Rosario Maceo (Sr.) (Italian pronunciation:[roˈzaːrjomaˈtʃɛːo] June 8, 1887 – March 29, 1954), also known as Papa Rose or Rose Maceo, was an Italian-American businessman, power broker and crime boss in Galveston, Texas in the United States. Because of his efforts and those of his brother Sam, Galveston Island became a nationally known resort city during the early and mid 20th century, during a period known as Galveston's Wide-Open Era. They owned various restaurant and casino venues including the now-vanished Hollywood Dinner Club and the Balinese Room. He became an Al Capone-like figure in the city.[1] Sometimes known as the "Iron Glove", Rose was the top enforcer for the empire he and his brother formed.
