Al Capone was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Gabriele Capone was a barber from Castellammare di Stabia, a village south of Naples, Italy. And his mother, Teresina Raiola (maiden name), was a seamstress at a town in the province of Salerno. The Capones had immigrated to the United States in 1894, and lived in the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Gabriele and Teresina had seven sons and two daughters including: Vincenzo Capone, Raffaele Capone, Salvatore Capone, Erminio Capone, Umberto Capone, Matthew Capone, Rose Capone, Mafalda Capone, and of coarse, Al Capone (born Alfonso Capone).

Yale ordered Capone to Chicago after he was involved in a fight with a rival gang. Yale's purpose was for Capone to "cool off" there. The move started one of the most infamous crime careers in modern American history.
