Influence

(Cir. Mar 27 2000)

(Cir. Jan 03, 2001 with outlaying Kuei Jin and Sabbat sects denoted)

Now as you can notice New Italy is were the Giovanni hold our Territory, firmly encamped in North Necropolis and Riverfront Park the family can works both sides of the River without attracting too much trouble. With the Kuei Jin and their Asian connection to the west and Camarilla to the rest of our sides we really haven't any worries from the Sabbat at all. Course if we want to do buisness with them it makes it a bit difficult but hey nothing in life comes free.

In addition to our sphere of influence:

The Giovanni control a good deal of the riverfront, the Dock Workers Union, construction companies and city contracts dealing with major renovations, and a local professional sports team.

Marie Giovanni's holdings: Giovanni, Kuntz, & Velonese Accounting Firm, Cyber Java coffee shop, BDSM club: "Narcissis in Chains", and Kuntz Funeral home

Dante Giovanni owns two apartment complexes in addition to a small cafe that has an apartment above it.

Don Malcom Velonese owns and maintains his own night club "Club Gehenna".. He also has ghouled the Teamster boss and heads of the Workers Union for two of the major automotive plants in Necropolis (Ford and Saturn) He has also branched out and maintains holds over two locally originated ISP's , Circut City, another local club called "Drakenflugel" and three of the more proclaimed occult bookstores within Necropolis
Places of Note:
St. Anthony's Cathedral: The primary place of worship in the area, located not far from the hospital district, having been founded by Catholic hospitlers back when Necropolis was first being settled.
Golden Gardens Country Club: A recent aquisition by the family, the country club boasts a PGA level golf course along with a number of spacious bungalows along the courses exterior. Only for the wealthy and high class of Necropolis.

Footnotes on the areas of influence: The Giovanni have held control over the auto industry and dock workers for many years now and since have acclimated much of the overall control for themselves. Having started with the Unions originally (mostly immigrants to start but as time wore on more and more were American citizens)back in the 30's to 40's, the Giovanni weren't content to stop there and created a trickle down effect as time went by enabling them to hold onto their industries with an iron grip. It was and still is to this day, their backbone of economy. More and more familia find their way into working for the dealers and onshore warehouses (dock workers) and abberant behavior is quickly noted as the family wants to weed out spies and disreputables so undue attention isn't drawn onto their activies. While it is probably possible to send a spy in for a period of time, that period would be brief as the family keeps this area under high scrutiny. The offenders and those who sent them would no doubt be slain with little effort.
