====Regarding edits made during [[March 10]] [[2007]] ([[UTC]])====
Capone was born to Gabriele Capone (12 December 1864 &ndash; 14 November 1920) and his wife Teresina Raiola ([[28 December]] [[1867]] &ndash; 29 November 1952) in [[Brooklyn, New York]], at the turn of the 20th century. Gabriele was a [[barber]] from [[Castellammare di Stabia]], a village about 15 miles south of [[Naples]], [[Italy]]. Teresina was a [[seamstress]] and the daughter of Angelo Raiola from [[Angri]], a town in the province of [[Salerno]]. The Capones had immigrated to the [[United States]] in 1894, and settled in the [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]] neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Gabriele and Teresina had seven sons and two daughters:

Capone's life of [[crime]] began early. As a teenager, he joined two gangs, the [[Brooklyn Rippers]] and the [[40 Thieves|Forty Thieves Juniors]], and engaged in petty crime.

Capone quit school in the sixth grade at the age of 14, after he fought with a teacher at Public School 133. He then worked at odd jobs around Brooklyn, including in a candy store and a bowling alley. After his initial stint with small-time gangs, Capone joined the notorious [[Five Points Gang]], headed by [[Frankie Yale]]. It was at this time he began working as a [[bartender]] and [[Doorman|bouncer]] at Yale's establishment, The Seedy Harvard Inn. It was there that Capone would engage in a knife fight with a thug, Frank Gallucio, after Capone had made a bold move on Gallucio's sister. Gallucio deeply slashed Capone's left cheek with a switchblade, earning him the nickname that he would bear for the rest of his life, “Scarface”.
 
On December 30 1918, Capone married Mae Josephine Coughlin, an Irish woman who shortly before their marriage had given birth to his son, Albert Francis ("Sonny") Capone. The couple lived in [[Brooklyn]] for a year. In 1919, they moved to [[Amityville]], [[Long Island]], to be close to “Rum Row”.
 
Capone was still working for Frankie Yale and is thought to have committed at least two murders before he was sent to [[Chicago]] in 1919. Yale ordered his protégé to Chicago after Capone was involved in a fight with a rival gang. Yale's intention was for Capone to “cool off” there. The move primed one of the most notorious crime careers in modern American history.
 
==Capone moves to Chicago==
 
The Capone family moved to a small, unassuming house at 7244 South Prairie Avenue in Chicago. [[Cicero, Illinois]], a Chicago suburb, which would serve as Al Capone's first headquarters. Initially, Capone took up grunt work with [[Johnny Torrio|Giovanni "Johnny" Torrio]]'s outfit, but the elder Torrio immediately recognized Capone's talents and by 1922 Capone was Torrio's second in command, responsible for much of the [[alcoholic beverage|alcohol]] and [[prostitution]] [[Racket (crime)|rackets]] in the city of Chicago. He later took over for Torrio.
 
==Activity in Cicero, Illinois==
 
After the [[1923]] election of reform mayor [[William Emmett Dever]] in Chicago, Chicago's city government began to put pressure on the gangster elements inside the city limits. To put its headquarters outside of city jurisdiction and create a safe zone for its operations, the Capone organization muscled its way into [[Cicero, Illinois]]. This led to one of Capone's greatest triumphs, the takeover of Cicero's town government in 1924. The 1924 town council elections in Cicero became known as one of the most crooked elections in the Chicago area's long history, with voters threatened at the polling station by thugs. His mayoral candidate won by a huge majority, but only weeks later said that he would run Capone out of town. Capone met with his puppet-mayor and personally knocked him down the town hall steps, a powerful assertion of gangster power, and a huge victory for the Torrio-Capone alliance.
 
The event was marred, however, by the death of Capone's brother Frank at the hands of the police. It broke Al's heart. Unshaven (a gangster form of mourning), Capone cried openly at the funeral and ordered the closure of all the speakeasies in Cicero for a day as a mark of respect.
 
