Biography[]
Salvatore Stracci was the son of Victor Stracci and Angelina Strazzi, one of his mistresses raised in Staten Island. Salvatore was a man who was known for his violent streaks and carried out hits by himself, and was an excellent sharpshooter and saboteur. He blended in with his environment by wearing dull-colored civilian clothing, and was a key hitman during the Five Families War. Stracci bombed Corleone warehouses try and weaken their distribution network as the Straccis were weakened by the deaths of Jack Fontana and other key made men, and he continued carrying out hits even after he became Don upon his father's murder in 1955.
Death[]
Stracci was killed on November 10, 1955, in a sabotage attempt on Holden Warehouse, a Corleone front near Hell's Kitchen in Little Italy. Angelo Granelli assigned the hit to Aldo Trapani from the Holy Cross Church in Hell's Kitchen, and Trapani drove to the warehouse, killing all of the Stracci enforcers. He shot Stracci, who was on a catwalk in one of the buildings, and Stracci fell to the bullet, which hit him in the head. Fortunately, he was killed before he could blow up the warehouse.
