  • サマリー

  • Hosted by Oscar and Emmy-winning documentarian Anthony Giacchino, "True Crimes of Black Hand New York" investigates the life, times and 1909 murder of pioneering Italian immigrant Detective Joe Petrosino, assassinated in Sicily while on a secret NYPD mission to uncover the flow of Italian criminals into America.

    As the leader of the NYPD’s elite Italian Squad, Petrosino confronted the Black Hand—a method of extortion among Italian criminals marked by fear and violence that preyed on Italian immigrant communities.

    Was a Black Hand gang behind Petrosino's murder, or is there more to the story?

    In an era when the press led the charge against Italian immigration, with editorials in the New York Times declaring, “Altogether, we do not want them … we have too many bad Italians already” (August 25, 1904), Petrosino not only fought crime in NYC’s Little Italy, but also challenged the stereotypes that vilified his community.

    This podcast weaves together true crime and historical inquiry, exploring the forces that shaped Petrosino’s world, work, and untimely death. Through original storytelling, conversations with historians, descendants, and filmmakers who have shaped how Italians and Italian Americans are represented, discover a story where history, crime, and pop culture converge.

    A Conversation with John Turturro
    2025/01/08
    When promoting Pay or Die in 1960, Ernest Borgnine often spoke about his decision to turn down the role of Al Capone, saying, “I’ve played plenty of villains in my day, but I could never portray a real-life person who I knew had done so much evil and caused so many people tragedy.”

    How does actor and director John Turturro walk that line between authenticity and stereotype?

    Find out in our interview, where we explore everything from Pay or Die to The Sopranos—and a lot of family and career history in between!
