Mob boss home may be landmark

PHILADELPHIA — The home of a late Philadelphia mob boss has been nominated to become a city historical landmark.

Angelo Bruno, who ran the city’s mob in the 1960s and 1970s, was shot to death in a car outside the home in 1980 at age 69.

Celeste Morello, who wrote a Bruno biography, said she nominated the home due to its significance in legal history.
