Salvatore 'Sal' Narducci (1887-1959) ("Laughing Sal") is the scheming Consigliere to Vincent Forlenza and is a prominent figure in the novel, The Godfather Returns.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio with childhood friend Vincent Forlenza. (Surprisingly he is not a Jew, as most people are in the Cleveland Organization). He rose up with his friend and ran 50 % of the gambling rackets in Cleveland. By 1931, Forlenza and Narducci killed off all competition and became the most powerful family of strictly gambling in the U.S.. By the 1940s, he was feared for his temper and many belieaved him to be a jew because he was known to stab people in the back.

By the early 1950s, Narducci was starting to grow suspicious of Forlenza and started plotting against him. In 1955, it was he who ordered that a sachel be delivered to a plane carrying Nick Geraci, Frankie Falcone, and Tony Molinari. The plane blew up and killed Falcone and Molinari but Geraci survived. Narducci visited Geraci in a private hospital and told him Forlenza was behind it.

In 1956, Geraci confirmed his beliefs that Narduci was a spy for Michael Corleone, and Geraci went to Forlenza about this. Geraci and Forlenza plotted a plan to kill him, Hyman Roth, strenthen the Chicago Mob, destroy the Corleone operation in Cuba, and just for spite, kill Fredo Corleone.

By 1959, as part of Geraci's revenge, Narducci was lured to a meeting in Sicily bealiving it would enrich him. He went to a cave, and was ambushed by Geraci and several others. They hung him from the top of the cave and left him there.
