Paul Castellano : Mafia Godfather

The American Mafia is a criminal society that is highly organized. It can be otherwise known as the American-Italian Mafia, since so many of its members come from Italian immigrants, or American-Italian people. Most people, however, simply refer to it as the Mob for short. When one thinks of the 'Mob', they think of the forgiving Godfather, granting one wish on this, the day of his daughter's wedding.
In 1985, the assassination of one American Mafia crime boss sparked years-long conflict between many of the crime families that dwell in New York. Paul Castellano, also known by his full name as Constantino Paul Castellano, is the namesake from which every "Big Paulie" character has been derived from.
