#Lombardo epilogue

[honeymoon2011]

Origin of the 3 friends

Hi , I hope you're well ! Today I decided to write something about Sam , Tommy and Paulie and their origins...

I did my best to be as realistic as possible. Let's go !!!

Tommy Angelo ❤️

Tommy's parents come from Sicily, they took a boat to get to Chicago but Tommy never knew Sicily, he was probably born in the city of the wind, maybe that's why he doesn't know too much italian. I think he grew up between Little Italy and Work Quarters in a modest family, Tommy was always a good person, he was a taxi driver until he met Paulie and Sam. We don't know if tommy has brothers or sisters but I can imagine him having a sister. Tommy has been a capo since 1935 and he married Sarah and had 2 children, a girl and a boy (we see the adult boy in the epilogue) . Oh ! and I forgot, I think tommy comes from the east of Sicily.

Sam Trapani 💙

I think Sam has Sicilian origin (because Trapani is a city in the west of Sicily😉) or from northern Italy such as Tuscany for example. But like Tommy, I think he was born in Chicago, that's why he is an American citizen and his parents or grandparents have left Sicily for America. I also think that Sam is an only child and we don't know anything about his family it's sad but maybe he doesn't talk about it because they are all unfortunately deceased or he doesn't talk to his family anymore this may be why he regards the Salieri family as his own family and is extremely loyal to the Don. Sam comes from a modest family and he probably grew up in the little Italy district. Sam probably only had easy relationships because of his work and maybe because of his lack of vision as Frank would say. Sarah hints that Sam is good with the ladies, referring to him as a "lady killer" but buddy , he has just one girlfriend ! And he's been capo for a while

Paulie Lombardo 💜

I think Paulie Lombardo has origins from Lombardy in northern Italy towards Milano. He was born in Chicago and grew up in the Work Quarter neighborhood in a modest family. I think Paulie had brothers or sisters… Sam also mentions that Paulie's mother told her son that if he got married it would be useless because he likes easy girls and is not looking for serious relationships and prefers to go at the club. We know that Sam and Paulie joined the Salieri family since maybe 1927 or even more. Paulie is a hardened soldier who likes to smash everything in front of him but unfortunately he will never have the noggin to climb higher in the ranks as Frank also mentions.

Have a good day guys ! ❤️💜💙

Thank you Iamcxlleigh , Marogarreh and Flow-Of-Forces for GIF !❤️

Lombardo Decades Challenge: Epilogue (Part 3/3)

Content/Trigger Warning: Brief COVID-19 mention

In 2021, once they received their vaccines and travel restrictions loosened, the Lombardo family was able to enjoy another trip to Granite Falls, where Michael spent the summer as a teen and where he had taken his own children.

There, the family was able to enjoy home-cooked meals, and Greg took the time to teach his son Michael how to fish.

Greg had a surprise— in the past year, he had compiled a book filled with stories of the Lombardo family, from his great-grandparents, Giuseppe and Lucia’s, arrival in the United States, to the present day, covering 131 years of family history.

Everyone was delighted to hear the story of the Lombardos.

That’s the end! Thank you so much everyone for bearing with me through this challenge (especially the last 3 decades, they dragged on so long.)

If you’d like to go back and revisit, you can check out the Lombardo’s completed family timeline or their family tree.

Lombardo Decades Challenge: Epilogue (Part 1/3)

Content/Trigger Warning: COVID-19

In March of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic hit. The Lombardo family was able to shelter in place although they had to adjust to the changes.

Gabriella was a freshman at Willow Creek Community College when the pandemic began. She continued her studies remotely and is planning to be a music teacher. She is still dating Alexander Goth and talks to him on the phone regularly. She is 20 years old as of 2021.

Andrea and Cassie did remote classes for some time, too, until their school eventually reopened. Andrea has been enjoying video gaming on their new tablet. They want to go into computer engineering like their father. Cassie wants to be an artist. They are both 17 and will graduate high school in 2022.

Lombardo Decades Challenge: Epilogue (Part 2/3)

Content/Trigger Warning: COVID-19

Michael continued his I.T. job remotely. He was used to spending long hours on the computer. He was also able to pick up some programming side jobs to earn extra income for his family, especially after both his parents retired.

Michael was glad to be able to spend more time at home with his wife, Stacy. They celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in 2020. Michael and Stacy are both 44 years old as of 2021.

Stacy channeled her free time into learning how to bake. Carmen was eager to teach her daughter-in-law her favorite recipes.

Greg retired from his comedy career in early 2020. He is glad to enjoy time off with his family, but he’s also working on a big project...

Carmen also retired from her job as a caterer in early 2020. Greg and Carmen are currently 69 years old as of 2021. In 2022, they will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

So it begins….. the final year of Lombardo gameplay….

I have all my 2018 posts queued for the Lombardo legacy, but in-game I’m at the beginning of 2019, and that will be the last year of gameplay once I finish the 2010s decade.

Don’t worry, though— I am working on an epilogue that’ll tie it all together.
