you are right!!!!


in 1901, Vito Andolini fled to America after his father died. He was then nine years old.

...arriving in America, obviously, it's summer. one can asume Vito arived in NY in the summer of 1901 at the age of 9.


at the end of the same movie, we learn that Vito's birthday is in December, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked.

in other words, Vito was yet to have his birthday in 1901, being his tenth, which makes him born in 1891!!!!


there are some questions about this.

for one thing, Vito's tombstone in the first movie says he was born in 1889. Another thing to be bothered with: Vito Andolini came to America with no ID, nothing except a name and he didn't even keep it, because he changed it into Corleone. Who knows what else he might have changed (like, his birthday? I doubt he had a proper birth certificate along with him).

but anyway, I strongly believe Vito was born in 1891.


Don Vanchenzo, what's the next question?
