Chapter one. The Apprenticeship of Alphonse Capone, the late 19th century saw millions of Italians leaving their homeland for North and South America, poverty caused by over population, lack of industrialisation, disease, deep rooted organized crime and inefficient land management by the rich elite was the spur for this diaspora. A flood of Italian immigrants sought better fortunes in the New World. Al Capone's parents, Gabrielle and Thomasina, called Teresa, grew up in Naples, Italy's third largest city. Situated in the southern part of the country, Naples was poor, crime ridden and crowded. In the late 18 hundreds, Gabrielle and Theresa decided to try their luck in America, a country that seemed fantastically rich compared to their homeland.
