Guino Rinaldo

Guino Rinaldo (died 1932) was an Italian-American mobster and the underboss of the Chicago Outfit from 1930 to 1932.

Rinaldo was loyal to his friend Tony Camonte as Camonte rose through the ranks of the Outfit, serving as his right-hand man during his war with the North Side Gang in the 1920s and killing its leader O'Hara in 1924. Rinaldo initially rejected the advances of his boss' sister Francesca out of loyalty, and he executed the Outfit's titular boss Johnny Lovo in 1930 to avenge Lovo's attempted assassination of Camonte. While Camonte fled to Florida to evade the police, Francesca finally seduced Rinaldo, and they married in 1932. A day later, Camonte, looking for Francesca after she disappeared from their family's apartment, found Rinaldo at Francesca's apartment. The over-protective and infuriated Camonte shot his friend several times as he stood in the doorway to greet him, and it was Rinaldo's murder that led to the Chicago Police Department besieging Camonte's apartment and ultimately killing both Camonte siblings.
