Bobby No Sex

this epic movie has to have a source like a real mafia that told his story for this movie to be made. who was he?

Puzo took the idea from a few real life mafia bosses but the main one he used was Carlo Gambino

My father always insisted it was based on Raymond L.S. Patriarca.

I'm guessing the REAL Corleone family in Sicily?

No bro.

I love the movies so much, that i actually took the time to find out were they got their story from.

Most of the characters are based on real life gangsters, except for the Corleone family. Vito COrleone and Michael for example are totally fictional, Moe Green for example, is based on the jewish gangster who made Las Vegas what it is, i dont remember his name. Joe Zasa from Godfather III is based loosely on John Gotti.
