  • Salvatore Catalanotte was born in Trapani, Sicily on February 15, 1894. He immigrated to Detroit, Michigan, in 1905 where he worked for the bootlegging Giannola brothers during the Vitale-Giannola War. He was a popular figure who held tremendous influence in the Italian community due largely inpart charitable donations and standing as the head of Detroit's Unione Sicilione. A former gunman under Gianolla brothers Sam and Tony during the Gianolla/Vitale conflict which claimed the lives of more than 100 men between them, Sam survived more than a dozen attempts on his life to to emerge as the "king of Detroit's Little Sicily." Sam would go on to broker an often uneasy peace accord amoung the rival East and Westside Mobs. This alliance held up between the two sides primiarilly due to the respect each had for Catalonotte "as a man of honor and peace who clearly understood the concerns of both sides," the remaining members of the Gianolla and Vitale gangs agreed to join together in this alliance which came to be known as the Pascuzzi Combine. Catalonotte's newly formed unified Italian crime syndicate demonstrated it's power by corrupting officials within city and state government offices while insureing protection for it's growing list of underworld rackets. Power and Respect from each and every soldier he placed on the streets of Detroit allowed Salvatore "Sam Sings in the Night" Catalonotte to safely navigate the back alley speakeasies and blind pigs without fear of assasination.
