The other day I bought an issue of a Life Magazine about Mobsters and Gangsters, and in the plane I read every page of it.
It has EVERYTHING of the Mob, including biographies of the gangsters, the places they lived at, their wives, cars, guns, everything.
It covers the biographies of the most famous gangsters such as Capone, Costello, the Five Families, John Gotti, Lansky, and even the movies of the mob. It is great, I reccomend it.

Vito Cascio Ferro was quite a seminal figure in Mafia history. Around 1900, he came to New Orleans (where the first Mafia family in America had been established) to build links 'twixt Sicily and America, and to open up a transoceanic heroin pipeline. Despite the long-established nature of the New Orleans Mafia, Don Vito imposed himself at its head through sheer force of personality. In fact, his notoriety, and the scary nature of the Sicilian/American alliance that he established, motivated NYC detective Joseph Petrosino to make his famous trip to Sicily, where he was murdered by three gunmen (one of them Don Vito, according to legend. This incident was portrayed in a pretty poor B-movie, "The Black Hand," with Ernest Borgnine playing Petrosino. He was also rumored to have sent Salvatore Maranzano, Joe Bonanno's patron and predecessor, to America, though Bonanno doesn't mention Don Vito in his autobiography. Like other Sicilian Mafia bigwigs, Don Vito was arrested and jailed by Mussolini. He died in prison after WWII. BTW: I ordered that Life Magazine book from Amazon. Will offer my opinion when it arrives. Thanks for the tip, BK!

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Turnbull, you beat me to it. I love Cascio Ferro, and know lots about him. I was going to post a huge info selection but...  . Yes, I dont know if you said this but did you know that he had people as far as northern Italy come to his funeral? He was truely, The Don of Dons. He was an outstanding gangster and a terrible person. But you all know this now. Vito Cascio Ferro, or Don Ferro will be remembered in Sicily for a long time. The Don Michael Ferro
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

It is also said that Cascio Ferro, The Black Hand, was also the used for the Fanucci character. This is skeptical though.
The Don Mike Ferro
