The Italian word for Lightning bolt (or thunder bolt) used in the Godfather?

It's when Micheal is in Italy and sees Apollonia for the 1st time. They say he was hit by the lightning (or thunder- I can't remember) bolt. Does anyone know what this word is? Thanks!!!!

He says "è stato un colpo di fulmine" (it has been a stroke of lightning).
It's the Italian saying that it's used when somebody fall in love at the first sight. Lightning it's very quick like the love that suddenly comes up.

"Tuono" is the sound of the thunder bolt.
The correct word is "fulmine".

I think "tuono". But I'm not sure because of the context.
