Signor Abbandando was the father of Genco Abbandando and owner of Abbandando Grosseria in Hell's Kitchen.

BiographyEdit

As well as Genco, Signor Abbandando also had another son, who moved away from his father in the mid 1920s. He took in Vito Corleone from Sicily in the early 1900s, and the young boy repaid his gratitude by working in the shop, earning a good living, and later, the means to support his wife Carmela and young son, Santino.

The Black HandEdit

However, in 1917, Abbandando was forced by Don Fanucci to fire Vito and replace him with Fanucci's nephew Sandiago. Abbandando reluctantly agreed, offering to send a large box of groceries to Vito, but the young man refused.

After Vito killed Fanucci in 1920, he repaid Abbandando's good will by making Genco his consigliere, and named Genco Pura Olive Oil Company afer him.
