The main character of Mafia 2. Vito, as befits a real gangster, was born in Sicily in 1925. In search of a better life, the father moved the entire family to Empire Bay, but life did not work out. During his school years, Vito met Joe, and together they engaged in petty theft and hooliganism. At a young age, he was given a choice: go to jail or go to the front. Vito chose the army. He returned home in 1945 at the age of 20.
