Biography[]

Frankie Fernetti was born in New York City, New York to a family of Italian descent. Fernetti was recruited into the Tattaglia crime family as an associate due to his experience as a hustler, and he came to run a gambling racket on the second floor of Emilio's Butcher Shop in Little Italy. His family offered him little help, with Tattaglia associate Mikey Saleri paying him monthly visits. In August 1945, Corleone crime family associate Aldo Trapani forced Fernetti to give the Corleones a cut of the action.
