The Barzini compound (often referred to as The Palace or The Fortress) was built after Emilio Barzini, Sr. visited Jack Woltz's mansion in Los Angeles. As well as appearing attractive, it was also considered virtually impregnable.
However, the compound was breached by Aldo Trapani in 1955, when the Barzini family had been crippled by the loss of most of their family members.
Behind the scenes[]
The compound in original version The Godfather the game
In the original version of The Godfather: The Game, all the compounds resembled each other, and a bomb had to be placed in the basement to take them over. In the update, the second building could be conquered by blowing up Don Barzini's bedroom on the first floor. The second building is also the same as Woltz Mansion.
Reinforcements will come in cars to defend the buildings in the upgraded versions.
