Antonio Rocco Caponigro (January 22, 1912 – April 18, 1980), also known as Tony Bananas, was the consigliere of Angelo Bruno in the Philadelphia crime family.

Accordingly, Caponigro traveled to New York City to consult his "friend" Frank Tieri, from the Genovese crime family.

On April 18, 1980, Caponigro and his brother-in-law, Alfred Salerno, were found dead,[2] battered and nude in the trunk of a different car in The Bronx.

[3][4] The death of Angelo Bruno, his consigliere, and two capos threw the Philadelphia crime family wide open.

With New York's blessing, Angelo Bruno's surviving underboss, Phil Testa, was appointed the new boss.

After Caponigro murdered Bruno, Nicky Scarfo could return from his appointed exile in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