==Capone's wealth and power grows in Chicago==

Severely injured in a 1925 assassination attempt, the shaken Torrio returned to [[Italy]] and turned over his business to Capone. Capone was notorious during the [[Prohibition]] era for his control of large portions of the Chicago underworld and his bitter rivalries with North Side gangsters such as [[Dean O'Banion|Deanie O'Banion]], [[Bugs Moran]] and O'Banion lieutenant [[Hymie Weiss]]. Although the Capone organization was making a great deal of money from illegal prostitution and alcohol (some estimates were that between 1925 and 1930 it was grossing $100 million a year), Capone was virtually immune from prosecution due to [[witness intimidation]] and the bribing of city officials, such as Chicago mayor [[William Hale Thompson|William "Big Bill" Hale Thompson]].
 
Capone was reputed to have several other retreats and hideouts including [[Brookfield, Wisconsin]]; [[Olean, New York]]; [[French Lick, Indiana]]; [[Dubuque, Iowa]]; [[Hot Springs, Arkansas]]; [[Johnson City, Tennessee]]; and [[Lansing, Michigan]].
 
In 1928, Capone bought a retreat on [[Biscayne Bay|Palm Island]], [[Florida]]. It was shortly after this purchase that he orchestrated the most notorious gangland killing of the century, the 1929 [[St. Valentine's Day Massacre]]. Although details of the killing of the 7 victims are still in dispute and no one was ever indicted for the crime, their deaths are generally linked to Capone and his henchmen, especially [[Jack McGurn|Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn]], who is thought to have led the operation. By staging the massacre, Capone was trying to dispose of his arch-rival [[Bugs Moran]], who controlled gang operations on the North Side of [[Chicago]]. Moran was late for the meeting and escaped an otherwise certain death.
 
Throughout the 1920s there were a number of attempts to assassinate Capone. He was shot in a restaurant, and had his car riddled with bullets more than once. However, most of the would-be assassins were incompetent, and Capone was never seriously wounded. Members of the gang that had wounded Torrio shot into the headquarters of Capone's gang, which was disguised as a doctor's office and an antique dealer's shop. Nobody was hurt in the raid (Capone's bodyguard threw him to the ground at the first sound of gunfire) although the headquarters was riddled with bullet holes.
 
Capone often tried to whitewash his image and be seen as a community leader. For example, he started a program, which was continued for decades after his death, to fight [[rickets]] by providing a daily milk ration to Chicago school children. Such efforts, however, did not change his reputation for violence and murder within the city.
 
==Federal income taxes and downfall==
[[Image:AlCapone.JPG|thumb|Al Capone's privileged cell in [[Eastern State Penitentiary]], where he spent ten months in 1929-1930 for possession of a concealed weapon [http://www.insidethecriminalmind.com/alcapone7.jpg] ]]
 
Although Capone always did his business through front men and had no accounting records in his own name (even his mansion was in his wife's name), [[Al Alcini]] started linking him to his earnings. The federal income tax laws allowed the federal government to pursue Capone on [[Tax avoidance and tax evasion|tax evasion]], their best chance of finally convicting him.
 
Part of the reason Capone was taken to task in this way was his status as a celebrity. On the advice of his publicist, he did not hide from the media by the mid 1920s and began to make public appearances. When [[Charles Lindbergh]] performed his famous trans-atlantic flight in 1927, Capone was among the first to push forward and shake his hand upon his arrival in Chicago. He gained a great deal of admiration from many of the poor in Chicago for his flagrant disregard of the prohibition law that they all despised. He was viewed for a time as a lovable outlaw, partially due to his extravagant generosity to strangers and often lending a hand to struggling Italian-Americans. His night club, the [[Cotton Club (Chicago)|Cotton Club]], became a hot-spot for hot new acts such as [[Charlie Parker]] and [[Bing Crosby]]. He was often cheered in the street, and it was only the brutal murders of the [[St Valentine's day massacre]] that made people view him once again as a killer and social parasite. This was despite Capone's opening of [[soup kitchen]]s in Chicago's poorest [[suburb]]s.
 
