Returning Characters

Optional Hidden Interactions

There are optional interactions you can find throughout the game's story that are not required for progression but offers extra flavor for the player. This includes some interactions with Isabella, Cesare, and other NPCs.

If you're interested in finding these, take your time and approach characters throughout the story to see if they have anything to say about the current situation.

Title Screen Depicts Memento Mori

Title Screen

The title screen shows a common depiction of memento mori, an artistic symbol that acts to remind the viewer the inevitability of death.

You can see scattered objects on the title screen that represent different aspects of one's life and a skull to show the mortality and fleeting nature of it. This fits in well with the theme of the game as well as the life of a mafioso.

Title Screen Changes at the End

Title Screen Change

When you complete the game and finish Chapter 14, the title screen changes reflecting how the story ends.

Ending Explained

Journal Entries and Newspapers

The notes, newspapers, and other journal entries you find scattered throughout the game are not just collectibles but sometimes are references to previous Mafia games or world events (inside the game).

Arrest Record of Don Salieri from Mafia 1

Don Salieri Arrest Record

For example, one of the arrest records you find in the Guardia HQ during Chapter 6 shows Ennio Salieri, or Don Salieri, the main antagonist for the original Mafia game.

Newspaper Clippings of World Events

Newspaper of New Pope

Newspapers show events and developments happening around the game's world such as the announcement of a New Pope, the Russo-Japanese War, new inventions, revolutions, and natural disasters among other things. These interesting tidbits really capture the game's setting and time period.

Chapter 4: Il Barone Guide and Walkthrough

La Forza del Destino Opera

La Forza del Destino Script

The name of Chapter 12 is based on an opera of the same name called La Forza del Destino. You can find the opera's script lying around during the chapter and the opera programme showing that La Forza del Destino is the opera performed during the course of the chapter.

The opera contains a scene where a father disowns his daughter for her involvement with a man, akin to the forbidden love between Enzo and Isabella under Don Torrisi's nose.

Real World Opera Counterpart

Opera Programme

In the real world, La Forza del Destino has the reputation of being cursed due to some unfortunate incidents. As you'll find out as you play through the chapter, unfortunate incidents do indeed happen during the opera.

Mysterious Chair in the Ruins

Credits to a YouTube video by Manugames92, you can find a chair with a phonograph sitting on top in the middle of a structure in the ruins to the southeastern part of the map near L'Antica Riva. It doesn't really do anything and we don't know what it refers to in-game.
