Constanzia 'Connie' Corleone-Rizzi is a fictional character from The Godfather by Mario Puzo

Template:Spoiler

Connie is the sister of Sonny, Fredo and Michael Corleone. She married Carlo Rizzi and had a son by him, Michael, named after brother Michael, who is the child's godfather. Connie had a rocky relationship with Carlo, who often beat her. When she complained to Sonny, he beat Carlo until Connie begged him off.

Carlo schemed with Michael's rival, Don Tattaglia, and beat Connie badly. She called Sonny in a state of terror, and he drove to Connie's place; while enroute he was ambushed and assassinated. Later, Michael took revenge by killing Carlo, after promising Connie not to. Connie resented Michael for years, having a series of meaningless affairs just to spite him, but came back to the Family after Fredo died. (Ironically, Fredo died at Michael's order, revenge for supplying his enemy Hymen Roth with information he used to try and assassinate him. Connie never found out the truth, believing Fredo drowned.)

Connie was instrumental in persuading Michael to take his nephew Vincent under his wing and groom him as the new Don.
