Organized crime boss. Gaetano Lucchese (loo-CHAY-zee) was born in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, and as a child who was small in stature, he learned to compensate for his size by demonstrating a combination of ruthless and aggressive behaviors. In 1910, at age twelve, Lucchese departed Italy for the United States with his parents. They resided in East Harlem, where young Lucchese joined the Ciro Terranova, 107 Street Gang. During that era, he came to appreciate the value of political connections; the ward politicians controlled the gangs to broaden their political base and influence during elections.
