Maria Scaletta is a character in Mafia II. She is the widow of Antonio Scaletta and mother of Vito and Francesca Scaletta.
History[]
Background[]
Maria married Antonio Scaletta in the small Sicilian village of San Martino, in 1920. Soon after, in 1921 their daughter Francesca was born, followed by their son Vito in 1925. The family moved to America sometime in 1932 for a better life, but instead Maria and her family were met with poverty and many hardships. She watched as her family started to fall down in front of her, with her husband drinking heavily, and then dying from drowning. She now lives with only her daughter and slowly waits for something good to come of her family. Her daughter continues to live with her and support both herself and her mother by taking a job at the Trago Oil Co.. Maria is a devoted Roman Catholic woman.
Death[]
In June 1945, Francesca visits Vito in prison and tells him their mother is sick. Vito instructs Francesca to retrieve his money from Joe and get the best doctor available. Unfortunately their mother died during their visit. A few days later Vito receives a letter informing him of his mother's death. All of Vito's money went to pay for her funeral, leaving nothing for Francesca.