Capone headed a list of “[[Public enemy (term)|public enemies]]” corrupting the city compiled by chairman of the [[Chicago Crime Commission]] [[Frank J. Loesch]] in April 1930. The list was published by newspapers nationwide, and Capone became known as “Public Enemy No. 1”.
 
Pursuing Capone were Treasury agent [[Eliot Ness]] and his hand-picked team of incorruptible [[U.S. Treasury]] agents, "[[The Untouchables (law enforcement)|The Untouchables]]", and internal revenue agent [[Frank J. Wilson|Frank Wilson]] of the Treasury Department's Bureau of Internal Revenue<ref>In the early 1950s, the name of the bureau was changed to [[Internal Revenue Service]].</ref>, who was able to find receipts linking Capone to illegal income and evasion of taxes on that income. This story has become a legend and the subject of books and films.
 
Capone was tried in a federal court in 1931. The Alcinis tried to help Capone, but he pleaded guilty to the charges, hoping for a [[plea bargain]]. But after the judge refused his [[lawyer]]'s offers, and the [[jury]] was replaced on the day of the trial to frustrate Capone's associates' efforts to bribe or intimidate the original jury, Al Capone was found guilty on five of twenty-two counts of tax evasion for the years 1925, 1926, and 1927, and wilful failure to file returns for 1928 and 1929. He was sentenced to eleven years in a federal prison.<ref>For court decisions regarding Al Capone and his tax problems, see ''Capone v. United States'', 56 F.2d 927, 3 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) paragr. 885 (7th Cir. 1932), ''cert. denied'', 286 U.S. 553 (1932); and ''United States v. Capone'', 93 F.2d 840, 38-1 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) paragr. 9011 (7th Cir. 1937), ''cert. denied'', 303 U.S. 651 (1938).</ref>
 
== Prison time ==
The Capone empire soon began to wither after the repeal of Prohibition and the imprisonment of its leader. Capone entered Alcatraz with his usual confidence. Many of his “friends” — who in fact feared him rather than liked him — had gone straight. When Al Capone returned, these friends tried to avoid him, or simply agreed to do as he asked, but did not do do so. Capone beat one of his “best friends” nearly to death for defying him. When Capone attempted to bribe guards he was sent to the “hole” ([[solitary confinement]]).
 
During his early months at Alcatraz, Capone earned an enemy for showing his disregard for the social order of the prison when he cut in line while prisoners were waiting for a haircut. [[James Lucas]], a Texas bank robber serving 30 years, reportedly confronted the former syndicate leader and told him to get back at the end of the line. When Capone asked if he knew who he was, Lucas reportedly grabbed a pair of the barber's scissors and, holding them to Capone's neck, answered ''"Yeah, I know who you are, greaseball. And if you don't get back to the end of that fucking line, I'm gonna' know who you were."
 
Capone earned the contempt of many of the inmates in Alcatraz when he refused to take part in a prisoners' strike after a sick inmate was accused of [[malinger]]ing, denied medical treatment, and died. Continuing his work in the prison laundry, he was continually harassed by other prisoners and often called a "scab" or "rat". He was eventually allowed to stay in his cell until the strike was resolved.
 
Shortly after returning to work, an unidentified inmate threw a sash weight at his head, but he suffered only a deep cut on the arm after being pushed out of the way by train robber [[Roy Gardner]].
 
Reassigned to mopping up the prison bathhouse, he was nicknamed by inmates as the "wop with the mop". He was later stabbed in the back by Lucas, who was sentenced to [[solitary confinement]] in "the Hole": Capone was hospitalized for a week. He was later harassed further, and unsuccessful attempts on his life were made throughout his prison sentence, including spiking his coffee with [[lye]] and attacking him as he was walking towards the dentist's office. He remained under protection from several inmates (possibly due to payoffs by the Chicago Outfit).
 
Eventually, Capone's mental state began to deteriorate. Amongst other things, he would repeatedly make his bed and then undo it for hours. At times, Capone refused to leave his cell at all, crouching in a corner and talking to himself in [[Italian language|Italian]] or, according to some, complete [[gibberish]]. He began telling people that he was being haunted by the ghost of James Clark, a victim in the [[St. Valentine's Day Massacre]]. Paranormal investigators were even sent in to observe him and his surroundings, though they ultimately decided that Capone was simply mentally unwell. It became apparent that Capone was not going to be able to resume his career as a gangster.
 
