The novel mentioned Clericuzio and Corleone Families - 05/16/04 08:59 PM
Hey!
I received Omerta two days ago, and was beyond just pleased. It is a very rare item here in Canada to find, unless you result to the use of the Internet. But purchasing books online is quite costly.
To my surprise the novel mentioned Clericuzio and Corleone Families.
Pg 33: :
"The Don has been requested to mediate a great conflict between the Corleonesi cosca and the Clericuzio cosca"
Pg 36:
"The most powerful ones in Sicily at this time were the Clericuzio cosca of Palermo, which controlled the new construction in all of Sicily, and the Corleonesi cosca of Corleone, which controlled the politicians in Rome and ingineered the transportation of drugs all over the world"
Pg 120:
"Meanwhile, the Corleonesi cosca chief, Michael Grazziella, made an altogether different entry into the United States. He slipped in unobtrusively, with only two bodyguards. He was a thin and scrawny man with a faunlike head and a knife scar across his mouth. He walked with a cane, for a bullet has shattered his leg when he was a young Palermo picciotto..."
Question:
In the second Godfather installment Vito Corleone got his revenge, and therefore rose to power. Wouldn't this be the beginning of the Corleone family? Also if I am not mistaken various families with the same last name where mentioned in the Godfather. So I suppose it is not this particular family that the book speaks off. Also the readers wouldn't accept the whole drug business. But a darker side to the Corleone family does sound like a nice premiere. But is it safe to assume that the Clericuzio is indeed the same Family?
