While he was a unifying force initially, he later became a central figure in underworld conflicts and was an early casualty of the Castellammarese War.

Morello was born on May 2, 1867, to Calogero and Angela Piazza Morello in Corleone, Sicily. ^[01] A sister, Maria, was born several years later.

Calogero Morello died in the early 1870s, and Angela subsequently married Bernardo Terranova. The couple had three sons, Vincent, Ciro and Nicholas "Coco," and three daughters, Lucia, Salvatrice "Dora," and Rosalia. ^[02]

A birth defect left Morello with a badly disfigured right hand. The only identifiable digit on that hand was the fourth finger, the rest were curled together into a small knot. ^[03] The affliction may have provoked fear among superstitious observers in an Italian culture that equated left-handedness with evil. ^[04]
