It's true. Genovese is lossely based on Emilio Barzini. Barzini wanted to kill Corleone to become the top boss, Barzini ordered the death of Santino and particapted with Sollozzo to kill Corleone.
I wasn´t doubting that. But Genovese was a living person, while Barzini was/is not. So it should be "Barzini was based on Genovese". Right? Or is my english that bad?
Haha Sorry... Your right, Barzini based on Genovese. Well done
