	Colombo crime family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the Castellammarese War was brought to a close with the deaths of Joe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano in 1931, the American Mafia was restructured by Charles "Lucky" Luciano, with five major branches forming the basis of a new era of cooperation between mobsters.
		Joe Colombo was tasked with organising the hits but, sensing how things were likely to pan out, he duly ratted on his boss, informing Gambino and Tommy Lucchese of the plans.
		Colombo was in no position to run the family and the leadership fell to Thomas DiBella, a man adept at evading the authorities since his sole bootlegging conviction in 1932.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Joe Colombo
		Colombo became head of what was then known as the Profaci family in 1963, following the deaths of family founder Joe Profaci and his successor, Joe Magliocco.
		In the spring of 1970, Colombo responded to increasing FBI scrutiny of his activities by picketing FBI offices in New York, claiming that the FBI was harassing Italian-Americans.
		Colombo was replaced as head of the Colombo family by Vincent Aloi, and his assassination touched off a second intra-family war with the Gallo forces.

	Joe Gallo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joey Gallo (April 7, 1929 - April 7, 1972) better known as Crazy Joe Gallo, was a gangster who was a member of the Profaci crime family (later known as the Colombo crime family).
		Joe Colombo was shot in June 1971 by a fl gunman named Jerome Johnson.
		Johnson, who was immediately shot dead by Colombo's bodyguards, was believed to be an associate of Gallo and therefore Gallo was widely suspected by both the police and other mobsters as being the one behind Colombo's shooting.

	Joe Colombo / Design Museum Collection: A Century of Chairs - Design/Designer Info
		Joe ventured into design by creating a ceiling for a Milan jazz club in 1953 and three open-air rest areas featuring "television shrines" in which TV sets were used to construct miniature theatres or shrines in the following year’s Milan Trienniale.
		Colombo had also devised the Box 1 "night and day facility" in which the contents of a conventional bedroom were contained within a series of interlocking boxes which divided to become a bed, wardrobe and shelves.
		In 1969, Joe created a more luxurious version of Box 1 in Visiona, his visionary "habitat of the future" in which the contents of an entire house are contained within a series of mobile elements in a space with no dividing walls.

	Joe Colombo article
		To pose a first question concerning Joe Colombo, it is perhaps best to simply ask, "Why is he so famous?" The response, as well, may be put simply, Cesare Colombo, who chose to go under the first name, Joe, is one of the most influential and representative designers of the modern epoch.
		Joe Colombo's work in this period is typified by open forms, transformations and explosions of color (interestingly in the same reds, yellows and browns he will use for his subsequent design pieces).
		Joe Colombo was consistently moved to seek possible solutions to everyday problems of living, as he, himself, was quick to underline: "All the problems that confront us today must be resolved on the social level, moreover, they must resolved globally and must involve projects for the future.

		Telling about Joe Colombo means telling the brief but intense parable of one of the greatest Italian designers, who died in 1971 at the young age of 41.
		Joe Colombo’s future was an anti-nostalgic future (he would not have recognised as "future" the ‘90s in which we live today), in which an intelligent technology would have helped every human activity, laying the foundations for completely new living models.
		And at the Colombo lamp of 1972, which manages, thanks to the use of a halogen source, to interpret space as a vast bright island (walls are no longer necessary, all you need now is to be either inside or outside of that cone of light).

	Mafia International - joe bonanno
		Joe Colombo at only 40 years old became the youngest mob ever boss in 1963, when he took over the old Profaci organization, in New York.
		Although Colombo was eminently qualified for this triple-header of a hit, and although Magliocco considered him to be one of his most capable captains, there was one thing he didn't know about Joe.
		Many rumours surfaced as to who and why Colombo was to be hit, but I think the most obvious answer is to understand the fact that by continuing with the civil rights league he went against the wishes of Carlo Gambino, and by doing this Colombo signed his own death warrant.

		Colombo was a pipe-smoking architect and painter who turned his hand to design after studying at the Brera Fine Arts Academy and later at Milan Polytechnic.

		Colombo had something of a symbiotic relationship with jazz, and he spent many a late night in one existentialist-type club of his own design.

		As made clear by the many photos of Colombo’s own apartments in which he himself is typically shown, Colombo was not only one of the most important designers of his time but also a gifted communicator and self-promoter.
		Always elegantly dressed and never without a pipe in his mouth, Colombo furnished fitting images to accompany his designs: that of a “designer dandy” who was fascinated by the possibilities of new technologies and the improvement of everyday life.
		Colombo was hence both – one of the great future visionaries of the 20th century as well as a pragmatist for whom the future began with the little everyday things.
