Vincent Solano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent Solano (1923-1992) was a Chicago mobster and a caporegime within the Chicago Outfit involved in labor racketeering. A longtime organized crime figure on Chicago's Northside, he served as a chauffeur and bodyguard to Ross Prio. After Prio's death in 1972, Solano succeeded him as head of the Northside. In 1977, he was later elected union president of the Local 1 of the International Laborers Union, which included syndicate members Joseph Aiello, Sal Gruttadauro, Frank De Monte and Frank Colaianni as business managers [1], which he ran until his death of natural causes in 1992.
