Salvatore Catalanotte
Salvatore "Sam Sings in the Night" Catalanotte (born Salvatore Catalanotto; 15 February 1893[1] – 14 February 1930) was an Italian-American mobster. "Sings in the night" is a translation of a close misspelling of his last name (from the Italian "caNta la notte"). Catalanotte immigrated from Sicily to Detroit in 1912 and participated and survived the Giannola and Vitale gang war.[2][3] After surviving this war, Catalanotte later assumed the highest leadership position within the Detroit mafia.[4] In addition to his mafia dealings, Catalanotte was also recorded to be a baker and a director of the Detroit Italian bakeries.[5][6][7] Catalanotte died on February 14, 1930, from pneumonia and his funeral took place in Detroit.[7]
