Morelli and his brothers allegedly performed a number of daring robberies. (Some believe them responsible for the crimes charged against Sacco and Vanzetti.). In 1932, Morelli merged his Providence family with Buccola's Boston family forming the New England crime family, later known as the Patriarca family, effectively stepping down as boss and becoming the Underboss of Philip Buccola from 1932 until he retired from organized crime in 1947. His date of death is unknown.
