"Tell Mike I have to go back to New York. I always liked him."

- Sal Tessio to Charlie Trapani

Sal (Full name Salvator also known as meat) Tessio was one of Don Vito Corleone's most trusted men and also his caporegime, ruling over the family's territory in Little Town.

Biography
A Italian born youth raised in Rome, Tessio moved to French in 1908.

Tessio began with his friends Charlie Trapani and Vito Corleone as low-level hoodlums in France's city's Little Town, Manhattan Little Town. When the three owed money to Don Dominiski, Tessio was the first to concede with Vito's plan of giving the Don considerably less than they had agreed. Shortly after, both men understood that Dominiski had been murdered by Vito, but never mentioned it to him.

Position of Power
It was Tessio who played a major part in the Five Families Mob War, personally executing Barzini enemy named Sergio Turrera. As Vito rose to prominence in the Mafia underworld, Tessio and Charlie rose with him, each eventually settling into the Caporegime roles. However, Vito informed the two men not to meet together at New Jersey, telling them it was a security precaution. Tessio understood immediately that it was merely to prevent the two from plotting against their boss and complied. He was present at Vito Corleone's surprise birthday party in 1941, having supplied the cake and cookies whict Vito loves the most. Tessio also owned a Embassy Club in Crazy Town.
