The 1920s was a very eventful time period for the US crime scene. With the emergences of major crime bosses like Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Charles Luciano, and others there was much to be done in the crime world. Charles “Lucky” Luciano (born as Salvatore Lucania) would become a key player in the reshaping and modernization of the mafia and the crime world. Young Luciano would show signs of pursuing a criminal career. His parents and family however disapproved of their son’s action and career path and essentially exiled him, respecting his family’s wishes he would later change his name from Salvatore Lucania to Charles Luciano. He also by the age of 10 he involved extortion, and thievery. Upon his arrest for the distribution of drugs in 1915, the police would offered to release him if he would tell them what he knew about the mob, Luciano however refused to talk due to the Sicilian code of silence, this action would vastly considered pivotal in fast tracking his career in

Giovanni Gabrieli was a legendary composer of the 16th century. As the fundamental structure and ideas of the Catholic Church were being challenged by the Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, Gabrieli’s compositions were given the opportunity to be successful and influential to music in the coming centuries. His works helped to transform not only church music of the Catholic Church, but also secular music as well. Giovanni Gabrieli wrote significant works that ultimately shaped the rise of the symphony, including the development of purely instrumental works, the art of orchestration, and the concerto style. Without his innovations in composition, it is arguable that instrumental music would not have developed as quickly, or developed

Alessandro Rago gazed off into the horizon, on his rural farm in the mountains of southern Italy, which had been untouched by the new industrious technologies. These changes had not yet climbed their way into these treacherous mountains, a season of failed crops would likely kill off many of the village, for the people were already impoverish. However, there was hope of a new life, a land of unknown, but growing opportunity, America. Alessandro moved to Chicago, where he made a new life for himself and his family. Starting with a farmer looking for a chance in the new world, the generations that have come before me have shaped a family history that I can be proud of continuing.

Nico di Angelo is a 12 year old (well in body and mind, in reality he is probably around 82 years old), Italian demigod; his father is Hades, Lord of the Underworld and his mortal mother is Maria di Angelo, and his sister is Bianca. After Zeus murdered their mother, Hades sent Nico and Bianca to get their memories erased in the River Lethe then to the Lotus Hotel, where time is frozen and you do not age, but were retrieved by a Fury Alecto of Hades around 67 years later. Being one of the sons of one of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) puts him in a dangerous situation because, after World War Two, the Big Three were not allowed to have demigod children, but it was assumed Hades broke the Oath. When he was only eleven Bianca Di Angelo

Falcone graduated in 1961 and began to practice law, he then became a judge in 1966 on the coast of Sicily that was heavily populated with Mafiosi.

Giovanni Falcone’s early life of seeing the mafia first hand influenced him to stand against the mob and to stand for what is right in the eyes of the law. His belief of hard work and thorough investigations has made him one of the

Now, even though Alberto grew up in a stable family home, events that happened in his later life caused him to feel alone and by himself in the world. As he got older he has a lot of family issues that he had to deal with, like his brother, Diego, getting very sick. This had a huge impact on him. In addition, his father died in June 1933.  Giacometti was not able to see his father before he died and this took a huge toll on the artist. “Instead of taking charge of funeral arrangements…Alberto took to bed in a nearby room of the hospital, lying rigidly stiff like his dead father.” (Alberto Giacometti: Myth, Magic, and The Man, Lauri Wilson) He only got out of bed after the funeral and he did not even attend it. Then, not shortly after that he
