Vincenzo Muratore

Vince had been a trusted lieutenant of 'Godfather' Domenico Italiano.

He was Domenico Demarte's financial advisor when Demarte took over as Melbourne's 'Godfather' after the deaths of Italiano and Antonio Barbara in 1962 and 1963.
Vincenzo was a prominent market merchant and commission agent and the father of Alfonso Muratore, shot dead in 1992.
Vincenzo was killed with a shotgun outside his Avondale Street, Hampton home on January 16, 1964.

He was on his way to the market at 2.30am

This was allegedly a payback for the murder of Vincenzo Angiletta in April 1963.

He was said to have been killed by two male relatives of Angiletta, one who escaped to Italy after the killing.

St Marys Star of the Sea Church, West Melbourne, was the site for yet another grand scale community funeral after Muratore's murder.
