Lucky Luciano has living relatives in Italy and the U.S. Luciano discovered that he had a cousin in Lercara Friddi, Sicily when he was deported in 1946. The cousin’s name was Calcedonia Lucania (male). Calcedonia had a son, Francesco, and Luciano became Francesco’s godfather. Francesco Lucania is still alive, as well as a relative named Giussepe Lucania who both still live in Sicily or Italy. And let’s not forget that Luciano had 4 siblings.

New York Post
August 12, 2007–THE life story of Lucky Luciano is finally coming to the big screen. Producer Bob DeBrino – who holds the movie option to “The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano,” by the late Martin Gosch and former N.Y. Times reporter Richard Hammer – is pitching studios a film about the Sicilian-born mob boss who helped the U.S. win World War II from his prison cell by ensuring labor peace on the docks. The crime kingpin, who was freed and exiled in 1946, collaborated with the authors on the condition that the book not be published until a decade after his 1962 death. New interest in Luciano was sparked by Joe Isgro, a former music promoter who in 2000 was sentenced to 50 months in jail for extortion and loan- sharking. Isgro surfaced in Hollywood claiming he had the rights to the Luciano story. “Rights to what?” Hammer sputtered. “There are no rights.” Luciano has no surviving relatives. Isgro created some confusion around Tinseltown, says DeBrino, but he’s pressing on. Being Italian is not a prerequisite for the lead role – DeBrino’s wish list includes George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.
