However, it has gained a specific meaning in popular culture, particularly due to its use in the "The Godfather" series. In this context, a "consiliere" is:
* A high-ranking member of a Mafia family
* A trusted advisor to the boss
* Responsible for providing strategic counsel, mediating disputes, and maintaining relationships with other families.
So, while the literal translation of "consiliere" is "counselor," its meaning has evolved to represent a specific role within organized crime, especially the Mafia.
