Corleone Family

The Corleone family is a fictional Sicilian-American organized crime family, and the focus of the novels and films of The Godfather series. The family was created by Mario Puzo and first appears in his 1969 novel The Godfather. The family is from Corleone, Sicily, Italy and is based in New York City.

Compared with the real-life Five Families of organized crime, the Corleone family draws comparisons with the Genovese and Bonanno crime families.
