Mario Puzo’s famous novel, and the movies it inspired, draw heavily from the real history of New York City’s Mafia families. Characters like Johnny Fontane are clearly based on figures like Frank Sinatra, and the powerful Vito Corleone is modeled after crime bosses such as Frank Costello and Carlo Gambino. Puzo’s 1969 book tells the story of this unforgettable fictional Mafia family, even delving into Vito Corleone’s early life.
