Family Lore and History
PART ONE: Giovanni Castelli's Development
Giovanni Nadav Castelli was born on December 14th of 1929 in Palermo, a city in Sicily, Italy. He grew up in a rather modest apartment on a street named Corso Tukory. The street he had lived on was very lengthy in distance with many markets. Giovanni's mother was very strict and didn't want him wandering on the streets on his own. Therefore, his mother kept a very close eye on Giovanni as best she could as well as his father.
On a dark night, Giovanni, his mother, and his father were shopping at the markets when a man well known as Don Rossini has Giovanni's father shot in the head by one of his men for reasons Giovanni couldn't understand, for he was only seven years of age at this time. Giovanni and his mother quickly ran before the murderers began to chase them. After successfully out running Don Rossini's men, Giovanni and his mother ask stay with friends since they were too worried to go back to their apartment. Don Rossini never determined Giovanni and his mother's location. Giovanni's mother pays her friends to stay at their residence for years to come.

As time proceeded to move forward, Giovanni was seventeen and homeschooled by his mother as it was too much of a risk to attend school. Giovanni was getting into accounting and other business lessons. He believed getting into business would allow him to make a lot of money in the future. His mother's friend would tease Giovanni due to the fact that he wanted to grow up and live in a mansion with lots of money. This even sounded silly to his own mother who cared for him dearly and wanted Giovanni to have the life that she didn't.
Five years pass by
Giovanni is now twenty-two years of age. He became distraught as his mother suggested to move to the city of New York in America. He believed this would effect his job opportunities and prevent his dream from coming true. But his attitude quickly changed after he was told that he would be given better job opportunities, and that it would be more safe. His mother was still concerned about Don Rossini's plans for Giovanni.
Several months have gone by, and Giovanni and his mother have planned their trip, packed their luggage, and sailed away on a large ship along with many other Italian immigrants. The ship sailed directly to Ellis island where many of the other immigrants would undergo a legal and medical inspection. After going through many of the immigrant process steps, Giovanni and his mother were both marked with an X with a circle around it before being directed to the nurse area. The nurse informed Giovanni that he was healthy, but unfortunately his mother had to be separated from him due to major mental illnesses.
With the steps being completed, Giovanni was directed to a ferry that would transport him to Manhattan. He was later handed to an Italian foster mother that would take care of him until he could afford his own place to live. The current apartment he would be staying at was located on a street where many other Italian immigrants like him lived.

Giovannia's foster mother soon found a decent paying job in the city working as a receptionist for a small company. Giovanni struggled to find a favorable job at first, but eventually started working as a salesman for a known company throughout Manhattan. Giovanni decided to take a trip back to Palermo with a couple of his Italian-Americans partners. After sailing to back to Sicily and finally making it back to his original home in Palermo, Giovanni and the two other men drove to the large manor at which Don Rossini lived in. Giovanni introduced himself to Don Rossini. He didn't know who Giovanni was, for he was old and only knew Giovanni when he was seven. Giovanni explains that he had previously killed his father before stabbing him directly in the heart. The other two men with Giovanni shot down the guards before escorting Giovanni back into the car in which they came in.

Giovanni and his partners returned to New York a week later. He continued with his new job. As months pass, Giovanni's new job eventually wasn't new anymore and subsequently became dull. He had come to the realization that being a salesman wasn't the job for him. Starting a company of his own would support his dream a lot more. Giovanni wanted to give the people of Manhattan something new. An idea that would be distinct. With all of the money Giovanni had obtained from his previous job and some of the money his mother gave him, he used it all to construct an Italian bakery and cafe just down the street from their apartment.
With months of construction and planning the cafe would finally be completed. Giovanni Castelli opened the cafe on November 27th of 1954. That day marked the beginning of Giovanni's career.
Grand opening of the Italian cafe on November 27th of 1954
The idea of having an Italian bakery and cafe attracted a plentiful of Italians similar to Giovanni. Some offered Giovanni large amounts of money to attempt to buy out the cafe, but it wasn't the amount Giovanni was hoping for. To gain more costumers, he decided to include alcohol on the menu due to the fact that alcohol was announced legal once again on March 22nd of 1933.
Soon enough, the cafe had an income of $197,000 a year. After celebrating and having a great and populous party on April 21st of 1957, Giovanni was delivered the news that his mother had passed away in their apartment. Giovanni was devastated as he heard the news and immediately stormed off to his apartment where he spent the next few days weeping in sorrow.

