The Story

The Story – From Sicily to Chicago

Baron Antonio’s story begins in Italy, where his family was ambushed and murdered when he was just eight years old. He was sent to the United States under protection from Don Vito, the Godfather of Sicily, fearing that those who slaughtered his family would come to finish the job.

After arriving at Ellis Island, the boy — now called “Tony” for safety — found himself in the back alleys of Little Italy, New York, learning the ropes alongside none other than Al Capone. Their paths would diverge and cross again when both men settled in Chicago, where they resumed their relationship — riding and conducting business from the back seat of this very Lincoln limousine.

 Tony went on to lead operations on the enforcer side of the criminal empire known as Murder, Inc. His life would later be immortalized in the book “Countess Athena and Godfather’s Twins” by Lewis Barton, and partially reflected in the iconic Godfather films — with Marlon Brando’s character reportedly mimicking Tony’s voice.
