The Godfather Part III

By the time of The Godfather Part III (the late 1970s) Michael has taken great steps to making the family legitimate; he is preparing to hand over his interests in gambling to the other Mafia families, setting up a charitable foundation, and is even being recognized by the Vatican for his good works. This new connection to the Church gives Michael the opportunity to purchase a controlling stake in the large property conglomerate, Immobiliare. He also begins to rekindle his relationship with Kay, as well as taking Sonny's illegitimate son, Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia), under his wing. He finds himself pulled back into the underworld, however, when almost the entire Mafia Commission is wiped out by an assassin as Michael prepares to hand over his criminal interests. Vinnie responds to this new threat against the Family with brutal violence, publicly gunning down Michael's rival, Joey Zasa (Joe Mantegna), who was thought to have ordered the hit on Michael. Vinnie also begins a relationship with Michael's daughter, Mary (Sofia Coppola), a romance Michael strongly disapproves of.

Vinnie Mancini-Corleone at AllExperts (679 words)
Vincent was the illegitimate son of Sonny Corleone and Lucy Mancini, born in 1948 (this plotline seems exclusive to the movie, as it directly contradicts book's assurances that Lucy Mancini had not gotten pregnant by Sonny).
He endeared himself to his uncle, Michael Corleone, in 1979 by trying to protect him from rival Mafia families, and the aging Don took the hot-headed, irrational, violent young man under his wing to try to redeem him, as a way to redeem his own bloody past.
The character of Vincent Corleone was said by Coppola to, roughly speaking, amalgamate the males of the Corleone Family.
