I asked for "more clues", mafia-types could refer to a number of genres in my mind.

Ave Maria has been sung in over 1200 films, mostly Italian of course who are renowned for changing the title especially when English versions are brought out.

I'd be interested to find this myself, the conventional song is unbelievably difficult for a tenor to sing as they can't get the resonance required that a soprano can.

Gotta be a western, Mafia was all the go in them days. I`m sure John Wayne was the main singer.

I assume you mean Schubert's version. This clip seems older than 1980's and don't now which film it is from. Just a guess

I offered this as an option having remembered it from when i was younger, it was my mothers favourite rendition of the song and she loved Mario Lanza. It is from the movie Seranade which came out the year my brother was born - 1956, so doesn't quite make the 1980's for the period Valli was thinking.
