Richie Gatto was a soldato in the Corleone family.

Biography[]

Serving Vito Corleone from the beginning of his days as a mafioso, he grew up in New York and married Ursula, with whom he had one son, Paulie, who attended the same school as Michael Corleone.

In 1934, Richie was part of Vito's bodyguard team and was killed in a shootout with the Irish gang. Due to his loyalty, his wife and son were always provided for, and Paulie was given assistance in entering the Corleone family as he grew up, eventually becoming Peter Clemenza's star pupil.
