This is my great grandfather Luigi Costello Terracina technically the whole family is Costellos not an Terracina‘s that’s another whole family wacky story you can read that in the book anyway this guy is Captain Tony and Sal‘s father He fled to America in 1910 he was one of those connected guys from Sicily When he arrived to America he started a scrap metal company in Elizabeth New Jersey He never bought any metal and never sold any metal Luigi did a lot of side jobs in Chicago where his cousin Frank Costello had a couple nightclubs during prohibition in the early 30s that’s where Sal got to perform playing the piano and booked as the world strongest mind reader The story sounds unbelievable but if you go to published articles on this site you will see all the original ads from Frank Costello‘s night clubs with Sal‘s face on them and name check out the video After this post
