WELCOME TO THE CORLEONE FAMILY
“I’m going to tell you the story of a boy. His name was Leolucas. He was born more than a thousand years ago, in Sicily.When he was only twelve, he saw his parents brutally murdered by soldiers.After that, he was alone; and even though he was just a boy, he ran his Family’s estate and worked the land, like a man.Then one day, he heard the summons to his true destiny. He gave all his money, and his land, to the poor—he became a monk. He performed many selfless acts and was loved by everybody who knew him. He died peacefully at the age of a hundred.
“Even after his death, he performed many miracles, affirmed by the Holy Father in Rome. Leolucas is now the Patron Saint of Corleone.
“A thousand years later, on the very land that Leolucas once worked, another boy was born. He had a happy childhood, until, when he was twelve, some men came to kill his father.Three shots from a lupara. His mother was stabbed. Gutted like an animal.The boy escaped.That was me. I was that boy. I came to America, I took the name of my hometown. I worked hard, helped my friends, and built up a good business.And I avenged the wrongs that had been done to my Family.This is our tradition.These men of honor, too, are my Family. La
Famiglia Corleone. If you want to be with us, we now invite you to be, reborn, as one of us.
“The instruments by which you live and die are the gun and the knife.
“Back and forth. If you ever betray your friends, you will burn, just as the picture of our beloved patron saint now burns your bloodied palm. Do you agree to this?
“You are now one of our qualified men. Gli uomini qualificat.
Please, introduce yourself to your brothers.”
—Don Vito Corleone,
Summer 1950

Neighborhood Tours
The first five sections are a tour of each neighborhood. They are divided into the following:
1.Businesses and rackets: Every business that can be extorted is shown in alphabetical order.
These businesses do not currently pay a tribute to the Corleone Family
and should be extorted. Some also contain a racket in a back room, upstairs level, or basement.Take over all these locations, and be sure to blow any safes you see.
The order of Family difficulty is the Tattaglias, Straccis, Cuneos, and Barzinis
Therefore, a Cuneo-owned business marked “Easy” is more difficult than a “Medium” or “Hard”Tattaglia venue.The difficulty for
proprietors or racket bosses is the same throughout; it’s just more difficult to reach a Barzini Racket Boss.
Sign: The neon sign above the door is shown, along with an exterior picture of the business.
ID Number: This is an identification the FBI uses for each residence in the city.
Map Sector: Use this to cross-reference the exact spot of the building.
Controlling Family: This shows you which rival clan the business owner or racket boss pays.
Difficulty: This shows how easy it is to extort from a proprietor or racket boss.
Venue Value: The more “$”s shown (from 1 to 5), the greater the payout (and difficulty) when taking over this venue.
Missions: This shows whether the venue is used during the campaign walkthrough.
Primary and Secondary Use: This shows the venue’s use, including the main business, any racket, and if the place is a safehouse.
Proprietor or Racket Boss: The person you’ll be shaking down is pictured.
Preferred Extortion Tactics: This shows the proprietor’s or racket boss’s weaknesses. Refer to the “Training” section for the exact techniques to try.
Breaking Point: When they agree to pay.
Boiling Point: When you push them too far and extortion fails.
Min/Max Payout: What you can extort between the breaking and boiling points.
With P.E.T. (Preferred Extortion Tactics): What you can extort between breaking and boiling points once the weak spot is found.
“No Pressure” Level: The minimum level your character needs to be before he can just walk in, talk to the proprietor, and receive the business cut without negotiation or combat.
Buyout Price: The price the racket boss is willing to take so you can own the racket and receive the maximum cut.
Safe: If the place has a safe to crack, be sure you don’t miss it!
History: A complete history of each establishment is given.

TOUR OF THE CITY
A BRIEF HISTORY OF LITTLE ITALY
A flood of Italian immigrants in the latter part of the 19th century settled in a neighborhood that officially stretches from Lafayette Street to Bowery Street, and Houston Street to Canal Street. The area was famed for its local shops boasting the best Italian bakeries and restaurants, but by the time of the great depression and World War II, it was plagued by an increasing number of gangster-types trading illicit wares from crumbling basements and darkened, oppressive back alleys.The flavor of Little Italy has currently turned a little sour, and although there are plenty of businesses here, the feeling of oppression looms.
Please note that one warehouse and a number of items and merchants reside in the series of expressways linking Little Italy to Hell’s Kitchen and New Jersey at the Holland Tunnel Plaza. Any important areas in this zone have the suffix “(Loop)” after their name.

Nobody really likes Paulie the Peel, not even his own Tattaglia Family. He’s certainly tough, but the guys helping him with his small counterfeiting racket are not very loyal. Fabulous restaurant owner Davi might welcome a change of Family loyalty, to get her establishment to really
live up to its big Broadway location.
