The book is dedicated to Mr. Cleri, but does anyone know who he was?

Huh?! confused Mario wasn't even with Random House when the Godfather came out rolleyes

Cleri is Mario's family name (Does Clericuzio sound familiar? That's the family name in The Last Don) -- Anthony is Mario's brother.

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! tongue lol

i thought he's talking about the Omerta book Don JG. Anthony Cleri's name was mentioned in the last page of the book (Acknowledgements).

Besides, I thought Carol Gino was his editor at Random house.


What is there to sing about? There is singing when babies are baptized, when you celebrate a marriage. Men sing as they work. Soldiers sing as they march into battle. And there is singing when people die.

Yes, Nicholas Cage is a nephew of FFC and Talia Shire. Son of their brother, name August(o)?? Real name Nicholas Kim Coppola.

According to the interview with Mario on Larry King(I found the transcript online) That was his stepfather's last name. They had later changed it to Cleri but Mario used the original in the Last Don.

Speaking of Coppolas, for a long time there was an "album rock" DJ in New York--Mark Coppola--who is, I think, a cousin. He was on WNEW FM, and may still be around
