Frank Tartaglia, South Philly filmmaker and co-owner of Connie’s Ric Rac club, dies at 45

Frank Joseph Tartaglia was a true son of the Italian Market. His father had a bustling fruit business in the iconic market. But he and his older brother, Joseph Frank Tartaglia, realized young that they weren’t content slinging produce.
