  1. The Boss of Bosses: Carlo Gambino Alysa Irvin EnglishII-4th 4-12-13

  2. The Making of a Mob Boss • Carlo Gambino was born in Sicily and immigrated to U.S. as a stowaway.

  3. Early record • He began as an enforcer to Don Vito Cascio Ferro. • Later he worked as a rum runner for the Castellano family during the era of prohibition.

  4. Moving on • At the age of 19 Carlo got his start using his mother’s family connections, the Castellanos, who were already established in New York. • He was smuggled aboard a freighter bound for America.

  5. How he became The Boss • Gambino inherited the family after Albert Anastasia was murdered (allegedly by Gambino and another gunman with Vito Genovese’s approval).

  6. What makes a Boss. • At only 5'7" and with a hook nose, Carlo was respected and tough, and not afraid to face those who owed money to the Honored Society, carrying out orders with a ruthlessness that was soon noted. Gambino wasinducted into the Society on his 19th birthday.

  7. What made Carlo unique? • Carlo drove the feds crazy with his illusive and low profile behavior. He didn’t dress to his position and didn’t talk to reporters. He lived in a “modest” row house. • Even though he was under constant surveillance he was only ever incarcerated once.

  8. THE REIGN OF GAMBINO • Gambino ran the mob for a total of 22 years, he brought lots of profit for the Gambino and only served in prison for 22 months in 50 years of crime.

  9. The fall of Carlo Gambino • Carlo Gambino died of a heart attack while watching the Yankees game at his summer home in Long Island on Oct. 15, 1976.
