Al Capone was born in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City] to a family of Italian immigrants from a village near [[Naples]]. He began his criminal career there as a bookmaker and small-time [[ganster]] employed by [[Francesco Yale]], the leader of the [[Unione Siciliana]], a mobbed up insurance company. In a Brooklyn watering hole during the [[First World War]], Capone lewdly insulted the sister of a "made guy." As a result, he was attacked and permanently disfigured on the cheek. He was later dubbed "Scarface" because of the injury. Deeply sensitive about his scars, Capone liked to claim that he was wounded in action while serving with Major [[Charles W. Whittlesey]]'s [[Lost Battalion]] in the [[Argonne]] Forest.
