Vito Genovese
Vito Genovese was a prominent figure in organized crime during the mid-20th century, known for his leadership within the Genovese crime family in New York. Born in 1897 in Italy, he immigrated to the United States as a child and quickly rose through the ranks of the mafia, becoming one of the most powerful and feared mobsters in American history. Genovese was involved in various illegal activities, including extortion, racketeering, and drug trafficking. His rivalry with fellow mobster Frank Costello marked a significant chapter in mafia history, leading to violent conflicts and shifts in power within the criminal underworld. Genovese's life of crime ultimately ended with his imprisonment in the 1950s, and he passed away in 1969.
