I don't care how much makeup they gave him, but I really doubt Ciccio was in his 30's back then! I'm not saying he doesn't resemble him, because he does -- many features match up almost perfectly. But I just really doubt Dick Smith woulda spent as much time or more on him as he did on Brando, making him look much older -- and realistically so. Of course, I could be wrong. Guest24 needs to comment on it... 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

That's Don Cicco!

Turnbull and Don Cardi vs. SC and Don Malta! This could get very interesting! Ok, let the betting begin! Don Cardi

His weight and some makeup could have made him look older. ...[/b]It can't possibly be Don Ciccio. That actor was obviously already in his late 50's at the very least ... even in the early scene when Vito's mother is killed. Anyway...why on earth would they have hired an actor in his 30's to play a character who is probably 20 years older. This was Hollywood...not a high school play. I think it might be the actor who played young Don Tomassino, who aided young Vito in killing Ciccio...and was then crippled by the gunshots while escaping. Apple

I know, Don C....don't worry!! I was laughing right along with you. Were you waiting for some kind of clever comeback??? Obviously not my style  . Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time I read the words: " I really can't belive I'm saying this, but I agree with Apple! " ... my earnings would probably equal Pacino's combined salary from all 3 GF films!! (Of course on other lists my real name is used...it's only here on the Gangster BB that am I known as a fruit) Apple

People seem to be stuck on this Don Ciccio answer ... can't anyone find a bio of this guy so we can know when he was born or even if he's still alive? Apple

Apple I've tried every possible search for this guy's bio, but to no avail. Nothing comes up about his date of birth. No pics either. It's time for the original poster of this question to reveal who this mystery person from GFII is! Don Cardi

1974 The Godfather Part II Actor: Giuseppe Sillato Don Francesco ___________________ Found on the internet. I'm just a newbie here: Is his full name Don Francesco Ciccio, or is it a totallt different actor?
And I'm sorry Don Cardi, but I think this game should go on for a while, Turnbull is going to show in this thread who's the king of GF knowledge.
Still think it's Don Ciccio, he could have been between 40 and 45 in the movie, Apple, with lot's of makeup
See, we can act as smart as we want, but at the end of the day, we still follow a guy who fucks himself with kebab skewers.

"Ciccio" (or "Cicc'") is the diminuitive of Francesco. His formal name is Don Francesco, but he's also known as Don Ciccio. In GFII, Sra. Corleone calls him "Don Ciccio" when she implores him to spare Vito's life. But that night, when his henchmen are shouting their warnings in the town's streets that whoever's hiding Vito should give him up, they say, in Italian, that "Don Francesco will thank you for it."
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

It was I, not Turnbull, who originally said that the man was Don Ciccio!  But Turnbulls a good man. Time to go to the mattresses with this! My Regime : Turnbull, Afs, you and myself. Don Geoff's Regime : SC, TIS, Apple and Geoff. Ok People, what regime are you going to join? Don Cardi
