Who is John Gotti’s wife? Victoria DiGiorgio Wiki Bio
Victoria DiGiorgio was born in Brooklyn, New York City USA, on 5 December 1942 – her birth sign is Sagittarius, and she holds American nationality. Victoria came under the spotlight after marrying John Gotti, head of the Gambino crime family.
Childhood and education
Victoria’s father was from Russia, while her mother was born in Italy into a Jewish family – they moved to the US not long before Victoria was born. Victoria’s parents were not earning enough money for the family, both working in the same factory – they divorced two years after Victoria was born, but rumor has it that Victoria inherited $1 million from her mother’s relatives when she grew a bit older.
She graduated from a high school in Brooklyn, and soon afterwards married John Gotti, hence not enrolling at college. Victoria has been a housewife ever since she married John, and has never launched a career in any field.
Marriage with John Gotti
Victoria and John met in 1958 at a local bar in Brooklyn, and married on 6 March 1962 – John was one of the deadliest gangsters in New York at the time.
Over the course of years, Victoria gave birth to their five children – Angel in 1961, Victoria in 1962, John A. in 1964, Frank in 1967, and Peter Gotti, Jr. in 1974 – their first son John A. Gotti grew up with his father and followed in his footsteps becoming a gangster, while Victoria has become a writer.
Their second oldest son Frank died in a car crash when he was 12, when his neighbor John Favara hit him with his car while Frank was riding a bicycle – Favara was disappeared four months after the incident, and it is believed that John had him killed.
The death of her son left Victoria devastated, and she spent nearly an entire year depressed, in her bed. Victoria and John led a lavish lifestyle, and often attended horse races together – Victoria still remembers the days when John gave her money to bet, but she would usually bet only a small amount, and save the rest for their home.
Who was John Gotti?
John Joseph Gotti was born in The Bronx, New York City USA, on 27 October 1940 – his zodiac sign was Scorpio and he held American nationality. Of Italian-American descent, John was a gangster who became the head of the Gambino crime family, operating in New York City.
John was born to parents who were originally from San Giueseppe Vesuviano, a commune in Naples, Italy – his father John Joseph Gotti Sr. and mother Philomena had 12 more children besides John, with five of the boys becoming part of the Gambino crime family.
John studied at the Franklin K. Lane High School, but was kicked out for bullying other children, and for being absent most of the time – his father was a gambler who was barely capable of providing food for the family, which is why John hated him.
John became part of his first gang at the age of 12, and at the age of 16 made friends with several boys who would later join the Gambino family – he first started working for Carmine Fatico who was a capo, captain in the family.
John was arrested in February 1968 for stealing from United Airlines, and then once again for stealing $50,000 worth of cigarettes while he was out on bail – he spent less than three years in jail for United Airlines hijacking, while the charges for stealing cigarettes were dropped.
He became a capo in the Gambino family in 1972, and was sentenced to four years in jail in June 1974 after killing McBratney, a man who killed a nephew of the Gambino family’s boss Carlo Gambino.
After the new Gambino family’s boss Paul Castellano ended up in prison in 1984, John was chosen to serve as the family’s boss – he made a plan to assassinate the boss after he was released from prison on 16 December 1985, and he was declared the new boss at a meeting which 20 capos attended on 15 January 1986 – John chose Frank DeCicco as the underboss, and Gallo as his consigliere (advisor and lawyer).

The Gambino family became the most powerful mafia in the US, which counted around $500 million of income per year. However, John surrendered to the police on 14 December 1992 to face numerous charges, and spent the rest of his life in the US Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois, most of his time in solitary confinement, being allowed to spend only an hour per day outside. John’s third son Peter became the family’s boss in 1999 – John died in prison on 19 June 2002 at the age of 61 from throat cancer.
