Salvatore #Maranzano, #Mafia leader from #Sicily, passed through #NiagaraFallsNY on February 5, 1926, on the way to a farm he had purchased in Saltfleet Township, Ontario, #Canada.

Maranzano soon relocated to New York City. In a few years, he led a bloody rebellion against Mafia boss of bosses Giuseppe #Masseria. Following Masseria's assassination by his own lieutenants in spring 1931, Maranzano took for himself the position of boss of bosses.

Maranzano was assassinated in New York City on September 10, 1931.
