		Vito Cascio Ferro (January 22, 1862 - 1943), known as Don Vito, he was a prominent Sicilian mafioso who also operated for a time in the United States, where he was a "pioneer" of sorts in the American Mafia.
		Cascio Ferro was born in Bisacquino in the province of Palermo and worked in his early adulthood as a revenue collector, which provided a cover for his protection racket.
		Cascio Ferro was arrested for the murder but released after an associate provided an alibi; however, he later told other crime figures that he had killed Petrosino, a claim which helped propel him into the position of capo di tutti capi (boss of bosses).

		Born in 1862 in Palermo, Cascio Ferro grew up in traditional peasant surroundings and as a young man was hot headed, illiterate and rebellious.
		Cascio Ferro was among the thousands of immigrants who got into U.S in the period before the strict quotas were introduced in the twenties.
		In 1927 Don Vito was arrested for murder, something that he got used to over the years as he was arrested on suspicion of murder 69 times but would always be acquitted, thanks to there not being enough evidence and no witnesses who were deranged enough to testify against a Mafia boss.

	New York Press - WILLIAM BRYK -
		In Sicily, Vito Cascio Ferro remains legendary as the greatest Mafia chieftain and the first Sicilian to be considered capo di tutti capi.
		Cascio Ferro entered the United States while concealing his criminal record, which had begun with an assault in 1894 and progressed through extortion, arson and menacing to the kidnapping of the Baroness di Valpetrosa in 1899.
		On the night of March 12, Don Vito excused himself from a dinner party at the home of a government official, a man who seems to have viewed him with the greatest respect, stepped into a carriage (some say that of his host) and was dropped off near Piazza Marina in the Tribunaria/Castellemare district.
