Giuseppe Colombano "Gyp" Rosetti is a character in the HBO TV series Boardwalk Empire, portrayed by Bobby Cannavale.
He travels to Atlantic City on New Year's Eve (December 31, 1922) in order to purchase a large quantity of bootlegged liquor from Nucky.
In order to simplify his operations and keep the law at bay, Nucky decides to sell alcohol exclusively to Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg).
Since Tabor Heights sits on the only road suitable for winter travel between Atlantic City and New York and is the last spot to fill up on gas on the way, Nucky has no way to deliver his alcohol.
[7] This escalates, with Rosetti choosing to burn the Sheriff of Tabor Heights alive, then ambush a convoy transporting liquor to Rothstein, killing 11 of Nucky's men (in spite of Eli scouting out the town in advance).
[4] On Easter Sunday, Rosetti's second-in-command Tonino Sandrelli (Chris Caldovino) informs him of all the territory they lost in New York City because of their long absence.
Rosetti is able to convince Masseria to spare his life and provide him with additional men to kill both Nucky and Rothstein and take over Atlantic City.
He makes a move to kill Nucky, Rothstein and Charlie Luciano (Vincent Piazza); on a tip from Gillian Darmody, he blows up Babette's supper club, but all three men survive.
[5] The role received critical acclaim and earned Cannavale the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2013.
