Nicholas Scibetta (died 1978), also known as "Little Nicky", was a Sicilian American mobster who was the nephew of Joseph and John Zicarelli, the brother-in-law of mobster Sammy Gravano[1] and uncle of Gerard Gravano, who was a Gambino crime family mob associate who was later marked as an informant by fellow crime family members.
He was the only son born to first-generation immigrants, his father from Cammarata in the province of Agrigento, Sicily, and his Italian-American mother from Bayonne, New Jersey.
A cocaine and alcohol user, Scibetta participated in several public fights and insulted the daughter of George DeCicco.
However, Gravano was eventually calmed by DeCicco and accepted Scibetta's death as the punishment earned by his behavior.
In the television movie Gotti, Sammy Gravano, portrayed by William Forsythe, murders Nicholas by himself in a construction supply warehouse, while in his autobiography Underboss he states that members of his own crew, allegedly Liborio Milito, Joseph D'Angelo and Frank DeCicco, carried out the murder contract for Paul Castellano and not Gravano.
