Carmela Soprano, born Carmela DeAngelis (born November 29, 1960), is the wife of mafia boss Tony Soprano. She is also the mother of Meadow Soprano and Anthony Soprano Jr. Carmela's parents are Hugh and Mary DeAngelis..
Carmela Soprano (née DeAngelis), played by Edie Falco, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. She is married to Mafia boss Tony Soprano.
Christopher Moltisanti is Tony's nephew and Carmela's first cousin. His father Dickie Moltisanti was something of a mentor to the youthful Tony. So when the senior Moltisanti was shot to death, Tony, in turn, took Christopher under his wing.
Dickie was also a cousin of Carmela Soprano (née DeAngelis). After a brief time during which he acted as a mentor to young Tony Soprano, Dickie was murdered in 1972.
Hugo "Hugh" De Angelis played by Tom Aldredge, is the father of Carmela Soprano and the father-in-law of Tony Soprano.
Tony affectionately refers to Christopher as his "nephew," but he is actually a cousin once removed of Tony's wife Carmela (Carmela's father Hugh and Chris's grandmother Lena were brother and sister).
Anthony John Soprano Jr. is a fictional character on the HBO television series The Sopranos, portrayed by Robert Iler. He is the son of Carmela and Tony Soprano and the little brother of Meadow Soprano.
Dickie is not really Tony's uncle. He's actually related to Carmela De Angelis, who would marry the adult Tony. The teenage Carmela pops up in the film.
He is a mob boss who becomes involved with the DiMeo Crime family and is also the father of Christopher Moltisanti. In addition, Dickie is the uncle of Tony Soprano, whom he often mentors to try and become a better person rather than allow Tony to get involved with a life of crime.
Joanne Moltisanti (née Blundetto) is the mother of Christopher Moltisanti, the mother-in-law of Kelli Lombardo Moltisanti and the paternal grandmother of Caitlyn Lombardo Moltisanti. She was married to Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti, who was Carmela Soprano's first cousin.
Dickie Moltisanti was a soldier in Johnny Soprano's crew and was very close to Tony Soprano. Tony reminisces that Dickie was like a big brother to him and so, when Dickie died while Chris was still young, Tony looked out for Christopher, affectionately referring to him as his nephew.
In The Sopranos season 4, episode 1, "For All Debts Public And Private,” Tony told Christopher that his father Dickie was killed by Barry Haydu, a New Jersey detective. According to Tony, Barry was taking orders from a criminal named Jilly Ruffalo, who had his eye gouged out by Dickie.
After the accident, Tony sees a crushed baby seat and seemingly thinks about his own children, forcing Tony to take control, because he can, and essentially choose one family over another by killing Christopher (who, tellingly, isn't his direct blood relative).
Capicola, also referred to as coppa, capocollo, or even gabagool among New York's Italian-American population, is an Italian cured meat made from pork shoulder and neck. It originated in Piacenza in the north of Italy and in the Calabria region in the south.
Biography. Barbara is the youngest child of Johnny and Livia Soprano, and sister of Tony and Janice Soprano. She is seen infrequently, usually only visiting her siblings for family functions, weddings or funerals.
Instead of Uncle June, Sopranos creator David Chase found him what was supposed to be a smaller role: Dimeo crime family captain Paulie “Walnuts” Gualitieri, who got his nickname by hijacking a truck he thought was full of TVs only to find it was transporting, well, walnuts.
In the final act of The Many Saints of Newark, Dickie gets assassinated under the orders of Junior Soprano, putting an end to the speculation regarding the true circumstances of how Dickie died.