As the thought of Giovanni's foster mother's death slowly began to disapear, an American-Italian woman by the name of Corlotta Albero began dating Giovanni Castelli, who is now thirty-three years of age. As several years pass, Giovanni marries Corlotta on October 13th of 1967. This making Giovanni now thirty-eight years of age.
In 1981 Giovanni was proud to announce that he was going to be having a baby boy in about one year. This event called for a celebration. Giovanni invited family members from Italy and close friends and colleagues to a celebration party.
Nine months later, Corlotta gives birth to a new born baby on December 24th of 1982. The timing was just right. Giovanni and his wife like to call it a Christmas miracle. After the adoption, Giovanni and Corlotta purchase a large home in the outskirts of New York City.

A devastating event occurs after one of Giovanni's close friends told him that Corlotta only married him for the money and the fame. This information caused Giovanni to lash out with anger and rage. Many thoughts spilled into his mind such as his mother's death. Giovanni quickly rushes home to find Corlotta sitting on the couch watching the television. After several minutes of shouting back and forth, Giovanni grabs a kitchen knife and quickly brings it towards her neck, slicing it open. As the lifeless body bled out on the floor, Giovanni kneels down to his wife and began weeping. He later disposes of the body and was surprisingly never caught by the police.
After losing his wife, Giovanni decides to adopt a new child. He soon files the paper work and later begins to raise both of his kids.
PART TWO: Organizing the Castelli Family
After several months, Giovanni finally decides to give both of his kids a name. He thought of the many names his mother could have named him. Giovanni remembered his mother telling him that she was going to name him Antonio or Dante, but instead named him Giovanni. After a brief moment of contemplating, he finally decides to name his first son Antonio Castelli and his second adopted son Dante Castelli.
On January 11th of 2002, Giovanni decides to shut down the cafe and bring all of his loyal workers to his house in the outskirts of Philadelphia. He realizes that he could gain a lot more power if people feared him. Giovanni then began to organize roles for his workers instead of completely firing them due to the fact that the cafe business was shutting down. He then told his most trustworthy colleague that he will be ranked as a "Consigliere" or the adviser to Giovanni. He then gave some of his other trustworthy colleagues the rank as a "Caporegime" or a captain.
Giovanni Castelli passes away on May 5th of 2006 at the age of seventy-seven. Antonio is twenty-four and inherits the role as leader or boss. This gives Antonio the title of Don Antonio Castelli. This also allows Antonio to order his Consigliere and Caporegimes to do as he says. He mostly orders his men to talk with other major families in Philadelphia, or he orders them to do his dirty work for pay. Antonio orders his current Consigliere , Domenico, to move back to Italy as he has to much blood on his hands and a dreadful record. Antonio gives the rank of Consigliere to one of his close friends, Roberto Musilli.
PART THREE: Fleeing to Japan
One of the largest crime families in New York City known as the Bertolucci family organize a dinner with Antonio Castelli. Just Antonio, the family leader, and his right hand man. A major disagreement involving money occurs, causing Antonio to pull his old Luger from inside of his pocket and aim it at the leader of the Bertolucci family known as Giacomo Bertolucci. Before being shot, Giacomo glares at Antonio for a brief moment with a fearful expression. The shot is finally taken moments after the gun was pulled. Antonio quickly walks out of the building and makes his way back to his home where he hid.

The Bertolucci family later sends a plentiful of hitmen to assassinate Antonio himself. Realizing that the Bertolucci family is one of the most powerful families in New York City, they had to escape the city and move somewhere less obvious than Italy.
After a couple weeks of searching for a better place to establish their new home they finally discover a town named Karakura in the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. The town includes cheap prices for places to live, and an exceptional climate. Antonio Castelli orders Roberto Musilli to organize a meeting. The meeting would clarify that they all would be moving to Karakura in the next couple of days.
Roberto Musilli later receives a letter delivered by Antonio Castelli:
Roberto reads the letter and follows Antonio's instructions.
Every single person written on the letter shows up at the airport the next day to check in at the airport. On at a time, they each have their bags checked and show their passports. After about forty-five minutes of waiting, they finally board the plane one by one. Scattered around the plane in different seats, they all relax and enjoy the flight to Tokyo, Japan.
Upon arrival at Tokyo, Japan they exit the airport and order a taxi to drive them to the town of Karakura. All of them walk together as a group simultaneously around the town to get used to their new environment.

