Vito was the original. A great man. A man of reason and a warm hearted man. And he did well as Don.

But we all know that Vito could never dream of Michael's accomplishments. Not even DREAM. One word: Immobilliare - and everything that lead up to it. Along with a partnership with a government (cuban). Etc.
