Signature
Nicolo "Cola" Schiro (born Nicolò Schirò;[a]Italian pronunciation:[nikoˈlɔskiˈrɔ]; September 2, 1872 – April 29, 1957) was an early Sicilian-born New York City mobster who, in 1912, became the boss of what later become known as the Bonanno crime family.
Schiro's leadership of the mafia clan would see it orchestrate the "Good Killers" murders, control gambling and protection rackets in Brooklyn, engage in bootlegging during Prohibition, and print counterfeit money.
A conflict with rival mafia boss Joe Masseria would force Schiro out as boss, after which he returned to Sicily.
