Sopranos family tree summary: one father, one mudda, a billion uncles and 2 cousins
Cuzshins
I wondah' what's French-Canadian for I grew up widdout a mudda..
Fawtha
AND IN THE END WE ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER BY ONE MOM AND ONE DAD, ADAM AND EVE... BUT, THAT SNEAKY BI-SNAKE THAT PAULIE EDUCATED TONY! WORMS TOO! THEY CAN PROCREATE ON THEIR OWN. SNAKES ALSO EAT THEMSELVES! EWWWW! CANNIBALISM!
As an Irish American a lot of this stuff relates with the traditional large families. I was grown ass man before I realized a couple dozen middle-aged to elderly ladies weren't actually my Aunts....
Let me know when you realize this is just a fictional family depicted in your television. Focus on your own family in real life that you abandoned to buy cigs
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 Oh Shit Tony Soprano isn't real? I had no clue edgelord.
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 you deserve the Darwin Award
@@youknowwhoyouare2269bruh shut the hell up lmao
Catholic eh my god so confusing
Have you thought about making one for the Soprano crime family? I feel like it gets confusing who is what rank/in what crew from season to season
Great idea honestly.
I thought that’s what it was about at first
It really is confusing since the writers would just throw in new crew members whenever the plot needed them. It's one of my very few complaints about the show
@@toreyflint4727 it’s realistic we don’t see slot of the baresse crew the biggest and I forgot his name but the rat who died from the stroke had a crew
@@Burnthealphabetpeople Ray Curto
Kino, what about Gino Spatafore from season 1? Crucial character imo, his relationship with the bakery cashier is a foil to Johnny cakes and Vito. It rhymes like pottery, David chase really is a genius!
Dude's name was Dougie, aka Poppin Fresh, not "bakery cashier."
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 listen poppin fresh i’m in no mood
Yeah, I love the work that you do. The thing is really good.
Gino transformed into Vito like how Phil transformed into a talking house
Uncle Junior mentioned that his brother Ercole was named after his grandfather. He doesn’t specify which side but, that makes it a 50/50 chance that Ercole is the one who drove the donkey cart of the road in Avellino.
Why is that murdering war criminal asshole your profile picture
In Italian culture, the oldest boy is usually named after his paternal grandfather
@@JohnDoe-wj3lv Is Ercole Tony’s paternal grandfather’s name? That’s a good point. You’re probably right.
Maybe he had a panicky attack and blacked out.
The donkey cart thing was always so funny to me
Can you explain how Uncle Philly turned into a house that one time? Was a home part of his family tree somewhere?
Apparently the rl reason was the actor messed up and missed a flight so they dubbed it like he’s shouting out the window… but it just looks like the house is shouting at them lol
Listen to this prick, giving orders!
That's new York related, why would he explain it
Ho Hoo!✋🏽
Yeah, you know whatever happened there.
Harpo: “Sacré bleu! Where is me papa?”
More like Mama
@@Nomozacc Least he knows who his mother is. His papa’s probably a French sailor from Toulouse or some shit.
@@MoskHotel Thats not what Im saying im saying that he should say sacre bleu where is me mama because his ma went to buy milk
Nancy Blundetto is NOT Kelly's mother. Tony B had her with someone else before he went away as a guest of the government. Tony met Nancy while he was incarcerated.
Carmela’s sister is called Patti, they talk about ‘ Aunt Patti’ in the car when they are driving to Artie’s restaurant in the storm end of Season 1
That's the scene/episode that flashed through my head...I knew Carmela's sister was name checked there. Thanks for saving me from doing extra homework in Kino's AP Sopranos' class!
@@RockAndGrohlMe my pleasure!
