The Esposito Family

The Esposito Family is a cadet family in the criminal organization known as La Famiglia Nostra. The leaders of the Esposito family swore an oath of fealty to the Calabrese Family, pledging to protect them and offer them a portion of their profits. The Esposito Family was founded by Samuele Esposito, who married Vincentio Calabrese's sister Gabriella. As a result, the Espositos have close ties with the Calabreses not only through their omerta but also through a direct familial connection.

As a part of La Famiglia Nostra, the Espositos mostly handled the smuggling of alcohol and other illegal goods. Samuele Esposito founded and owned the company Esposito Grocery, Trucking, & Farms. The Esposito trucks are fitted with false bottoms and secret compartments to aid in the smuggling and importation of illegal goods. The Espositos tend to work closely with the Bianchis.

Samuele Esposito
Samuele Esposito (age 68) is the founding member of the Esposito Cadet family. He was married to Gabriella Calabrese for 13 years, Vincentio's sister, and has remained a widower since her death over 30 years ago. He's among Vincentio's closest friends, along with Diano Bianchi. Samuele is currently in prison on smuggling and tax evasion charges after being captured in a Streetsweeper sting.

Stefan Esposito
Stefan is the oldest son of Samuele and Gabriella, age 39. He's the current acting leader of the Esposito family since his father is in prison. Stefan has taken over his father's business and is currently trying to secure a steady stream of imported alcohol for the various speakeasies across Chicago. Smugglers tend to avoid Chicago due to the violence of the Streetsweepers, however, and Stefan has struggled to do his job as of late. Stefan is happily married to Vanessa Fiorentino and has two young children -- Lilianna (9) and Raffaele (11). He is the brother of the late Roman Esposito and the currently missing Azalea Endrizzi.

Vanessa Esposito
Formerly a member of the Fiorentinos, Vanessa (age 41) is the wife of Stefan Esposito. She's a strong-willed and passionate woman with an argumentative streak. It's sometimes joked that Vanessa is the real boss of the family and Stefan mostly does what she says.

Lilianna Esposito
