What do you think happened with the Rosato Brothers? Do you think Michael would've had them killed, or made peace with them? Just knowing Michael, it's completely unfathomable to me that he would have let them live. But I guess that's just my opinion, as there's no way of knowing .

I'm with JC on this one. Although it could be argued that Roth was the prime mover in the Rosatos' attack on Pentangeli, they were still part of the conspiracy. Had they succeeded in killing Pentangeli, and Roth against Michael, the Rosatos would have taken over the olive oil business that belonged to Michael and that was being run by Pentangeli for him. That's more than reason enough. But, we don't know what happened to the olive oil business after Pentangeli's arrest and the Rosatos' flight. I can't believe Michael simply walked away from it right then. Probably he appointed someone in Pentangeli's stead, and then gradually worked his way out of it. Zasa was in charge of it in 1979, but that was 21 years after the Frankie/Rosatos meeting.

Zasa was in charge of it in 1979, but that was 21 years after the Frankie/Rosatos meeting. Exactly. Zasa would have been little more than a kid working his way up at that time. The Altobello character was never properly fleshed out, but we can safely assume that he had some say in the post-Pentangeli era.

I thought Altobello was the don of one of the other 5 families. he just happened to be a close friend of the corleones

That's what I believe also. He headed then or prior one of the NY families, but not the Corleones. Which family do you think would that be then? I personally think Altobello succeeded Pentangeli. He was way too close to the Corleones to be a rival mobster of another family. I think he was referred to as Don by Michael simply because he was the Corleones oldest friend and Connie's godfather.

I found it on wikipedia and a few other godfather sites. One thing is for sure he was never a Corleone since joey zasa ghad control for at least a few years

That Zasa had control doesn't mean that Altobello couldn't be a Corleone. If you paid much attention when you viewing Part III you would have noticed that Zasa was nothing more than a pawn used by Lucchesi and Altobello.

Ya Sonny i did pay attention. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. We all know Zasa was used by Altobello and Lucchesis since Zasa was ad Mike put it "a small time enforcer who had braun and no brains." Mike put him in charge because he didn't care about the criminal lifestyle anymore. altobello had his own family i mean thst pretty clear. You do know you can be allies with someone even if you have different families. Thank you for you're insights. But you forget to answer the question though. And could you elaborate on "altobello had his own family i mean thst pretty clear"? Let's say Altobello was a Tattaglia member. What do you think his role would've been during the Five Families War? He would've been in a pretty though position; being a close ally to the Corleones on the one hand and a member of the Corleones arch enemies on the other.

Well man I'm not the only one who says Altobello was apart of another family so I dont know what to tell you lol

The only relationship between he and the Corelones that we can be sure of is that he was the Corleones oldest friend. Profaci was a friend to the Bonannos. So, there is precedent for such a relationship families. Yes, but the relationship between the Bonannos and the Profacis wasn't exactly the kind of relationship between the Corleones and let's say the Tattaglias or Barzinis. Anyway, in part III there's already a Don Cuneo so what's left are the Straccis. I find it suprising that there is at least one thing you agree on with Winegardner. If I was Tattaglia or Barzini, I would never, ever trust one of my capos who was the godfather of one the children of my biggest enemies. I would have ordered him whacked as a precaution. Or I would have ordered him to prove his loyalty with personally carrying out the hit on Sonny. "Difficult, not impossible"

DON ALTOBELLO: "As your family’s oldest friend, I’m always chosen to bring you messages.
Your old partners, are grateful for the money you’ve made them, they, they worship you. But their hearts are broken, because, they think you abandoned them. They want to share your deal on Immobiliare. To be a family again. It can purify their money.
I, I ask nothing for myself. Only peace in my old age. But I – I must please the world around me. Michael, your father was a reasonable man, learn from him."
Altobello sounds like a man who was in on Mafia counsels at the highest levels.
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
