Cuomo first became widely known in New York City in the late 1960s when he represented "The Corona Fighting 69", a group of 69 home-owners from the Queens neighborhood of Corona, who were threatened with displacement by the city's plan to build a new high school.

Ex-Mafia imprisoned informant Maurizio Avola told The Guardian in 2016 that the Sicilian mafia had planned to kill Governor Cuomo on a visit to Italy in November 1992. The plan was for about a dozen gunmen armed with assault rifles and explosives to ambush Cuomo. Avola's godfather, Aldo Ercolano, considered that Cuomo would be an excellent target; Avola said: "The aim was to target politicians or members of institutions in order to send out a clear message"โ€”this was a few months after the mafia murdered antimafia judge Giovanni Falcone as a demonstration of power. Killing a prominent American was a warning to law enforcement agencies that had allowed several prominent mafia informants to live in the US under assumed identities. The attack was to be carried out in the main square of Messina in Sicily, in daylight. However, after Cuomo arrived in Rome, it became apparent that he had extremely tight security, with many bodyguards and a bullet-proof car, and the attack was called off.
