Clemenza as a young man is dealing with guns and doesn't seem to hesitate to shoot a cop. Both are familiar with omerta and certain rituals. Both speak "Italian" fluently. Are they first or second generation immigrants?

Where did Vito settle when he came to America? For example the store he worked in? The little apartment they had?

Vito was later adopted by the Abbandando family in New York, and he befriended Genco Abbandando, who later became like a brother to him. When he was nineteen, Corleone married and started a family. Corleone began making an honest living at Abbandando's grocery store on Ninth Avenue.

I got that from the Godfather Wikia which is a good place to go if you want to look up certain info
