It is marked by a plaque citing Capone as an "Italian American famous gangster." Great list of places! A few additions: Capri- Trafficante had a significant piece of the Capri. George Raft was also hired as the greeter ( him and Trafficante were friends). Charlie 'the Blade" TOurine (Charlie Delmonico) - Luchesse guy- was also tight with Trafficante.
