Victoria and John met in a Brooklyn bar in 1958 and married on March 6, 1962 – John was one of New York’s most dangerous gangsters at the time.
DiGiorgi gave birth to their five children over five years – Angel in 1961, Victoria in 1962, John A. in 1964, Frank in 1967, and Peter Gotti, Jr. in 1974 – their first son John A.
Gotti grew up with his father and followed in his father’s footsteps becoming a gangster, while Victoria became a writer.
Frank, their second oldest son, died in a car accident when he was 12 years old when his neighbor John Favara hit him with his car while Frank was riding his bicycle – Favara went missing four months later, and it is believed that John had him killed.
Victoria was devastated by her son’s death, and she spent nearly a year in bed, depressed. Victoria and John lived a lavish lifestyle and frequently attended horse races together; DiGiorgire calls John giving her money to bet on, but she would usually bet only a small amount and save the rest for their home.
