Ancelotti Crime Family

Overview

The Ancelotti crime family is the weakest of Liberty City's five Commission families but the most involved in the stories of Grand Theft Auto IV and The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is led by Giovanni Ancelotti and relies on hired Albanian muscle.

History

The family's decline is visible throughout the game. Its soldiers are thinly spread and it leans on outside crews such as the Albanians. Its business includes loan sharking, which brings Rocco and Vince Pelosi into Tony Prince's life.

Territory

Ancelotti operations appear in Little Italy, Alderney City and Acter. Members use cars like the Sentinel, PMP 600, Cognoscenti and Feltzer, along with boats and helicopters.

Leadership and members

• Giovanni Ancelotti, the boss.
• Gracie Ancelotti, his daughter.
• Anthony "Tony Black" Spoleto, a capo.
• Rocco and Vince Pelosi, loan sharks tied to the family.

Role in the story

The McRearys repeatedly target the Ancelottis. Niko robs an Ancelotti cash drop in Waste Not Want Knots, kills Tony Black in Actions Speak Louder Than Words and Frankie Garone in I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots and Your Motorcycle, and kidnaps Gracie in I'll Take Her. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, Giovanni forces Tony and Luis to recover Gracie, and later sides with Bulgarin against them.

Relations with other gangs

The Ancelottis work with the Albanians and, at times, the Russians. They are enemies of the McRearys and the Pegorinos.
