About Me

"Salvatore 'Sal' Tessio is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and the film based on it. In the film, Tessio was portrayed by Abe Vigoda, and as a younger man in the sequel by John Aprea."
I began with my friends Peter Clemenza and Vito Corleone as a low-level hoodlum in New York City's Little Italy. As Corleone rose to prominence in the Mafia underworld, Clemenza and I rose with him, each eventually settling into the caporegime roles. I owned the Embassy Club in Brooklyn and made it my base of operations. From there, I managed my Mafia soldiers and was very well-connected throughout the borough. Most federal investigators considered me the smarter and savvier of the two capos.
My regime inclded soldiers Nick Geraci, Cosimo Barone, Eddie Paradise, and Tommy Neri. Although I was initially the more trusted of the two capos during the war with the Five Families, and was issued the task of assassinating Bruno Tattaglia, I in turn never completely trusted Vito's son Michael, and so began plotting against him after Michael took over the family following his father's death. Ultimately, I arranged for Michael's assassination at a peace summit set up by his enemies.
