Between 1902 and 1906, members of the Gammuto family emigrated to the United States from Longobucco.
Emigration to the United States and Argentina reached its peak at this time as Longobucchesi such as the Gammuto family sought to escape poverty and the brigantaggio to find opportunity in the new world.
Since part of this myth is that only Sicilians were permitted to be members, the claim is contradicted by the fact that Yale was born in Longobucco, in the province of Cosenza, in the region of Calabria.
