Charles "Lucky" Luciano (/ˌluːtʃiˈɑːnoʊ/,[1] Italian: [luˈtʃaːno]; born Salvatore Lucania[2] [salvaˈtoːre lukaˈniːa];[3] November 24, 1897 – January 26, 1962) was an Italian-born gangster who operated mainly in the United States. [4][5] Luciano's parents, Antonio Lucania and Rosalia Capporelli, had four other children: Bartolomeo (born 1890), Giuseppe (born 1898), Filippa (born 1901), and Concetta. PREVIEW Rising Star. [90] Sent to prison for 15 years, Genovese tried to run his crime family from prison until his death in 1969. [18] After Reina was murdered on February 26, 1930, the rivalry between Masseria and Maranzano escalated into the bloody Castellammarese War. [74] Lansky was already established as a major investor in Cuban gambling and hotel projects. [2] Lucky Luciano was named "Artist of the Year" at the 2009 Texas Latin Rap Awards. This too may have been the result of persistent misspellings by newspapers.
To salvage his reputation, Luciano bought 200 expensive seats to the Jack Dempsey–Luis Firpo boxing match in the Bronx and distributed them to top gangsters and politicians. [25], By September 1931, Maranzano realized Luciano was a threat, and hired Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll, an Irish gangster, to kill him. He was featured early on tracks by Baby Bash and South Park Mexican, which led to Lucky's appearance on SPM's The Purity Album. In contrast to Rothstein, Masseria was uneducated, with poor manners and limited managerial skills. [25], At least two of Luciano's contemporaries have denied that Luciano was ever part of "the Combination". [27], In early 1931, Luciano decided to eliminate Masseria. [93], In 1998, Time characterized Luciano as the "criminal mastermind" among the top 20 most influential builders and titans of the 20th century.[94]. Luciano argued that a Dewey assassination would precipitate a massive law enforcement crackdown; the national crime syndicate had enacted a hard and fast rule stating that law enforcement and prosecutors were not to be harmed.
Luciano respected the younger boy's defiant responses to his threats, and the two formed a lasting partnership thereafter.[11]. In 1936 he was indicted, tried, and convicted and was sentenced to Clinton Prison at Dannemora, New York, for a 30-to-50-year term. On December 20, during the conference, Luciano had a private meeting with Genovese in Luciano's hotel suite. However, Lansky was a top advisor to Luciano and Siegel a trusted associate.
Known as the Young Turks, they chafed at their bosses' conservatism. [2] In 2009, Lucky also organized and produced "The Houston Latin Mic Pass" featuring many underground Houston artists. Although he saw no jail time, being outed as a drug peddler damaged his reputation among his high-class associates and customers. [61] Luciano used his influence to help get the materials to build a church at the prison, which became famous for being one of the only freestanding churches in the New York State correctional system and also for the fact that on the church's altar are two of the original doors from the Victoria, the ship of Ferdinand Magellan.[36]. Lucky Luciano, byname of Charles Luciano, original name Salvatore Lucania, (born November 11, 1896, Lercara Friddi, Sicily, Italy—died January 26, 1962, Naples), the most powerful chief of American organized crime in the early 1930s and a major influence even from prison in 1936–45 and after deportation to Italy in 1946.
