Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

He studied to become a pianter in Italy. His father, Vittorio Drago, was the Don of the Florida syndicate. He like Michael Corleone was reluctant to join his father's business. After Benito Mussolini came to power in the 1940s, he was forced to help his father and join the business.

By 1954, the same year Michael became Don, Sam Drago became the don of the Florida syndicate. Under him, there were rarely any arguments at all and there was maintained peace through Tampa. He vouched for Carlo Tramonti many times, as having been friends with him for a long time.
