Italian for boss of all bosses?
This title means capo di tutti capi in Italian, and was often used as a phrase by law enforcement and the media to describe an extremely powerful Mafia boss who held de facto control over the Mafia Commission in the United States. Many mob bosses were powerful, but none of them (except for Salvatore Maranzano) dared to declare themselves one lest they faced the ire of the other mafia families. The only person to ever declare himself boss of all bosses was Salvatore Maranzano, who was killed in 1931 by Lucky Luciano as a result of that; Luciano knew this title caused trouble and wanted to avoid further bloodshed among the families, and as a result abolished the title in favor of a Commission that set the rules for the mafia. The term is now seen as outdated since Joe Massino, the last person to hold the title, gave state's evidence against his fellow mafiosi in 2004.
The following mob bosses were seen as capo di tutti capi in the United States:
- Giuseppe "Peter" Morello (1890s-1910) - imprisoned on counterfeiting charges in 1910

Why did the us and Italy have so few deaths in ww1?
The US was not yet in the war and so missed participating in the massive bloodbaths which were the western front campaigns of 1915 and 1916. While the US toll is relatively much less than that of other major combatants, bear in mind that almost all these US casualties were suffered in the last six months of the war. US troops did not become heavily committed to combat in large numbers until June, 1918.
Italy was fighting on a front in northern Italy against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Campaigning here was more desultory and less vigorously prosecuted than on the front in France, except for the Caporetto Campaign, which was a disaster for Italy.
