What The Godfather DOES NOT Tell You... | The Olive Oil War Explained
🌹The SECRET Behind the Godfather YOU DID NOT Know… | The Real Rise of Vito Corleone
There is a secret that you need to know behind the rise of the Godfather, Don Vito Corleone....
His ascension to power was not as smooth or straightforward as you once thought. Before Vito, there was a man far more powerful.
A man who Vito himself would not dare to cross, a man that he could no longer avoid. In the Godfather we meet Vito at the height of his power, we only hear stories about his capabilities and genius. But we never really see Vito in action.
Before he would ascend the throne as the most powerful mob boss in the country, Vito had to face the biggest challenge of his life.
Almost costing him everything. This was a period of time that changed the criminal underworld forever. Shaping what would become “La Cosa Nostra”.
This, was the era known as “The Olive Oil war”
How Did It Happen?
This WILL change the way You see The Godfather FOREVER 🌹
Lets Begin...

The Olive Oil War Explained
There were a few families scattered across the city, however, the real power was held by 2 major families. The most powerful being Led by Don Guiseppe Mariposa and the close second, Rosario LaConti. Although not the most powerful of the New York dons, Vito was on his way up. Prohibition made all the families rich, but the way each one of them spent this wealth was to determine where they would stand in this new era. Where most of the other dons focused on building their army And really just enjoyed their wealth. Vito spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure the loyalty of powerful senators, judges, police officers, lawyers, journalists, bankers, you name it. He would soon have the entire city in his pocket.The Godfather explained, where we analyse Vito Corleone, Michael corleone, Fredo, Sonny Clemenza, Tessio, Luca Brasi. To the public At the time he was still just known as a successful businessman, his own family were not aware of the true nature of his business. His reputation served him well, being known as a fair and honorable man. At the same time, no one really considered him as much of a threat.But behind the scenes,Vito was slowly building a legion of loyal and capable army that he would soon deploy. As we mentioned, Don Guiseppe Mariposa was by far the most powerful of the New York dons. He had by far the most powerful family, primarily because of his extremely capable caporegimes. Which included the likes of the Barzini and Rosato brothers. Having recently taken out the second most powerful family, and his long term rival, he now felt unstoppable. And so wanted to consolidate his power once and for all.
Salvatore Tessio was one of Don Vito's most reliable capo’s yet most people don't really know the truth behind this character, and it’s actually not what you would expect.
In the films, like Clemenza, we don't know much about Tessio’s rise or even his death. They are both shrouded in mystery, especially Tessio.

He told me that he had to buy so much of his olive oil from a mob guy. Asked him why. Said it easy cheaper then replacing his big windows. Told me it was the cost for doing business. He refused to give health inspectors kick backs so they would come on busiest part of the week, Friday afternoon and write him up for a dirty can opener. Place was immaculate.

I already knew it probably came the infamous "Olive Oil wars" but now we know how brutal and reckless that attempt was. In broad daylight during a parade filled with cop's and politicians. That was a dumb move.

In the restaurant, T's GF hears the gunshots and remains silent. She used to wait for T to escort her out of the restaurant everytime that they used to visit that place however this time, Jenko reaches her alongwith another man, Peter. Pete asks Jenko if, she should be taken care of. Jenko replies, " No, she's bereaving the tragic death of her fiance, our boy" and escorts her out of the restaurant.
This was based on a unproduced screen play by Mario Puzo, which would have been The Godfather PART IV. The fourth film was meant to be both a prequel and a sequel similar to The Godfather PART II. With younger Vito Corleone and Sonny conquering the criminal underworld in the 1930s; at the same time watch Vincent Corleone in the 1980s, haunted by Mary's death and running the family business through a ten-year destructive war and eventually losing the families' respect and power, seeing one final scene with Michael Corleone before his death. In this video we cover the "Olive Oil War" which is mentioned in the original novel and a few other reliable sources.

Mariposa is clearly based on the real life Salvatore Maranzano. He is mentioned by his actual name in the novel as well. In the Olive Oil War, Vito uses his Superior Informational Intelligence to Out General Maranzano on all fronts. Then incorporating large chunks of Maranzanos empire into his own. Vito also makes the legendary Al Capone look like a "Stupid Ass" as well. Wiping out his Hit Men and showing his disdain for him in a carefully insulting letter. After Maranzano/Mariposa was eliminated, Vito became the undisputed Power Broker among all the Five Families. This back story is CRYING OUT TO BE MADE INTO A FILM. OR PERHAPS BETTER, A MINI SERIES. The Godfather saga concentrated beautifully in the present and the future of the Corleone Family. Now it's time to look at the Prequel and back story to the Corleone Dynasty. The greatest story not yet told.

