The reputed Mafia boss and leader of one of the "Five Families" that governed La Cosa Nostra had strong ties to Tucson. His family purchased property here in the 1940s. His children went to school at Sts. Peter and Paul. He owned a home in the Catalina Vista neighborhood near what is now Banner-University Medical Center.
Bonanno died in 2002.
