Angelo Monachino was a made member of the Rochester Mafia and a participant in the 1973 murder of Vincent "Jimmy The Hammer" Massaro. He was the first of at least fifteen witnesses to be placed in the Witness Protection Program. In 1978 Angelo Monachino testified before The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate. Monachino's testimony exposed the Rochester Mafia's arson-for-hire schemes and the participants in the "Jimmy the Hammer" Massaro murder. The fallout from Monachino's testimony proved to be a catalyst for the impending Rochester Mob Wars.

The book "The Rochester Mob Wars" covers the rise of the Rochester Mafia in the late 1950's and early 1960's through the fall of the mob in the late 1990's when the "organization" had been decimated by internal strife including the mob controlled Teamsters Local #398 which was disbanded by the government in 1997 for "lifetime affiliation with the Mafia."
