After the murder of Unione Siciliana president Pasqualino "Patsy" Lolordo, Giunta became the new president of the Siciliana in 1929. He unsuccessfully tried to organize a revolt against Al Capone's gang.[1] As a result, according to legend, Giunta and his co-conspirators (Albert Anselmi and John Scalise) were beaten and shot to death by Capone at a party.[1] Their bodies were found the next day in Hammond, Indiana.[1]
Giunta was buried at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois.
