The De Luca Family

The De Luca family is a former cadet family under La Famiglia Nostra. While serving under the Calabreses, they mostly oversaw the Family's brothels and prostitution business. The De Lucas owned a number of hotels, apartment buildings, lounges, and cabaret clubs where they pimped out vulnerable young women and men to the paying Johns of Chicago. The Endrizzi family were loyal friends of the De Lucas, often providing security for their locations. When the Endrizzis decided to break omerta and split from La Famiglia, the De Lucas were soon to follow.

## Notable Members

### Angelica De Luca

Angelica De Luca (age 24) is one of the last surviving members of the De Luca family. She is the oldest - and only - daughter of former patriarch Christian De Luca and his wife Rossana. Angelica married Ceasario Calabrese a few years before 192X, thus becoming Angelica Calabrese. However, the marriage did not last long. Angelica was reportedly deeply unhappy with Ceasario and wanted a divorce long before her family chose to violate their omerta. When the De Lucas chose to split from La Famiglia, Angelica wasted no time in filing divorce papers. She's described as an anxious, high-strung woman with a hair-trigger temper who fought often with Ceasario, though she did her best to put on a happy face for his family.

## Other Members

### Isidore De Luca

Bartolomeo's younger brother, age 35. Isidore is technically the current family patriarch after the death of his father and elder brother. However, Isidore has no desire to rekindle the family business after their violent fall from grace. Isidore has mostly been described as lazy and wanting to take life at his own pace, living in peace, wealth, and comfort. However, he's still being hunted by La Famiglia hitmen even now.

### Sansone De Luca

The youngest of the De Luca brothers at age 31. Sansone feels himself held back by his older brother Isidore's laziness and lack of motivation. He, too, is being hunted by La Famiglia hitmen.

### Rossana De Luca

Rossana De Luca (age 59) was the wife of former family patriarch Christian De Luca and the mother of Bartolomeo, Isidore, Sansone, and Angelica. Rossana mostly looked the other way when it came to her family's business, though she reportedly found it deeply distasteful. Due to her lack of involvement in the prostitution ring and her friendship with Claudia Calabrese, Rossana has been allowed to live despite the fact that her sons broke their omerta.

## Deceased Members

### Christian De Luca

Christian De Luca was the patriarch of the De Luca family before his sudden death at the hands of the Streetsweepers. He met his end when the Streetsweepers conducted a raid on one of his brothels. With Christian dead, his leadership passed to his oldest son - Bartolomeo.

### Bartolomeo De Luca

Bartolomeo De Luca (age 39 at his death, nicknamed 'Bart') was the underboss in charge of the De Luca family enterprise. He assumed the role of leader after the death of his father, Christian De Luca. Bartolomeo was married to Carlotta Endrizzi and had a close relationship with his brother-in-law Eduardo. Despite his position as the underboss of the family, most everyone knew Bartolomeo as a follower who preferred to let other, stronger people do the thinking for him. He died at the hands of Henry Scaglione after he participated in the kidnapping of Mattheo and Giulietta Calabrese.

## Businesses

### Metropolitan Smoking Club

The Metropolitan Smoking Club was a business owned by the De Lucas on the North Side - a nice but inconspicuous building. The first floor was a cigar bar where patrons could smoke and interact with the pretty "waitresses" on staff. However, the second and third floors were reserved for less socially acceptable vices.

### The OverNite Motel

A sleazy hotel on Lake Side where the De Lucas offered a lower-class brand of services -- cheap company for the low-wage factory workers.
