Everything we now know about the Prohibition Era architect of the American Mafia.
The discovery of an old photograph* purported to be of Salvatore Maranzano sparked an Informer special issue dedicated to the one-time American Mafia "Boss of Bosses." The issue tackles such questions as:

What recent discoveries have been made?*
Why was Maranzano important in U.S. Mafia history?
What did Maranzano certainly NOT look like?
What was Maranzano up to in Dutchess County, New York?
What was revealed about Maranzano by those who knew him?
Where were the significant locations in his life and career?
When did Maranzano-related events occur?
How has he been depicted in motion pictures?
Why did he hire Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll for the planned murder of "Lucky Luciano"?
Did Maranzano become a U.S. citizen?
What happened on Sept. 10, 1931?
What was in Maranzano's memorandum book?
What do we know about his time in Sicily?
Was there really a post-Maranzano purge in the Mafia?

This is an Amazon Kindle e-book edition of the Informer journal, which is generally published as a magazine in print and electronic (PDF) formats. See mafiahistory.us/informer/ for more information. The Maranzano issue features fourteen articles and columns, more than three dozen images and maps, as well as source citations.

(* Sadly, it was later learned that the image had been mislabeled by an Italian magazine back in 1931.)
