EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a chilling moment in American history, showcasing the notorious gang leader Joe Aiello and his henchmen in police custody. Taken in 1928 by an anonymous American photographer, this image offers a glimpse into the dark underbelly of organized crime during the Prohibition era. Joe Aiello, also known as Giuseppe Aiello, was a Sicilian-American who rose to power as one of the leaders of Chicago's criminal underworld. Born into a family with nine brothers from Castellammare del Golfo, he became infamous for his involvement in bootlegging, fraud, and other illicit activities. In this portrait-style photograph, Aiello stands alongside his henchmen while being held captive by law enforcement. The sinister atmosphere is palpable as their three-quarter-length figures exude an air of danger and defiance. Their faces betray no remorse or fear; instead, they wear expressions that hint at their resilience and cunning. This snapshot serves as a haunting reminder of the violence and corruption that plagued North America during the 1920s. It encapsulates not only the rise of American gangsters but also reflects societal tensions surrounding prohibition laws and widespread economic hardship. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this piece transports viewers back to a tumultuous period in history when mobsters like Joe Aiello reigned supreme over America's criminal landscape.
