Born in Corleone, a Sicilian town near Palermo 1889, Reina began running criminal operations based mainly in the Bronx. During an era in which all food stuffs and beverages were refrigerated in ice boxes, Reina acquired a virtual monopoly on ice distribution. Reina's crime group first existed alongside the Morello crime family of the Bronx and Harlem, later under Morello relative Ciro "The Artichoke King" Terranova. Later on during Prohibition, Reina formed an alliance with rising Masseria crime organization and soon became a high-ranking member. Future government informant Joe Valachi married Reina's oldest daughter Carmela (she was called Millie for short and is often thought to have been named Mildred), despite the objections of her mother, brother, and uncles.
