Born in Corleone, Sicily, in 1876, Giuseppe "the Clutch Hand" Morello also known as "The Old Fox", was the first boss of the Morello crime family

he is a distant cousin of Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello!

"He was famous for having a one-fingered deformed right hand that resembled a claw. In the 1890s, Giuseppe founded a gang known as the 107th Street Mob, which would later evolve into the Morello crime family (today the Genovese crime family, the oldest of the Five Families in New York City). By 1905, Morello had created the largest, most influential Sicilian crime family in New York City and was recognized as capo di tutti capi (boss of bosses) by Mafia leaders in other U.S. cities."

I have a book about him and his counterfeiting ring. Good stuff about the early days, not just the Mafia, but the country in general, too.
