Nino Santangelo is a character in Mafia III.
History[]
Background[]
Nino Santangelo is an influential Cuban heroin kingpin known to Giorgi Marcano, who had been supplying Giorgi with heroin, who in turn was sneaking it into New Bordeaux without his father's permission. After Lincoln Clay kills Sal Marcano's second capo, Marcano is in need of money, so he agrees to let Santangelo sell heroin in New Bordeaux in exchange for his financial support. Santangelo's only request is that he be allowed to kill Lincoln Clay.
Death[]
When Santangelo attempts to ambush Lincoln in the French Ward, his men are killed, and he's fatally wounded. As he lies on the ground dying, he utters one last racial insult at Lincoln, who states "My name is Lincoln Clay" before plunging his knife into Santangelo's throat, killing him.

Trivia[]
- Santangelo is one of the few targets to not have a bio in the Kill List, along with Judge Holden, Remy Duvall, Ritchie Doucet, and Giorgi Marcano.
- The dialogue between Sal and Santangelo will be different depending on which capo is killed second. How the cutscene plays out will also change.
- Santangelo and Giorgi will only appear onscreen together if Olivia Marcano is killed second.
- Santangelo commands a Cuban cartel who appear as unique enemies accompanying him when he attacks the player. They also have unique combat dialogue and pain cries when hurt or killed, which all have thick Cuban accents. However, appearance wise they are retextured Marcano family goons in different clothing.
- His voice actor, Jordi Caballero, also portrays Salvatore in Mafia: Definitive Edition.
