In 1945 Fausto Cuneo, Jr. and Joe the Elegance is forced to pay money to the Corleones.The Elegante was a hotel in Hell's Kitchen run by Joe the Elegance and fronted by Fausto Cuneo, Jr. It also contained the office of Don Carmine Cuneo. It was patrolled by ten armed guards and was strategically located near several other well defended businesses, enabling re-inforcements to arrive within seconds if necessary. As well as being the Cuneo Godfather's office, the Elegante was the favourite haunt of the Hell's Kitchen Chief of police, who often travelled there to meet with Don Cuneo.
The hotel changed hands in 1945, when the Corleone family moved in on Hell's Kitchen.

Smooth-talking, natty-dressing gambling man Joe the Elegance is the sharpest twig on the Cuneo gambling tree. Joe will bluff you out of a fortune and you'll still leave smiling. Elsewhere in the place, Fausto is a distant Cuneo cousin who should be running the racket, but he prefers the more genteel life of meeting and greeting at this hotel.
