It was after Sonny's death that his importance was truly felt, both in the eyes of viewers and in the Corleone Crime Family. In what would be one of the saddest scenes in The Godfather , a tough Vito Corleone would cry for the first time in his life after learning about Sonny's execution.
No one was more loyal to the Corleone Crime Family than the first capo, Clemenza. Among his most iconic scenes was when he had the traitor Paulie executed and when he trained Michael on how to whack Sollozzo and McCluskey.
Clemenza was likable because he carried with him all the old school mob tropes. He wore fedora hats, long coats, and oversized pants. He was also quite humorous. Clemenza's best quotes were also some of the best in the trilogy in general. He was brave too, demonstrated by how excited he was about the pending war with the rival New York families.
Michael's feats have never been replicated either in other fictional tales or in real life. Taking down the bosses of five rival families all at once is something that future generations would still be in awe about. Most importantly, later in his life, he turned the family into a legitimate enterprise. Michael would have been the best if only he didn't have a father that was too perfect. He had plenty of flaws, such as being a poor lover and husband and being blinded by religion to the point he was manipulated by Archbishop Gilday, but as a mob boss, he was the gold standard by which future organized crime leaders would be measured.
Thanks to his forays into the olive oil and alcohol smuggling businesses during the Prohibition Era, Vito turned the Corleone Crime Family from just a street gang to one of the biggest organized crime factions in America. Vito sits at the top of the list because he was very different from the stereotypical mafia Don. He was soft-spoken and composed at all times and there were never any bursts of anger, as seen with many other movie crime bosses.
He was generous and devoted to his family and loved ones, and the fact that he rose from nothing a poor immigrant to something a wealthy Don is also something worthy of endless applause.

Stubborn dude! An animal lover, Philip also has a pet giraffe called Refu. By Philip Etemesi Published Aug 15, Street boss Joey Zasa. Enforcer Big Mike. Enforcer Vincent Mancini. Associate Lou Pennino. Consigliere Michael Corleone. The street boss was a title created by Michael Corleone to insulate himself from criminal activities. The street boss controlled the NYC activities as a real boss, but under the orders of Michael.
Peter Clemenza 's regime , in subsequent years, seemed to pursue criminal ventures that they wouldn't have approached when the old guard was still there.
The Rosato Brothers , soldiers in Clemenza's crew who eventually formed a rogue faction, were heavily involved in narcotics and prostitution, hardly getting involved with their gambling rackets.
They also had extensive dealings with black and Hispanic criminals, presumably employing them for their narcotics operations, and garnered reputations for acts of violence in Italian neighbourhoods. Joey Zasa , who took over Clemenza's old crew at some point, also brought black and Hispanic criminals into his organisation and turned a blind eye to their dealing narcotics in his territory.
All of the major Corleone characters also appear in the game and play significant roles, although the main focus is the player's character. There are differences from the film, most noticeably that it is Trapani, rather than Rocco Lampone, who murders Paulie Gatto.
Trapani also plays a role in events that only occurred off-screen in the film, such as helping Rocco Lampone kill Khartoum and plant his head in Jack Woltz's bed, and planting the gun Michael is to use to murder Virgil Sollozzo and Captain Mark McCluskey at Louis Restaurant. At the start of the game, the Corleones—once the most powerful family, a distinction now held by the Barzinis—are weak.
The Corleone Family is the only family to lack a territory from the beginning. As the game progresses, however, Trapani will take more and more territories and establish the Corleones as the most powerful family once again. At the start, the Corleones can only rival the Tattaglias in terms of combat and can barely defend themselves against other families. At first, a Corleone Capo can hold out against a Tattaglia Underboss in fisticuffs for a while before got overwhelmed, but they cannot last long against Stracci Capo and are even outmatched by Cuneo and Barzini Soldiers.
The uniqueness of the Corleone Family, however, is they are the only family with a chance to grow. At the near end of the game once the player reaches Underboss or Don , the tide will turn: Corleone Soldiers become strong enough to hold out against Tattaglia Underbosses and the Underbosses will be incredibly strong, defeating Barzini Underbosses with little difficulty.
The Corleone family's crest is a white lion standing on one of its hind legs, with the rest of its limbs and its tail raised "rampant", in heraldic terms , on a black field; this is similar to the coat-of-arms of the real Sicilian town of Corleone, which bears a golden lion rampant holding a heart on a red field.
In the first game and its expansion, the Corleone main color is black, but in the second game it is red, along with the Trapani crime family. It is named after Corleone family.
