  • Fratto was born Luigi Tomaso Giuseppi Fratto. He and his eight siblings grew up in the vicinity of Chicago's Hull House on the near west side. Fratto's criminal career began in 1926 when he was charged with stealing a $14 coat. In 1932 he was identified as a member of the Fiore Mob led by Ted Virgilio at the time, who was suspected of muscling in on speakeasies and caberets, demanding 50% of the profits. The owners, who illegally operated the places, seldom complained out of fear of being closed, or worse – murdered. By 1933 Fratto was listed as the secretary and treasurer of the Wardrobe Check Washroom Attendant and Doorman's Union. Around this time, Fratto and Virgilio were arrested for questioning in an $800,000 mail robbery. Later that year, in December, Fratto was again sought after, this time for a $250,000 heist pulled in the Loop. It was at this time that "Little New York" Louis Campagna came to Fratto and asked if he could recruit some boys for organizer jobs. Two of Fratto's childhood buddies, Sam Battaglia and Marshall Caifano, had recently been released from Bridewell, a detention center for boys, and Lou brought them aboard along with his cousin Felix "Milwaukee Phil" Alderisio. All four boys would become prominent figures in organized crime. Campagna would later send Fratto (accompanied by Milwaukee Phil) to Milwaukee to control the Outfit's rackets there where he would also befriend John Alioto, the Boss of the Milwaukee crime family.
