This is how the boy would be addressed for the rest of his days.
Maybe this man’s confusion over Andolini vs. Corleone is a sign of willful ignorance.
The Godfather Part IInever properly explains why the immigration worker records Vito’s surname incorrectly.
Secondly,the Corleone surname gives Vito an eternal connection to his roots.
Taking a new name represents a symbolic new life for Vito.
He entered the country as a very unwell, innocent, unassuming child - Vito Andolini.
He ultimately became a very strong, powerful, respected criminal - Vito Corleone.
