A shepherd from the village of Corleone in Sicily, Fabrizio worked for the local Don, Lionele Tommasino, acting as a bodyguard. He was portrayed by Angelo Infanti.
[edit] Biography
When Michael Corleone escaped to Corleone in 1946, Fabrizio and his friend Calo, were assigned to protect him.
Shortly after, Michael married local girl Apollonia Vitelli, much to Fabrizio's jealousy. He was bought out by the Barzini Family from New York, and placed a bomb in Michael's car, which failed to kill him, taking Appollonia instead. Fabrizio fled into New York, sponsored by the Barzinis.
[edit] Re-emergence
In 1958, he was heard from again and informed on to Michael by the Cuneo Family, who held a truce with the Corleones following the Five Families War. Fabrizio now owned a pizzeria in Buffalo under the name 'Fred Vincent'. Michael sent men to track him down, and Fabrizio was killed by a car bomb set by Al Neri.
[edit] In the book
Fabrizio's role in the book is much the same only, in 1955 when Michael has all the Dons of the Five Families killed he sends a man to Fabrizio's pizzeria who executes him.
This ending was shot for the film, but was cut from the final release. Instead, it was re-introduced in the made-for-television The Godfather Saga taking place during the time frame of the second movie.
