Forelli Family: Difference between revisions

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], they are the main [[antagonist]] Group & 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 organization was [[Marco's Bistro]], in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|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: Liberty City Stories]], Salvatore Leone mentions [[Franco Forelli]] as the [[Boss|Don]] of the Forelli Family at the time. GTA 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. 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 [[The Whole 9 Yardies|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 [[Night of the Living Dreads|Sindaccos also try to take over Newport]] and fail later on. The Forellis lose another territory as Toni and the [[Southside Hoods]] [[Rough Justice|take over]] [[Wichita Gardens]] for the arrest of Salvatore, following the [[Dead Reckoning|death]] of [[Paulie Sindacco]]. This ends the war, the [[Yakuza]] had then started operating in by taking over territory and [[Shogun Showdown|stocking up on weapons]] (including a [[Rhino|Tank]]), starting tensions between the Forellis and the Yakuza as they [[A Date With Death|attempted to kill]] [[Toshiko Kasen]], a former Yakuza as of not knowing that she is against her husbands operation. This follows the Forellis main base of operation, Fort Staunton, being [[Bringing the House Down|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. In GTA Vice City, the Forelli's are seen wearing light blue or brown Hawaiian shirts. In GTA San Andreas, the mobsters (presumed to be the Forelli's) either dress in brown jackets, light green shirts with black pants or black jogging suits. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Forelli hitman seen in a couple of missions wear dark colored shirts with black jackets over. The Forelli family are the only gang to have appeared in every GTA III-canon game.
