Rosario Maceo (Sr.) (June 8, 1887 – March 29, 1954), also known as Papa Rose or Rose Maceo, was a Sicilian crime boss in Galveston, Texas in the United States. Because of his efforts and those of his brother Sam, Galveston Island became a nationally known resort town during the early and mid 20th century, during a period known as Galveston's Wide-Open Era. They owned various restaurant and casino venues including the now-vanished Hollywood Dinner Club and the Balinese Room. He became an Al Capone-like figure in the city. Sometimes known as the "Iron Glove", Maceo was the enforcer and head of operations for the business empire he and his brother formed.
