Tom Hagen vs. Carlo Rizzi
Like many small time petty crooks, Carlo didn’t like to work and wasn’t good at holding a job. Not only was he lazy, he wasn’t smart. He made mistakes as a bookie and his co-workers had to keep an eye on him. He was the guy who married Connie Corleone and abused her, using one …
