Nick DelGaudio
? to c. 1916

DelGaudio was a Neapolitan Camorrist operating in Manhattan in the early 1900s. While details are unknown, he is believed to have crossed the Lupo-Morello Mafia in Italian Harlem. His subsequent murder sparked a feud between Sicilian and Neapolitan criminal groups in New York City.

Brooklyn Neapolitan leader Pelligrino Morano in 1917 allegedly said he wanted the Morellos dead to avenge Del Gaudio's murder.

The feud seems not to have involved all Sicilian and Neapolitan groups in the city. The Morello mob cooperated with a number of Neapolitans in Manhattan, and the Morano organization apparently did not go to war with the Castellamarese Sicilian organization believed to have been thriving in Brooklyn at the time.
