founding father Explanation: It's stretching it a good bit because 'founding fathers' usually refers to the signers of the US declaration of independence, and anyhow the 'patron' may not necessarily be the 'founder'...but it gives the idea. The film padre padrone seems to be translated as 'Father Master' dunno about that... Otherwise I thought of 'head of the dynasty' which shows succession if nothing else.. |
