The Arizona Bank check signed by Joseph Bonanno. Tucson, Arizona, 17 July 1978. 6 x 2 3/4 in. Matted with photographic portrait, 11 x 18 in.
Joseph Bonnano (1905-2002), sometimes known as Joe Bananas, was the crime boss of the Italian-American Bonanno crime family of New York City between 1931 and 1968.
After the murder of Salvatore Maranzano during the Castellammares War, he reorganized the Maranzano crime family as the Bonanno family and became one of the youngest-ever mob bosses.
After a botched assassination of rivals on The Commission, he fled to Canada in 1964. His return in 1966 sparked the "Banana War" which lasted until he retired to Arizona two years later.
