Me And My Friends Are Godfather Fans And They Aleways Mention A Guy Named Fanucci In Part 1, Who Is He?

Fanucci was the guy who played in p2 in the old scenes. he was the guy young vito killed when he was fixing the bulb.

Wasnt That Ciccio?

No, Don Ciccio was the man in the wheel chair in Sicily, whom Vito stabbed in the stomach (damn near eviscerated him, actually), as revenge for Ciccio murdering his family.

Fanucci is the man in the white suit in the flashback scene in GFII. He extorts Genco's father's store, he extorts Tessio and Clemenza, and tries to extort Vito, but Vito murders him, in the "light bulb" scene.

Ok Thanks

Fanucci never appears in GF--only in II. He's a local "Black Hand": a small-time gangster, probably acting alone, who has "permission" from the real Mafia boss of the neighborhood to shake down local merchants (like Genco's father). Presumably Fanucci would kick part of his earnings upstairs to the Mafia boss.
An interesting and unrsolved issue in both the film and the novel:
No one investigated the death of Fanucci, nor did any Mafia boss send anyone back into the neighborhood to continue extorting the locals. In the novel, Vito doesn't immediately launch himself into the Mob life. Instead, after a period of time, Clemenza visits him and says "no one is collecting" from the various rackets (like gambling) in the neighborhood. So Vito steps into the breach. And nowhere in either the film or the novel does it show Vito getting anyone's permission to operate, or having to pay off a higher-up. This leads to the possibility--liklihood, even--that Fanucci was a total free-lancer, operating without any connections to the Mafia.

Your a godfather fan and you don't know who fannuci is? When did they mention him in godfather 1?

Have you ever seen godfather 2? He's the guy in the white suit in the young Vito scenes.

Ah right, So is he the guy who was gonna but theat families dog down?
and PS, i meant 2 say part 1, but accidently sed 2, Sorry about that

Luciano, how many times have you watched GFII?


Don Cardi

To Be Honest, Not That Much.

I'm usually pretty good at translating English into English, but this phrase escapes me.

If you're talking about the landlord who was planning to evict Mrs. Corleone's friend from her apartment because she had a dog, that was Signor Roberto.

If I recall correctly, Clemenza says something about him (Fanucci) getting a go-along from Maranzala, the local Don. That's an indication for how Fanucci operates.

I think Maranzallo was based on Salvatore Maranzano, one of the Bosses who ran New York, and Little Italy in particular, (along with rival Boss, Giuseppe Masseria) during the 1930's.

I dont think Fannucci was ever mentioned in One, he does feature in Puzo's novel and in Two.



Won't see him no more.

Plawrence, I find Your post Very Offensive.

Plawrence, I find Your post Very Offensive.

Why is it offensive? your post is not clear. I couldnt understand what you wrote either. So chill out.


DS

Please accept my apologies, then. It is never my intention to offend anyone.

You should realize, though, that most of the members here consider this forum to be several notches above those that are typically found on the internet and, accordingly, try to write in such a way as to make ourselves as clear and as understandable as possible.

Surely you would agree that the phrase "is he the guy who was gonna but theat families dog down?" is absolutley unintelligible.

Everybody chill out!

Luciano, I don't think that Plawrence meant what he said as an insult. In all fairness, your original post was a bit unclear. So I don't think that there is any need for being offended. And there is definitley is no room for any kind of personal arguements or insults in this thread. So let's consider this one a misunderstanding and get back to the topic at hand. Thanks.


Don Cardi

You should. It would probably clear some things up for you, and prevent pointless threads like this.

Yeah, Ok. And It Would Help if You Would Say These Replys With A Bit More Kindness Because Saying Them Like That Is Just POINTLESS Anyway

Yeah Sure Thing Plawrence, Ill Try And Make Those Posts A Bit More Clearer

Luciano, I posted above asking that this end now. But you seem to want to continue. Plawrence humblely apologized to you, so there was no reason for you to post what you did above. Your new here, so let me explain how we operate. We are a family and we respect each other here. So when a member here openly, on the boards, makes a mistake and apologizes to you, accept it and let it go. End of story.


Don Cardi

Um, let's not get carried away here, DC.

I apologized to the guy. Did you have to make it a humble apology?

Luciano -

Curiosity has the better of me. How come you chose the screenname "Fanucci" if you don't know who he is?

Yeah. The humble meter on my pc hardly moved at all.

I mean that it's pointless in that it wouldn't need to be posted had you seen Part II.

I'm also curious, what's with the username?

I live opposite A cafe called Fanucci's and my father said its an italian name.

Ah I See Why I Never See Fanucci In The Movie Anymore!
Ive Got A Pirate Copy That skips Scene's In The Movie
