Page "The Godfather Part III" Paragraph 8

The family takes a vacation to Sicily in preparation for Anthony's operatic debut in Palermo.

They stay at the villa of Corleone family friend Don Tommasino ( Vittorio Duse ).

Michael tells Vincent to speak with Altobello and tell him that he is planning to leave the Corleone family.

Altobello supports the idea of Vincent's switching his allegiance, and introduces him to Don Licio Lucchesi ( Enzo Robutti ), a powerful Italian political figure and Immobiliare's chairman.

Michael realizes that the Immobiliare deal is an elaborate conspiracy among Lucchesi, Archbishop Gilday, and Vatican accountant Frederick Keinszig ( Helmut Berger ) to swindle him out of his money, and visits Cardinal Lamberto ( Raf Vallone ), the man favored to become the next Pope, to speak about the deal.

Lamberto convinces Michael to make his first confession in 30 years, in which he tearfully admits to ordering Fredo's murder.

Lamberto tells Michael that he deserves to suffer for his sins, but that his life could still be redeemed.