== Physical decline and death ==
Capone's control and interests within organized crime decreased rapidly on his imprisonment. He lost weight, and his physical and mental health declined, most noticeably with the onset of [[dementia]] probably caused by an infection of [[syphilis]], untreated since it was contracted in his youth. Capone spent the final year of his 11-year sentence in the [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]] State Mental Institution. He then retired to his estate in [[Miami, Florida|Miami]], [[Florida]].
 
On [[21 January]] [[1947]], Capone had an [[Apoplexy|apoplectic]] stroke. He regained consciousness and started to improve, but contracted pneumonia on January 24, and died the next day from cardiac arrest (possibly also brought about by the 3rd stage complications of [[syphilis]]).
 
Alphonse Capone was originally buried in [[Mount Olivet Cemetery (Chicago)|Mount Olivet Cemetery]], in Chicago's far South Side between the graves of his father, Gabriele, and brother, Frank. However, in March 1950, the remains of all three family members were moved to [[Mount Carmel Cemetery (Hillsdale)|Mount Carmel Cemetery]] in Hillside, Illinois, west of Chicago.
 
== Popular culture ==
*One of the most notorious American gangsters of the 20th century, Capone has been the subject of numerous articles, books, and films. He has been portrayed on screen by [[Nicholas Kokenes]], [[Wallace Beery]], [[Paul Muni]], [[Barry Sullivan]], [[Rod Steiger]], [[Neville Brand]], [[Jason Robards]], [[Ben Gazzara]], [[Robert De Niro]], [[William Devane]], [[Titus Welliver]] and [[William Forsythe]].

*Capone and his era were highlighted in the 1959 television film ''[[The Untouchables (1959 TV series)|The Untouchables]]'' and its feature film and television series remakes, which have created the myth of the personal war between the crime lord and [[Eliot Ness]].
*Capone was an off-screen character (in a deleted scene that was added to the DVD release) in the 2002 film ''[[Road to Perdition]]''.
*He was a character in the comic book ''[[Tintin in America]]'', the only real person to appear as a character in the ''[[The Adventures of Tintin]]'' series.
*He was a Possessor in [[Peter F. Hamilton]]'s ''[[The Night's Dawn Trilogy]]'' science fiction novels.
*Capone is mentioned in the famous gangster novel "The Godfather," where he plays a part in Vito Corleone's past. In the Godfather, he is portrayed as a ruthless man, but one without tact.
*In several stories in the [[alternative history]] [[anthology]] ''[[Back in the USSA]]'' by [[Kim Newman]] and [[Eugene Byrne]], Capone is imagined as the brutal [[dictator]] of a United States of America which experienced a communist revolution in 1917 instead of Russia, and is presented as an obvious [[analog (English)|analog]] to [[Joseph Stalin]].
*In [[The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd]], Capone was toyed with in a very humorous episode.
*Capone is the subject of the [[Prince Buster]] song ''Al Capone'' and is the namesake of Rancid's ''[[Young Al Capone]]''. Capone also appeared on the album art for [[Sufjan Stevens]]'s 2005 album ''[[Illinois (album)|Illinois]]''.

The anfractuous tunnels are a very popular tourist attraction, due in part to the alleged link to Capone.
*Capone's [[persona]] and character have been used in fiction as a model for crime-lords and criminal masterminds ever since his death. His accent, mannerisms, facial construction, sometimes his physical stature, type of dress, and often even [[parody|parodies]] of his name are found in various [[cartoon]] series [[villain]]s as well as some movies.These characters are often shown as wily and crafty, rather than contemptible, criminal characters.
*''Al Capone'' is a brand of [[cigar]]s in [[Europe]].
*In [[Rocky II]] [[Burt Young]]'s [[Fictional character|character]] Paulie was likened to Capone by World Champion [[Apollo Creed]].