Shi Family Crisis
Antonio Castelli was informed by one of his men, Salazar Cino, that there was a family that requested to meet with the Castelli family. Salazar explains to Antonio that the family leader will be waiting at the Club Vibe once it opened that day. Once Antonio got the news that Club Vibe was opening he quickly arrived at Club Vibe. Antonio was then greeted by a man dressed in formal clothing upon arrival.
Antonio followed the man to a private lounge area where he explained to Antonio that he was leading a family known as the Shi family, and that he wanted to begin a truce with the Castelli family. Antonio simply agreed to the truce before they both shook hands and enjoyed a nice meal.
Sight of the meeting between Antonio and the Shi family leader
Soon enough, the truce between the Castelli family and the Shi family was broken due to major disagreements at a dinner meeting. This resulted in the Shi family leader ordering his men to kidnap Antonio's daughter. Antonio previously instructed Roberto to keep an eye out on his daughter, but unfortunately Roberto lost her.
Antonio quickly met up with Roberto after he told Antonio that he saw Vera with members of the Shi family. Roberto could see Vera through a window on the side of the house she was taken into. Antonio finally kicked the door down with all of his power, but at that point it was too late. Vera Castelli's lifeless body was bleeding on the bathroom floor inside of the house as Salazar, Roberto, and Lorenzo fought the many Shi members. The Shi family leader and his men fled as Antonio's men suffered many injuries.
"The fact that I lost my own daughter brings more pain to me than these stab wounds"
- Antonio Castelli
Salazar quickly realized that he had bandages on him still, so he quickly applied bandages to each and everyone of their wounds. Antonio told the others to rest while he departed from his men to find the leader of the Shi family. Upon hours of searching for the Shi leader, he finally notices one of the Shi leader's men running down the sidewalk towards the 11/7. Antonio finds the Shi family members in the parking lot of the 11-7, fighting Antonio's men. Antonio immediatly rushes to the Shi family leader with a Kurikara katana, slicing his neck open from behind while he wasn't paying attention. Most of the Shi members were killed, or fled away.
Lorenzo quickly points out that Roberto's hand hand been chopped off, and was gushing a mass amounts of blood. Antonio and Salazar help carry Roberto somewhere private so no one else saw. Antonio quickly applies pressure to the nub where his hand used to be. The bleeding stopped after the nub was bandaged up. As Antonio is patching Roberto up, an unknown male helps escort Roberto to Club Vibe, where he provides the Castelli's a temporary place to stay.
A couple of months pass
Antonio and the other injured men are finally back in shape after the crisis. The family decides to arrange a small funeral for Antonio's daughter. Genarro calls Antonio and asks him to come to the Church. He soon arrives to see everyone dressed in formal clothing in respect for Vera Castelli. Many of Antonio's associates speak a few nice words before Vera Castelli's body is buried.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 4th of 2018, Robert Musilli begins to consider leaving Karakura to travel to Sicily, Italy. He realized that he was uninterested in violence and crime due to the fact that he lost one of his hands. After explaining to Antonio that he would be leaving, Antonio had an emotion breakdown, for Roberto was his Consigliere and most loyal to the family. The day after, Roberto shows up at the tunnel with his suitcases to say his final goodbyes to Antonio. Antonio once again sheds a few tears before Roberto and Antonio hug each other goodbye.
"Thank you for being there for me, Antonio. This is probably my hardest goodbye. You were like the father I never had. In bocca al lupo."
- Roberto Musilli
Three days after Roberto Musilli left Karakura, Antonio arranges a meeting with Salazar and Alessandro. He was informed that Salazar had owned the MacFromage, and Alessandro owned the Happy Pills. Antonio was delighted to hear this information as he knew it would support the Castelli family business in the future.
