The Rise of Marcelo: A Sicilian Boy's Journey to Power in New Orleans
In the sweltering summer of 1910, a small Sicilian boy disembarked from a boat onto the vibrant and chaotic streets of New Orleans. With no knowledge of the English language, no money in his pockets, and no familial connections to guide him, he stepped into a world teeming with jazz, corruption, and the promise of opportunity that America dangled before every immigrant. Little did anyone know that this boy, Marcelo, would one day grasp that elusive American dream and rise to become an influential figure with undeniable control over the Southern landscape.
