Biography[]

Born in New York City where he was friends with Carmine Loviero, Amato later moved to Chicago and became part of Al Capone's mob. Some ten years later, he was dispatched, along with Joey Daniello, to help Capone's ally, Giuseppe Mariposa, take care of business in 1933.

However, Luca Brasi, acting under orders from Vito Corleone, arranged for Loviero to set up the two new arrivals before driving them to a nearby warehouse and brutally murdering them as a warning to Capone.
