And yes, Charlie Luciano made Capone the chairman of the Commission. It was an honorary title, and he still wasn't a Mafia guy, but he sat with the mighty. Joe Columbo, it must be said, appeared on nationwide TV (the Dick Cavett Show), led rallies of hundreds of thousands in NYC's Columbus Circle, and gave many interviews to newspaper and magazine reporters. But Capone, in his day, was even more famous than Babe Ruth.

I am not nearly as well versed as many of you on here (SC, Trumbull), but I would have to give the nod to Capone or Gotti.
Seeing as how they were way more flashy than the others (Luciano was flashy in his own way, but he was in jail a lot and deported back to Italy a long time ago).....
Finance is a gun, Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.

Not sure what you mean by "prominant" but without any question, in my book, Lucky Luciano would undeniably be one of the most prominant mafia bosses, as he organized the commission and the modern-day structure of the mafia, he ws from sicily and even helped organize the end of WWII as he got the cooperation from sicily to invade and stop the germans, so he was, on all levels, someone who ruled internationally one way or the other. When I was in Sicily I asked if they knew who Gotti was, they all looked at me and nodded no, gotti was much hype from the NY Press, he was flamboyant, but that is also what lead to his demise by the FBI. Colorful, powerful, yes, but he pales in comparison to most others like Capone, Gambino, Columbo, etc etc.