I knew that one too, go us
Patti means dog in my language, lol
I thought her sister was in Florida not Jersey. Hmmm
Also that scene where Jacky Jr. Is eyeballing Adriana when he's sitting with Ralphie. Ralphie waves his finger at him and goes 'eh eh ehhh' as in don't even think about it she's taken...Jackie and Adriana share the same uncle Richie lol
Ahahaha gross
I don’t think I ever realized Joanne was a blundetto but it makes sense how he was a cousin of the Tony’s
THAT ANIMAL BLUNDETTO
@@galleryofrogues THAT *FUCKIN* ANIMAL BLUNDETTO
Yes, in the birthday party of Hugh, Tony B calls Joanne his cousin
What's your father's birthday? What town was he born? Do you even know? @@ignaciogodoy7095
@youknowwhoyouare2269 shut up whomever you are. Do you know your father? You sound like a twat with all your posts on this video. I see your screen name and how it plays into all this but ur a fuk tard.
Oh and yes I know my father. Good day.
The "Oh, poor you!" made me laugh so hard. Your comedic timing is on point.
Totally. So much of the comedy of CZcams videos is in the editing.
This could be the best CZcams video about The Sopranos ever made...but I'm not listening to that accent.
@@educateme8455 he doesnt have an accent
I’m half Italian and had quite a few uncle Zios. This is because Zio was sort of a nick name as it means Uncle in Italian.
Uncle uncle
zio is not a nick name, it os how you say uncle in Italian.
@@jj-ju4hp Yeah, I’ll diggem up and correct them then. 🤨
Everyone thinks my uncle’s name is Theo bc I call him Tio. Tio is Zio in Spanish.
The Sopranos family tree unironically rivals the complexity of Game of Thrones families. I guess HBO has a thing for that.
You missed Livia's brother Mickey who died at 36 years old of liver cancer. Janice and Tony talk about him in Another Toothpick.
yeah a lot of things are forgotten
I never knew the exact connection of how chris / tony/ carmella were related
This makes so much sense thx man
23andMe ova heaaa!!!
But for real...great work Kino!
Never had the makings of a Varsity Oak
I think "cousin" is thrown around loosely, and they may mean first or second couson, or just similarly aged male relative somewhere in the family.
Phil's exact relation to Vito was specified because Tony first said Phil was an uncle. So clarification was waranted.
Yeah, in the scene where Phil Leotardo was eating at Vito’s, Vito’s wife called Phil cousin, and Vito had earlier mentioned Phil was his cousin. So were they both his cousin, or was one a cousin and the other refers to him as cousin now that they’re married to his cousin? Like you said, how much is it signifying blood and how much a term of affection.
I’m Greek which is really similar to Italian culture and yes I have a lot of “cousins” and “uncles” who aren’t related by blood/marriage at all
I think tv addicts such as yourselves have wayyyyyyyy too much free time to talk about tv shows, and require intervention like Chrissy's heroin addiction
Instead of spending time with your family, you adopted CZcamsrs to talk about a TV family from 10yrs ago? @@paulevans6066
@@paulevans6066 I agree. The better a cultures food is the more likely you are going to have some cousins, aunts, and uncles who aren’t related to you by blood.
Video should be called "The Soprano Pygmy Thing in Jersey Tree EXPLAINED"
I'm pretty sure there were only 2 you forgot: Chicky Sasso, Johnny Boy and Junior Sopranos cousin on their mothers side. He's in the flashback where he gets shot in the leg at the theme park in Tony and Janice's childhood. Also Carmela's Uncle Lenny that ubbatz! Tony brings him up in another argument with Carmela. Well done!
The memory on you!
What about “ailing Soorano underboss” Joseph “Beppy” Sasso? I seem to recall in some of the supplemental material on the HBO website that Beppy was Junior’s cousin, and I always just assumed he was Chicky’s brother
Apparently, Chicky was in the army during the Vietnam war. But with his knee cap blasted off, he’d been let off from the service.
@@mrpink99 you're absolutely right he slipped my mind. It's weird in the first season I distinctly remember Junior mentioning a cousin and saying things like "you should talk to my cousin about this" or "let me send my recommendation to my cousin" and we never actually really meet or see said cousin, I think I always assumed he meant Tony or something like that. It's weird we didn't see more or get more info on Beppy
@@MoskHotel exactly! "Guy got outta nam on account the cops blew out his knee cap"- Tony Soprano
🤣🤣 my Dad got that Cookbook for Christmas. My house has never been so full of Gabagool! Good on you for doing this. It is a confusing family.
