident while driving through Binghamton most likely picking up boss Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese and underboss Stefano "Steve" LaSalle.

After the death of Tommy Lucchese, in the 1970s, Migliore was promoted to capo in the family. He controlled illegal gambling (numbers games) in Queens and was involved in labor racketeering in New York City's construction and trucking industries. When Anthony "Tony Ducks" Corallo became boss, Migliore was one of his top capo's in the family but insisted he had no ambition for any senior leadership position.

He began representing the family's interest in Northberry Concrete, using a Brooklyn contractor who also was a member of the Concrete Workers' District Council. Along with mobsters Luigi "Louis Beans" Foceri and Frank Bellino, who both were former vice-presidents of Local 20 union began they were extorting the concrete industry. Migliore held a salesman position with Port Dock and Stone, one of the principal suppliers of trap rock to the two firms that monopolized the production of concrete in New York City. He also owned a Queens-based concrete company with Tommy Lucchese's brother Joseph "Joe Brown" Lucchese. Migliore was arrested ten times and only served a nine-month sentence in prison.
