The Corleone family is a fictional Sicilian Mafia family settled in New York City. The family was created by Mario Puzo and appears in his 1969 novel The Godfather, as well as the acclaimed film trilogy of the same name directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The family was founded by Vito Corleone (born Vito Andolini), who was from Corleone, Sicily, in Italy. When the men who murdered his father came looking to kill Vito, his mother shipped him to America to protect him. There he changed his name to Corleone to conceal his identity while preserving ties to his native village.
