question: When was the made man in the American Mafia died who was controlling the The Vario Crew?
answer: May 3, 1988
context: Title: Santo Sorge
  Passage: Santo Sorge (Mussomeli, January 11, 1908 – New York, May, 1972) was a Sicilian Mafioso living in the United States.  His exact role has never been very clear; he was one of the great 'unknowns' of the Sicilian and American Mafia.  He was one of the highest-level Sicilian Mafia leaders in his time.  His counsel was sought in important decisions affecting the American Mafia as well.  He traveled extensively between Italy and the United States.
  Title: Soldato
  Passage: A soldato is the first level of both the American Mafia and the Sicilian Mafia in the formal Mafia hierarchy or cadre.  The promotion to the rank of soldier is an elevation in the chain of command from the associate level.  The associate must prove himself to the family and take the oath of Omertà.  Picciotto (plural: "picciotti") is often used to refer to a lower-level mafioso, but it usually indicates a younger, inexperienced soldatoone who is not necessarily a made man.  "Picciotti" usually perform simple tasks such as beatings and robbery.

Hill's life in the Vario crew was the subject of Martin Scorsese's crime film "Goodfellas" (1990), starring Ray Liotta as Hill.  Today the crew is still active, but less influential than before, and is currently led by Domenico "Danny" Cutaia.

The organization is often referred to by members as Cosa Nostra (] , "our thing") and by the government as La Cosa Nostra (LCN).  The organization's name is derived from the original ""Mafia"" or "Cosa nostra", the Sicilian Mafia, and it originally emerged as an offshoot of the Sicilian Mafia; however, the organization eventually encompassed or absorbed other Italian-American gangsters and Italian-American crime groups (such as the American Camorra) living in the United States and Canada that are not of Sicilian origin.  It is often referred to as the Italian Mafia or Italian Mob, though these terms may also apply to the separate yet related organized crime groups in Italy.
  Title: Vincent Gigante
  Passage: Vincent Louis Gigante ( ; March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "Chin", was a New York Italian-American mobster in the American Mafia who was boss of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005.  Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 bouts between 1944 and 1947.  He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family.  Gigante was one of five brothers: Mario, Pasquale, Ralph and he all became mobsters in the Luciano family, forerunner of the Genovese family.  Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest.  Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957.  After sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, following Vito's conviction for heroin trafficking, Gigante became a caporegime, overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates that operated out of Greenwich Village.  Gigante was one of Genovese's most loyal supporters, siding with him throughout the struggle for power with Costello.
