Editing Vito Genovese (section)

==Before The Castellammarese War==
Vito was born on the 27th of November in 1897 in Risigliano. When he was 15, the Genovese family moved to Little Italy in New York, where Vito began stealing and running errands for mobsters. He met [[Lucky Luciano]], one of his most important friends, and was imprisoned for illegal possession of a firearm when he was 19. In the 1920s, Vito and Lucky began working for [[Giuseppe Masseria]], one of the most powerful crime bosses at the time. Vito was indicted for counterfeiting, but was never charged. Vito eventually gained the trust of Masseria enough that he was sent to assassinate Masseria's ally Gaetano Reina, who Masseria suspected of plotting against him. Vito ambushed Reina in the street and shot him in the head.
