The Italian American Mafia is perhaps the most iconic Mafia group in history. The La Cosa

Nostra spanned the entire country, running some of the most successful crime families.

In 1946, a young man by the name of Jimmy Fratiano moved from Cleveland to Los Angeles.

Fratiano had spent most of his life immersed in crime. He spent his teenage life there growing up seeing all these people with money and status and respect.

When he arrived in LA, he became close with LA Crime Boss Jack Dragna and was soon inducted into the LA Crime family as a made man.

In that culture, he was an admired personality and they knew that Jimmy could carry out just about whatever deed needed to be done.

And of course, he proved over the years that he was quite capable of doing that.

Disagreements with high ranking members would put his life in danger, leading Fratiano to make a life-changing decision and switch sides.

Aladina James Jimmy Fratiano was born on November 14, 1913 in a small town north of Naples, Italy.

As an infant, his family emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio. His father left Italy first and he and his mother followed soon after.

Dennis McDonald served as Fratiano's lawyer for 20 years and he provides more information as to why the family left Italy.
