Forelli Family: Difference between revisions

The '''Forelli Family''' is an Italian-American [[Mafia]] family based in [[Liberty City]].

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] [[Giorgio Forelli]] attempts to kill [[Phil Collins]] due to [[Barry Mickelthwaite]] owing [[Giorgio Forelli]] money.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] they had planned to expand their empire "down south", by opening relations with local drug cartels through [[Tommy Vercetti]]. However, this never happened due to [[Sonny Forelli|Sonny Forelli's]] death and Tommy's defection. The main base of operations for this once powerful organisation was [[Marco's Bistro]], in [[Liberty City]], before Sonny's death. The Forelli Family used to be the most powerful family in Liberty City, but the deaths of many high-ranking members (such as Sonny) have led to their subsequent downfall over time.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], it was agreed that the Forelli Family would own an equal share of [[Caligula's Palace]], along with the [[Sindacco Family|Sindacco]] and [[Leone Family|Leone]] families. However the Forellis become a problem for [[Ken Rosenberg]] as they attempted to take over the Sindaccos stake in the casino by attempting to take out [[Johnny Sindacco]], kidnapping him from the hospital in an [[Ambulance|ambulance]]. Ken sends [[Carl Johnson]] to retrieve Johnny before he is taken out. The Forellis stake comes to an end and Forelli hitmen were sent to murder [[Salvatore Leone]], but failed as CJ had taken out the hitmen before they reached the casino. Salvatore exacts revenge on the Forellis by him finding out that CJ is useful and sends him to the Marco's Bistro in Liberty City to kill an unnamed member of the Forelli Family, to end their operations in [[Las Venturas]]. They can be seen walking around the Caligula's Casino.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], Salvatore Leone mentions [[Franco Forelli]] as the Don of the Forelli Family at the time, likely taking control of the reigns after Sonny Forelli's death in 1986. Liberty City Stories also reveals a [[Little Italy]] district in Liberty City called [[Fort Staunton]] that served as the main base of the Forellis' operations after Sonny's death. The Forellis first deal with the [[A Walk in the Park|death]] of Mayor [[Roger C. Hole]] who was working for Franco and then had found another representative [[Miles O'Donovan]] to fight against [[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Donald Love]] by [[Friggin' the Riggin'|burning]] and [[Counterfeit Count|stealing]] fake votes (which O'Donovan wins as the voters found out that Love was unfit for office because he was working with Toni). Later on the Sindacco Family becomes a big problem for the Forellis as a gang war was sparked in Forelli and Sindacco territory, caused by [[Sicilian Mafia]], Toni is caught up in it as Salvatore Leone had taken advantage of the war by causing them to lose territory to continue the war to foil [[Massimo Torini|Massimo Torini's]] plan to take over. The [[Uptown Yardies]], a Jamaican gang, are moving to take over the district [[Newport]], which is Forelli territory, with the help of [[Leon McAffrey]] and Toni they were successful in taking the district over on which the Sindaccos also try to take over Newport and fail later on. The Forellis lose another territory as Toni and the [[Southside Hoods]] take over [[Wichita Gardens]] for the arrest of Salvatore, following the death of [[Paulie Sindacco]] ending the war the [[Yakuza]] had started operating in by taking over territory and stoking up on weapons (including a [[Rhino|Tank]]) starting tensions with Yakuza as they attempted to kill [[Toshiko Kasen]] a former Yakuza as of not knowing that she is against her husbands operation, following the Forellis main base of operation Fort Staunton was destroyed by underground explosives in the old subway line possibly killing Franco Forelli and weakening the Forellis completely.

In GTA Liberty City Stories, Forelli henchmen don blue/dark red shirts with light blue/white jackets over and carry pistols. In GTA III, they dressed like the Leones as seen in one of Joey Leone's missions, although this is because they were in disguise.
