Charles "Lucky" Luciano, born with the name Salvatore Lucania, on November 24, 1897 in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, and died on January 26, 1962. His parents, Antonio Lucania and Rosalia Caffarella, had four other children : Giuseppe (born 1885), Bartolomeo (born 1890), Filippa, called Fanny (born 1901) , and Concetta (born 1903) It is not clear how Luciano earned the nickname "Lucky". It may have come from surviving a severe beating and throat slashing by 3 men in 1929 as the result of his refusal to work for another mob boss. The nickname may also be attributed to his gambling luck, or to a simple mispronunciation of his last name

In 1906, when Luciano was 8 years old, the family emigrated from Sicily to the United States. They settled in New York City in the borough of Manhattan on its Lower East Side, a popular destination for Italian immigrants. At age 14, Luciano dropped out of school and started a job delivering hats. As a teenager, Luciano started his own gang and was a member of the old Five Points Gang. En 1917,during the entering of the United-States in the First World War, Lucky Luciano is recruited, for fighting with the american army.
