Vincenzo Colosimo (February 16, 1878 – May 11, 1920), known as James "Big Jim" Colosimo or as "Diamond Jim", was an Italian-American Mafia crime boss who emigrated from Calabria, Italy in 1895, and built a criminal empire in Chicago based on prostitution, gambling, and racketeering.
 He gained power through petty crime and by heading a chain of brothels.
 From about 1902 until his murder in 1920, he led a gang that became known after his death as the Chicago Outfit.
 Johnny Torrio was an enforcer whom Colosimo imported in 1909 from New York and who seized control after his death.
 Al Capone, a Torrio henchman, allegedly was directly involved in the murder. Vincent Gigante
Vincent Louis Gigante ( ; March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "Chin", was a New York Italian-American mobster in the American Mafia who was boss of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005.
 Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 bouts between 1944 and 1947.
 He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family.
 Gigante was one of five brothers: Mario, Pasquale, Ralph and he all became mobsters in the Luciano family, forerunner of the Genovese family.
 Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest.
 Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957.
 After sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, following Vito's conviction for heroin trafficking, Gigante became a caporegime, overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates that operated out of Greenwich Village.
 Gigante was one of Genovese's most loyal supporters, siding with him throughout the struggle for power with Costello. Caporegime
A caporegime or capodecina, usually shortened to just a capo, is a rank used in the Mafia (both the Sicilian Mafia and Italian-American Mafia) for a "made member" of the crime family who heads a "crew" of soldiers and has major social status and influence in the organization.
 Caporegime is an Italian word, which is used to signify the head of a family in Sicily, but has now come to mean a ranking member, similar to captain or senior sergeant in a military unit.
 In general, the term indicates the head of a branch of an organized crime syndicate who commands a crew of soldiers and reports directly to the Don (Boss) or an Underboss or Streetboss. Cohen crime family
The Cohen crime family, or the Siegel crime syndicate, was an Italian-American Mafia / Jewish Mafia crime family created by New York Jewish American mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel in the early 1930s.
 Siegel ran Los Angeles and later Las Vegas' illegal gambling and prostitution rings with his lieutenants Mickey Cohen, David Berman, Harold "Hooky" Rothman, Moe Sedway and boss of the L.A. family Jack Dragna. East Harlem Purple Gang
The East Harlem Purple Gang was a semi-independent gang of Italian American hit-men and heroin dealers who, according to federal prosecutors, dominated heroin distribution in East Harlem and the Bronx during the late 1970s and early 1980s in New York City.
 Though mostly independent of the Italian-American Mafia and not an official Italian-American Mafia crew, the gang was originally affiliated with and worked with the Lucchese crime family and later with the Bonanno crime family and Genovese crime family.
 It developed its "closest ties" with the Genovese family, and its remnants or former members are now part of the Genovese family's 116th Street Crew. Samuel Carlisi
Samuel A. Carlisi also known as "Black Sam" and "Sam Wings" (December 15, 1914 – January 2, 1997), was a Chicago gangster who was in the Chicago Outfit criminal organization.
 Sam Carlisi's brother Roy was a caporegime in the Buffalo crime family, otherwise known as the Magaddino crime family.
 Roy was close to legendary Buffalo Mafia boss Stefano Magaddino, which gave Sam direct access to various east coast crime families that were aligned with the Buffalo Mafia such as those based in Rochester and Utica, New York and in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
 Sam was known to use these connections to further his gambling and bookmaking interests, to fence stolen goods and possibly for narcotics operations he was overseeing or involved in.
 He was a cousin of mobster Al Tornabene.
