Carlo "Don Carlo" Gambino (Italian: ['karlo gam'bi?no]; August 24, 1902 – October 15, 1976) was a Sicilian-American mobster and boss of the Gambino crime family, which is still named after him.
After the 1957 Apalachin Convention, he unexpectedly seized control of the Commission of the American Mafia.
Gambino was inconspicuous and secretive; he was convicted of tax evasion in 1937 but had his sentence suspended.
He lived to the age of 74, when he died of a heart attack in bed.
