Part 1/10:
The Story of Carlos Marcello: Kingpin of New Orleans
In the early 20th century, a young Sicilian boy named Carlos Marcello arrived in the bustling streets of New Orleans. Disembarking from a boat in 1910, he encountered a city teeming with jazz, corruption, and the gloomy realities of immigrant life. At just eight years old, Marcello spoke no English, had no money, and lacked connections. Yet, he embodied the American dream's promise for immigrants, seizing opportunities that would eventually lead him to become a powerful figure in organized crime.
