Lavish Funeral for Chicago Gang Leader Angelo Genna
Chicago’s gangland gave Angelo Genna a costly send off with twenty thousand mourners in Little Italy. Thirty flower-laden automobiles led the hearse, a gold-lettered silver coffin, and a $50,000 display. Genna’s burial echoed the era’s bloodstained underworld pageantry and recalled Dion O’Banion’s past, marked by a $30,000 monument.
