Vincenzo "Lucky" Cilli is a main character and the tertiary antagonist in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
He is voiced by Joe Lo Truglio.
History[]
Background[]
Having taken advantage of Toni Cipriani's absence to rise within the family, Vincenzo is clean-cut and educated, everything Toni is not. Toni despises Vincenzo on sight.
However, there were rumors that he wasn't entirely loyal to Salvatore, and the LCPD had been keeping tabs on him to investigate it.
Events of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
Toni's return and betrayal[]
Vincenzo and Toni share a mutual dislike for each other, and show each other no respect. Vincenzo's attitude and lack of respect towards his mother also infuriates Toni, and on one occasion Toni walks into Vincenzo's warehouse to find him talking to his mother on the phone whilst having sex with a prostitute at the same time.
When Toni begins to rise too high in the Leone hierarchy for Vincenzo's liking, Vincenzo sends him to pick up his car a few blocks from his office in Trenton and bring it to his lock up in Saint Mark's. The car is being watched by the police and Toni is nearly caught in an ambush. An irate Toni answers Vincenzo's phone call and responds by stating that he quits working for Vincenzo. He then takes Vincenzo's car to the crusher in Harwood and destroys it.
Death[]
Later on, when Toni is back in Salvatore's good graces, Vincenzo wants a "truce", asking Toni to meet him in the bowels of a docked ship near his warehouse in Atlantic Quays. This is an ambush, however, where Toni is assaulted by several chainsaw-wielding Leone henchmen loyal to Vincenzo. Upon killing them all, Vincenzo emerges with a Micro-SMG, only to be killed by Toni after he explains his new found jealousy towards him for gaining considerable favour with Salvatore.
Vincenzo is buried in the cemetery adjacent to the cathedral on Staunton Island. The epitaph on his gravestone reads "Not so lucky after all."

Trivia[]
- Although Vincenzo is the tertiary antagonist of the game, he appears in more missions than both Massimo Torini and Paulie Sindacco combined.
- Vincenzo is one of seven antagonists in the series who disappear after their betrayal and only reappear when they are killed. The others are: Big Smoke, Dimitri Rascalov, Billy Grey, Ray Bulgarin, Harold Joseph, and Devin Weston. However, Dimitri (if the Revenge ending is chosen) and Vincenzo are the only two who are not killed at the end of their respective games.
- Vincenzo's nickname, "Lucky", is likely a reference to real-life Italian-American mobster Lucky Luciano.