In the process of enduring the series, we the viewers learn that the roots of Italian organised crime empires did not originate from the impoverished regions of Italy and Scilly, but was brought back by a pair of Roman soldiers. Tihtarse and Notso Tihtarse, who whilst posted in foreign lands trying to discover the technologies and oppress the ultra advanced Metropolis hidden deep within this mythical paradise. After being attacked by a Honey Badger the Roman soldiers were taken into Paradise to recieve triple bypass surgery's and something to do with stem cells...etc etc...BUT in return stole and perverted the teachings bringing about the fall of Paradise. 7 series to follow, stunning and brave, courageous acting, a must see, 10/10, critics write - this new adaptation makes Mario Puzo's writing's seem like naive, fumbling, comicbooks in comparison.
Wow what a great job you did. Too bad they didn't make this into a TV series. I didn't know that this series of movies and books was this well thought and written
A lot of this is derived from those excreable Mark Winegardner novels. He was given a shot by the Puzo estate, and failed miserably. Puzo always said the story he wanted to write was Santino's story. In the original novel young Sonny is described as a great commander with a genius for urban warfare. He was said to possess a ruthlessness as a killer that was his father's "only failing as a conqueror" Winegarden made him into a buffoon. Puzzo said when creating Vito's sons he simply divided the man : 1 Fredo, got his heart, 1 Michael, got his intellect and another, Santino, got his temper. Untethered by the other virtues each became their own tragic flaw. Sonny's tale within that context is the one, unfortunately we will never see.
Vito Corleone had a bit of Gambino , Genovese , Proface , and the most important was Frank Costello. That had "the politicians in his pockets , like so many nickels and dimes." 👍
I always thought that Tessio believed Michael would be crushed by Barzini - Tessio had no evidence of Michael's (deliberately concealed) strength and ruthlessness at the time of the attempted assassination - the killing of Solazzo and the cop were long past, Tessio probably viewed them as a one off event based on Michael's emotion - his love for his father. Tessio was I think clever enough to realise Barzini may double cross him, so he chose what he thought was the lesser of two evils. (sorry, this should have followed the Tessio film!)

To the extent that Barzini started under-estimating Michael Corleone.
Michael Corleone was stopped by the Don Vito Corleone himself from going out of the house on the day of Parade. In the house, the Don found that there were no fruits laid on the table, he looked for others, nobody was there except Michael. The driver was on a casual leave on that fateful day. So, the Don decided to walk by and also have a first hand look at the Parade. Unfortunately, it was a trap set by Mariposa. Everyone condemned publicly the incident, it was all in the newspapers the following day. However, nobody could imagine who had conspired it.
I thought this story couldn't get any more amazing but it did.

Thank you so much for putting it this amazing A++ stuff, wow so much research on this and was like watching an unwatched and new part of the Godfather background! This should be a movie as a prequel to all the other GF epics, this fills in a lot of blanks and brings the cohesiveness needed to understand why certain things happened that way. Now it all makes sense when Tessio begs Tom Hagen for the sake of old times. Feel bad that he made a mistake later in his life.
The family corleone is my second favorite book. You can never top the godfather, but the prequel novel comes close to being as good. The godfather returns and revenge were okay.
True Power..... Very Raw
Loving your videos, real shame that the haven’t made a movie based on the book Family Corleone, would love a movie on the rise of Vito as we only get a glimpse of it in Part 2 & a bigger glimpse in the TV version of the movies, but would be amazing to have one about the Olive Oil war & to rise of the Corleone empire

The olive war is basically the The Castellammarese War....if u pay attention the godfather movies imitates the real mob....but I would like to know more about the olive war....
As an olive oil 🫒 importer this is a reflection of my daily life. The killings. The olive oil. The mistresses. The blood. The payoffs. The corrupt politicians. It’s all about the olives. They drive people mad. I lather my body in the olive oil. It’s nice. No one can take that away from me. And I’m not even Italian. Recently I’ve diversified into pasta and found it just as violent. I’m thinking of moving into Italian cheese. 🧀 like Mascarpone and class A drugs.

I always wished "The Family Corleone" was made into a movie.
Great show and thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍👍
This was awesome!
The limited prequel series we deserve
i bet you never heard of the Sicilian pizza shop wars of the late 70's and very early 80's , because it's not fiction it's a true real life nyc incident a piece of gomba history

Thank you so much for the video. it takes time to do these in so much detail so thank you much. 1 request in the future could you cover the pacification of New York. 1935 to 1938? Lots of interesting stuff there including the true rise of Sonny Corleone. If not i understand. Thanks for the amazing video.
