Angelo Morello

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."

Who, or what, are your weaknesses?

Children.

Frankie sighed, letting Angelo finish out his words before anything was said. Perhaps he had misspoken then, but he surely hadnt anticipated such a response. 

“There a few Irish worse off thanks to me and some hired hands. Just because I am not committing mass murders int he streets doesnt mean I am not loyal. I have been busy working on forming alliances, Angelo. As for my children- they have their own ideals in mind. Something I have yet to discuss with them deeply.”

He paused, giving a shake of his head.

“Neither if that’s the case. A rogue among wolves it appears.”

[angelo-morello]

“I think you’re misunderstanding,” Angelo reiterated as kindly as possible considering the point. 

“You’re not a Mancini Loyalist, Frankie. You’re not with Alessia, I would know if you were. You have no loyalty to us, and making a formal one doesn’t change your goals, nor does it change mine. No doubt you want the Irish. That’s entirely disregarding Alessia’s completely obvious interests.”

A rogue among wolves; if ever there was proof in a line. 

“We’re different animals.” Angelo rode off the metaphor, “Maybe the same genus, but you’re referring to wolves, coyotes, and jackals, not just the one.” They’d kill each other regardless.

Perhaps that made a little more sense; the idea that Frankie grew up in a revolving culture was heartening, Italian men like themselves had much to be proud of, but they had different families, held domain on different regions. Where was this ‘loyalty’ based that the Valastro spoke of; certainly not with him, that was an issue. Largely a minor one, though.

Why did Valastro have any expectations on this?

“Did you speak with the French or the Russians?”

“Everyone as a whole, Angelo.”

[angelo-morello]

“Everyone...as a whole?” the mafioso looked into Valastro’s eyes, wondering if there was a joke well hidden there, or if it was sheer stupidity that gazed back.

After a moment Angelo leaned back, contemplating how to best verbalize the things on his mind, the very obvious things. “Tell me,” he started with eyebrows drawn together, “if we’re going pretend a moment that what you said is possible. That we are, could be, a whole. When am I going to see a Frenchman laying in a tomato patch with a dumb cigarette in his mouth because of you? How about a Russian? Have you started going to my church? How about your kids?”

Angelo waved a hand in the air, barely lifting an arm, “I hear you, you mean well,” there was a slight shrug, “but that doesn’t exist. This mass Italian dream, it’s not real.” 

“So,” the Italian said laterally, “you really have to say a name. Auditore, or Mancini.” There was, simply so, no Italian Mob. “Nor do we speak for the other.”

Is Angelo excited about being a grandfather?

Yes, and no. Mostly yes. I think he’s happy to know his daughter is growing up, and that she’s doing it well; that she could do what he hadn’t.

[angelo-morello]

Assuming Francesca is dead, if he was given the choice to bring one of them back, would Angelo choose Fran or Norah?

Francesca. Salvatore deserves love, a whole family; his children deserve a mother. They are Italian, nothing is more important than family.

[angelo-morello]

"You both want to act like the boys? You both want to continue this conversation in public? Do you think I am tolerant of this attitude when it comes from anyone? Look at me. LOOK AT ME. Do you think I am the type of person who cares about who starts fights? I end them. Do you think I am the type of person who cares about volume? I am the loudest." SHIT!

OOC: Lmfao, this is late, but bless you!

If you could go back in time, would you stop Ronnie from finding out that you were her father?

No.

With Sal being arrested how will the hierarchy of the Mancini change? Who will be the head of the family?

Vinicio Vazzana, Jr. is being groomed to lead the Mancini Mafia. Until the time comes in which he is prepared, Angelo has stepped in as Head.  Friendly reminder that females in the Mancini Family will never take that position; namely Gracie or Gia.

[angelo-morello]

Zio Angelo,

I firstly wanted to say that I missed you while in Italy.  I hope you were well and got some time to relax at some point.  It was weird not being around Launceston for so long, but I somehow managed.  With all my free time I collected a bunch of stuff and the things that reminded me of you, I’m gifting you with them.  

Secondly, all I ever want for you is to be happy and I hope that you are.  And if you aren’t, then I pray you find it.  Because you deserve happiness in whatever form that comes in.

So now, gifts!

Here is a painting I did while in Florence.  While I probably could’ve just gotten you an actual plant, I thought about all the watering it would take to try to keep it alive and most flowers die so fast anyway…here are some flowers that will never die.

Now, I find some of the coolest things in the most random corners in Milan.  Not too far from Piazza del Duomo, I found this very quiet, very small and weird store that had stuff that I’m sure you, Gio–all of you would’ve loved.  But the pure gold card set caught my eye the most so I got it.  

Thank you Zio, for always being there and being the rock that our family needs right now.  I know the last few months weren’t easy, and who knows if it’ll get easier.  But all I know for sure, is that we’ll all have each other.  

Ti voglio bene.  Ti ammiro.  Sei importante per me. Gracie xoxo

“Please tell me there is some form of news on something, anything, that we are up to these days.”

[angelo-morello]

“We?”

virginiaxbluth :

An important cause like this I would assume they did. No one should ever have to suffer at the hands of the Russians again. The LCPD taking out the brothel will be good for everyone involved - mostly.

You’re absolutely right. Considering the LCPD has been under some serious scrutiny recently, this is exactly the type of media they needed. If only one prostitution ring was enough; those poor girls. They never seem to refute it, the Russians, do they? Children also like to cover their ears.

veronika--auditore :

If it’s any consolation, I’m really happy that you’re here tonight.

Where else would I be? You look wonderful, principessa, though the dress is a bit much. How are you doing? Marcello?

[alessia--auditore]

Now this is what I call a productive evening, Launceston. It just goes to prove that even we can do good when it’s needed. God bless these acts of charity.

[angelo-morello]

Such a shameful crime, tonight was a good night, indeed. I’ll give it St. Clair’s wife, her speech was impressively pointed. Pity Nicolas wasn’t here to see it.

You probably shouldn’t be drinking that, Alessia.

[angelo-morello]

That was an entirely subtle speech, but a worthy one; I hope everyone dedicated a decent portion of funds to the cause.
