In The Godfather Part II, Vito Andolini's mother is portrayed in a flashback scene in which she is killed by Don Ciccio's men in Corleone, Sicily. Vito, who is just a child at the time, witnesses his mother's murder, which sets him on a path of vengeance and ultimately leads to him becoming the powerful mafia don, Vito Corleone. The character of Vito's mother is only briefly shown in the film and is not given a significant role or backstory beyond her tragic death. #thegodfather #robertdeniro #alpacino #mariopuzo #francisfordcoppola
