I keep going back three things that have been knawing at me of Q’s crumbs 1) who ate the 4 ruling families, leaving 3 left and 2) who did Soros replace (Y)) & finally Godfather III. There is something missing and a family nobody has looked into, unless i’ve missed it and then i apologize.
Outside of the pope and the Vatican bank, which is what everybody focuses on, there is another underlying plot, which is the main point turning point, and involves 3 NEW characters, never mentioned in the first two films, vincent, joe zasa, and Don Altobello.
Vincent arrives at the reception. He is embroiled in a feud with Joey Zasa. When Connie arranges for Vincent to meet Zasa, who calls Vincent a bastard, Vincent bites Zasa's ear. Michael is both troubled by Vincent's fiery temper and impressed by his loyalty. He agrees to include him as his lieutenant in the business.
Knowing that Archbishop Gilday, head of the Vatican Bank, has accumulated a massive deficit, Michael offers the Bank $600 million in exchange for shares in Internazionale Immobiliare, an international real estate company, which would make him its largest single shareholder with six seats on the company's 13-member board. He makes a tender offer to buy the Vatican's 25% share in the company, which will give him controlling interest. Immobiliare's board quickly approve the offer, pending ratification by the Pope.
Don Altobello, an elderly New York Mafia boss and Connie's godfather tells Michael that his partners on the Commission want in on the Immobiliare deal. Michael wants the deal untainted by Mafia involvement and pays off the mob bosses from the sale of his Las Vegas holdings. Zasa receives nothing and, declaring Michael his enemy, storms out. Altobello follows Zasa, saying he will reason with him. Minutes later, a helicopter hovers outside the conference room and opens fire.