Let's go Kino, watching from Colombia, I'm glad you decided to make more Sopranos content
waiting for Cali Cartel family tree :)
Was looking for a video about this a couple months ago, this is exactly what I was looking for! Nice!
If Tony and Patsy is related by blood that would be very weird given the fact that Meadow and Patsy’s son are together.
not real
I believe that Tony and Patsy are second cousins.
Very well done! Ps - Giacomo is pronounced like “Jock-ah-mo”
Thanks Kino for The Sopranos throwback👍 Youve out-Kino'd yourself once again.
God Bless bro👍
Great work! This was something we needed 😆
Oh my god this is exactly the video i needed😭 thank youuuuuu
The cousins in The Godfather III were first cousins. Far different than being distantly related.
Would love to see a video about the full Sopranos timeline, anyways, great work Kino
Thanks for this, Kino! It answers a lot of questions for me. 👍🏿
Wow! Really great video ❤
I was about to go to sleep, then I got hit with the info that it's possible that Meadow's potential child is going to be inbred
Thank you Kino, I really needed that.
How??
@@xurgian6249 The Soprano and Parisi family are related, but I think it either was mentioned once in the show or wasn't mentioned at all
@@pablo_giustiniani omg lmao wtf that’s insNe
@@xurgian6249it’s a delete scene it’s not cannon
I didn't know I wanted to know kino THANKS!!! 🙏🏾🎉👏🏾👍🏾🥰
I swear, the comment threads in Soprano videos never miss. I cannot watch a video without at the end going through the comment section and having a great laugh. Bless the people who make the videos (here being Kino, you’re a legend) and those who comment on them!
Great work here Kino!
Nice work!
You put more effort into keeping these lines straight, I'm sure, than the writers did. I mean, Vito talking about Adriana, stuff like that. And even probably Vito being Jackie Jr. 's cousin. My guess is they just forgot. There were several writers, probably contradicted each other on many things.
Great work
I TOLD YOU, ITS A GLORIFIED BUSH!
You made my day
Just a point…
“Uncle Zio” was mentioned. Now, “zio” is the Italian word for “uncle”. Therefore, was ‘Uncle Zio’s first name actually “Zio” or was it some sort of nickname that happened to stick for some curious reason?
For example, when an infant is being bilingually educated, the uncle may be referred to with “that’s your uncle, your zio”… eventually being corrupted to the familiarity of “uncle zio”, and it sticking. I think that’s more likely than his actual name being “Zio”.
Nah he’s just the ultimate uncle
Awesome vid
Phil & Marie may have been second cousins but Phil loved Vito like a brother in law.
Excellent video
It’s going to be my 4 time watch the Sopranos again love the show so much
I always thought Corrado saying "he had 7 daughters" was always confusing the story of the 7 sisters with actual family history cuz of his dementia lol
my great grandfather also had 7 daughters it’s actually more common than you think
I'd say that when it comes to Aprile family the two sisters would be the eldest: It'd probably be Vito's mum (who would marry someone with the surname Spatafore) roughly born around 1945/1946, followed by Liz LaCerva (1948), Richie (1949/50), and Jackie (1954/55). Vito was at least born in 1965.
???????????? These aren't real life people you're wasting braincells trying to figure out where they fit on a fictional family tree. Seek a Dr Melfi type ASAP
6:50 Tony's response, "its the least I could do" is such a good line😅
I wonder if there’s supposed to be a connection between Gloria growing up in a family of all girls (her parents had seven daughters) and Livia also growing up in a family of all girls (she was one of four daughters). Were we supposed to surmise that they had similar upbringings? 🤔
Edit: wow this family is quite inbred.
Family Tree is almost a straight pole like the Ptolemy Family Tree. Check out that family tree on Ptolemaic Dynasty family tree. It's on the very cool channel called "Useful Charts" they do family tree's for pretty much any interesting dynasty/family in History.
I wonder if any of you know the birthdays of your own parents, when's the last time you called your poor mudda? Reach out to your real families, stop watching tv
Yeah there are a lot of families that are inbred like that. Look at the Gambinos. Carlo Gambino married his cousin. Paul Castellano was his cousin as well since since it was Paul’s sister Carlo married. They really kept it in the family.
