Angela Joyce Raiola (June 30, 1960 – February 18, 2016), better known by her nickname Big Ang (pronounced Anj) was an American reality television personality who co-starred in the VH1 series Mob Wives. Raiola was the niece of Salvatore «Sally Dogs» Lombardi (1941–2009), a caporegime («capo») and drug dealer in the Genovese crime family. Known as a “mob moll”, Raiola dated gangsters and lived an opulent lifestyle. She joined the Mob Wives cast during the show’s second season, in 2012. The same year, after she became the show’s breakout star, VH1 gave Raiola her own reality show, Big Ang, which evolved into Miami Monkey. She has been described as a gay icon.
