The Springfield faction of the Genovese crime family is a group of Italian-American mobsters who control organized crime activities in the Springfield, Massachusetts area. The Springfield faction is led by a caporegime who oversees illegal activities in racketeering, illegal gambling, loansharking and extortion.
Springfield, Massachusetts has been a Genovese territory since the family's earliest days, with the most influential Genovese leaders being Salvatore "Big Nose Sam" Curfari, Francesco "Frankie Skyball" Scibelli, Adolfo "Big Al" Bruno, and Anthony Arillotta.
In 2010, the FBI convinced Arillotta and Felix L. Tranghese to become government witnesses as part of the federal government's prosecution of capo Arthur "Artie" Nigro and his associates for the murder of Adolfo "Big Al" Bruno. Arillotta and Tranghese represent only the fourth and fifth Genovese made men to have cooperated with law enforcement.
