One of the most recognizable Italian American gangsters is Al Capone, sometimes referred to by his nickname “Scarface.” He was the founder of the Chicago Outfit (an organized crime institution) and was infamously recognized during the Prohibition Era. Born to Italian Immigrants, Al Capone was illustrious for his crimes and a hero to the common man.
