Hey all! Great board! anyway I am doing a research paper for a college class on who the real life organized crime individuals that Puzo based loosely or directly on, his characters from the Godfather novel. I know of some like frank sinatra being the basis for johnny fontaine, bugsy siegel basis for moe green but who was Vito Corleone based loosely on? also it would help greatly if you could let me know what books your info came from since i can further reasearch it and document it for my paper. thanks for your time!
