This week, the surname Mangione became inextricably linked with the cold-blooded killing of a health-insurance executive in New York City, when 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was charged with his murder.
But for decades, the name has meant something entirely different: wealth, power, prominence, philanthropy - particularly within the Italian community of Baltimore.
They're one of, if not the, "most respected" Italian families in the area, according to Giovanna Aquia Blatterman.
Now 77, Ms Aquia Blatterman, who arrived in the US from Sicily in1953, said she has known three generations of Mangiones.
The family is "generous" and "self-made", she said, while Luigi, who she met briefly about eight years ago, appeared clever, approachable and handsome – "as you can tell".
"Something has occurred with him," she mused, referencing the last several days. "He's two different people."
She also insisted he's innocent until proven guilty: "This is one of the greatest honours of being an American citizen."
In a 1995 story about him titled 'Fiery builder has softer side', Mr Mangione recalled buying the Turf Valley resort, which lies to the west of Baltimore, in 1978.
"People thought I needed money from the mafia to buy this place. They asked me what family I belonged to. I told them, 'I belong to the Mangione family. The Mangione family of Baltimore County.'"
In 1988, Turf Valley was at the centre of a racism row when the then-manager - Mangione Sr's now deceased nephew - was recorded using a racial slur. Mr Mangione fired him afterward.
But within Baltimore's tight-knit Italian community, there's loyalty to Nick Mangione and his memory. Life-long Little Italy resident, 83-year-old Mary Ann Campanella, called him an "excellent man".
"If you went to him (for help)," she said, "and he looked at you – you got it. He helped everyone."
The family patriarch - who long ago had moved his expanding family out to the suburbs - died in 2008, leaving behind 10 children, and 37 grandchildren, including Luigi Mangione.
When he was arrested, police say Luigi Mangione was carrying a hand-written document detailing his alleged "ill will" towards corproate elites, which US media have reported included the line "these parasites had it coming".
Unlike his grandfather, Luigi was born into privilege, attending an all-boys private school in a northern Baltimore suburb, where fees can reach $37,690 a year.
From a rainy Baltimore roadside, the sprawling campus of the Gilman School is visible, including its centrepiece, a double-fronted, 1920s red-brick hall behind which are extensive sporting grounds.
One family associate likened it to Eton, the English boys school attended by aristocratic familes and members of the Royal Family.
Many have wondered how this 26-year-old man went from being a young, promising graduate to a fugitive, arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald's.
The name is literally imprinted on Baltimore.
A plaque at the entrance to the Family Center at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center reads: "Donated by Nicholas and Mary Mangione."
"The family's very philanthropic," Mr Segelbaum said, noting the family gave more than $1m to the hospital.
But Ms Blatterman insists the Mangiones have remained "relatable" and don't "showboat".
Previously a salon stylist, Ms Blatterman said she cut the hair of Luigi Mangione's grandmother Mary Mangione, who she calls "Miss Mary", in the early 1970s.
And, before the Covid pandemic, she said she played bocce (an Italian bowling game) with members of the Mangione family, including Luigi Mangione's parents, Louis and Kathleen Mangione.
"Kathy has a travel agency. She does trips to Italy," she said.
While she expressed sympathy for the family of Brian Thompson, 50, the health-executive fatally shot on 4 December, Ms Blatterman said her thoughts are also with the Mangiones.
"I can't imagine what the family's going through. I'm sorry about Mr Thompson, they're going through hell, too - but so is this family going through hell
