Tommaso Buscetta was born on July 13, 1928, in Palermo, Sicily, into a family with strong ties to the local Mafia. Growing up in a world where criminal activities were a way of life, it was almost inevitable that he would follow in his family's footsteps.

From a young age, Buscetta became involved in a range of criminal activities, including theft and robbery. His intelligence and charisma quickly caught the attention of Mafia bosses, and he was inducted into the Sicilian Mafia, known as Cosa Nostra, at the age of 20. This marked a significant turning point in Buscetta's life, and he fully embraced the Mafia's code of silence, known as "Omertà".
