I always thought that Don Corleone and the Corleone Family were based on Carlo Gambino and the Gambino Family. [/b]You got A good point there. The Gambino family was the strongest and richest family during the 40`s, and thats when the corleone`s where about, and teh corleone`s where the strongest and richest out of the five families. But I compared them with Genovese because they are currently the strongest and richest.
