GODFATHER juniors XL tee Vito Corleone film T shirt Genco Olive Oil importing
This is a previously-owned, women’s-extra-large (XL), dark-brown T-shirt with "Genco Co. Importing Company / Olive Oil / Corleone, Sicily” printed on the front in a distressed graphic. It measures approximately 17½ inches (from underarm seam to underarm seam), about 25 inches from back collar to bottom, and is in great condition (Tultex brand, 100% cotton).
In the “Godfather” film franchise, the Genco Pura Olive Oil Company is a front company formed by Vito Corleone in the 1920s. It was named after his childhood friend and consigliere, Genco Abbandando. Its headquarters were on Mott Street, Little Italy, in New York City. The company eventually grew to become the largest olive-oil importer in the United States. Vito Corleone and members of the Corleone family would hold meetings in the Genco Pura offices, including the meeting where Don Corleone rejected Virgil Sollozzo's offer to go into business with him.
