In the novel a nickname of Vito Corleone is Il Patino...
What is that? I know that Il Padrino means the Godfather but i've never heard of il Patino...
Since my Italian (and sicilian) isn't very good I asked my father (who is a Sicilian)...He never heard of the word Patino..Neither does my uncle (who is also Sicilian)....
So, does anybody knows what it is? Maybe a western-sicilian dialect or something (because my family is from eastern-sicily)....

He was called Il Patino many times, not just one time...

On the end of the paragrpah my dutch version said this (I translated it to english): There was just one man who can take care of this. Il Patino. Don Corleone. What word do they use on that place in the original (english) version?

Originally posted by Lavinia from Italy: I think it's the Sicilian for "Padrino". In Sicily they pronounce the "d" and "t" consonants in a very peculiar way, and due to that pronunciation in the "dr" consonant group the "r" almost turn silent. I wonder if this make any sense to you?   Could be yes. The sicilian D followed by an R could very well sound like a T. But you can still hear the R, even though it's a strange sicilian R. And if it's sicilian it would be "U Padrinu", and that's pretty far from Il Patino. O sbaglio Lavinia?

That's all nice,but I also have una domanda  What is 'padrone'?I know for 'padrino'...
You were right about one thing. I have been watching. Couldn't help myself. Watching, waiting, holding my breath. But I'm no puppeteer Kevin, I don't make things happen. Doesn't work like that. Free will, it's like butterfly wings, one touch and it never gets off the ground. I only set the stage. You pull your own strings.

Well, "Patino" is definitely not an Italian word, but it could be an Italianized Sicilian, though. You know what I mean? For instance, if I want to Italianize an English word I could say "il godfader", which is the way a less skilled Italian than I (  ) would pronounce the word "godfather"!

it happens the same with the Godfather in spanish, for Tom Hagen is written "Consigliori" instead of "Consigliere". Maybe it is a mistake of the editor and not the type because it appears all the time, maybe it happens the same with il patino...
in mine it's "Consigliori", and i live in Connecticut - bought at
borders.
All right, you are what you are. It’s your nature. You stay close to me. You don’t do anything. You keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open. And you do what I tell you. Understand?
