Biography

Giuseppe Giacomo Gambino (Palermo, May 21, 1941 – Milan, November 30, 1996), also known as u tignusu (the bald one) was a member of the Mafia and head of the San Lorenzo mandamento.

During the Second Mafia War in the beginning of the 1980s he was part of a "death squad" of the Corleonesi together with Mario Prestifilippo, Filippo Marchese, Vincenzo Puccio, Gianbattista Pullarà, Giuseppe Lucchese, Giuseppe Greco and Nino Madonia.

Since 1983, Gambino sat on the Sicilian Mafia Commission and was a close confidant of Totò Riina.

Gambino was involved in the killing of Antimafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, as well as the politician Salvo Lima in 1992, and businessman Libero Grassi who opposed extortion by the Mafia.

He was arrested and committed suicide in the San Vittore prison in Milan on November 30, 1996.
