Corleone is a village in central Sicily not far from Palermo. It has 12,000 inhabitants. Several Mafia bosses have come from Corleone. It is also the birthplace of several fictional characters in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather, including the eponymous Vito (Andolini) Corleone. The local mafia clan, the Corleonesi, led the Mafia in the 1980s and 1990s, and were the most violent and ruthless group ever to take control of the organization. Now the tourists come searching for them in the coffee shops. However Atticus sensed the Mafia nearby in Pietrperzia.