Very insightful how you surmised David Chase''s specificities.
Interesting fact,Andrea is Tony's niece,then Tony kills or make mostly relatives are death!🤣
“Meadow was dating her distant cousin.” Me, from East Tennessee, “whats wrong with that?!?!”
Hey Kino. Great job on this, must've taken a long time and it looks pretty too. Did you use the Ramsey Outdoor computer? I think he had Photoshop on it, at least before he gambled it away. BTW, the store is still open up on Route 17 in Mahwah. They are short a golf club that Furio took (even tho itsa stupidafokin game).
Uncle zio is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. It means “Uncle Uncle”
5:46 "Ghemma" :P (also omg hearing you in Arby n the Chief was amazing! ❤❤❤)
It was a dream come true to be in one of my favorite series of all time!
@@PureKino omg I can only imagine 😍 you earned it though man, for real. I thought I was tripping when I heard your voice, like "NO WAY... is that... * rewind * OH MY GOD!
It was already soooooo intense at that point, so when I heard you it caught me totally off guard!
@@PureKino you should cover AntC next. ch33flogs! "Arbiter AND th- stfu fagg0t it's CH33F LOGS. I'M THE BOSS. BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS LOL REMEMBIR ARBITUR?
Well done 🔥
Loved this video. BTW I have The Sopranos cookbook too and I Love it.
I just made Carmela’s ricotta pie with pineapple over the weekend. I can see why it got Meadow a recommendation to Georgetown. 😉
@@dewilew2137 oh yeah, I made that one too and it was so good. It was definitely good enuff to get that letter of recommendation. Even if she didn't no the girl. Good thing she brought the plate back too lol
Kino is the goat!
This book never had the makings of a varsity athlete
the writer had small hands
Why were the Wheredafuggawes not mentioned? They were a nomadic tribe that Tony is descended from
Great video, Kino! I don't see the 3 Blundetto siblings' parents, though. Were they never mentioned in the show?
needed this video bad
I wasn't aware of The Soprano family tree book. That's one to put on my wishlist.
Great work there was lot there I forgot
WOW...
Since you mention Godfather III, I just watched it for the first time last week and it was fun seeing how many things were referenced from it in the Sopranos. I totally think Christopher Moltisanti was modeled after Vincent Mancini.. the looks and the way he acts are so similar except Christopher is way more silly to fit the Sopranos comedic style. And I also think Meadow was modeled after Mary Corleone. The nephew & the daughter of the boss thing was totes borrowed
Great vid, cheers! I find myself sympathizing more with Livia as time goes on ;)
She knew that Tony was no good.
One other thing in terms of Vito's family line, you mentioned Bryan, but there's also that other brother Vito mentions and we see when he approaches Tony in the mall after he comes back from NH.
Fascinating analysis though
Wow,
Great Job.
Thanks for this. The Blundetto-Multisanti lines are the ones that have given me the most headaches and have made zero sense. This helps.
Reminds me of an old joke about hillbilly's asking in friendly casual conversation...."So how were your parents related BEFORE they got married?".
Clear as mud
The sopranos are not a tree, they are a glorified bush
i know a few Italians with the last name Pollio over here in Newark Nj i used to work with a guy named Pete Pollio he is a musician and truck driver
Kino, I love your vids man, but please hit me up when you’re unsure of how to pronounce some of these Italian words and names!! I’d love to help make your vids even better 🍝
Ok this is becoming like Star Wars... If it didn't happen or was mentioned on the show it doesn't exist!
Do a video on how Vito and Gino are related.
I've always felt like that story about his great grandfather building that church was more of Tony making up stories
Awesome.
Sal Moltisanti was definitely real as Christopher mentioned at the beginning of the movie that, “my grandfather and his brother were with the Dimeo crime family.” As for the apparent name change on Hollywood Dick, I think it just stems from the fact David Chase or anyone from the show not writing the book themselves and Hollywood Dick’s actual name is Aldo Moltisanti.
There's a reference in one of the episodes to a "Little Augie" Aprile, who's mentioned by Dr. Melfi's psychiatrist (played by Peter Bogdanovich) as someone he figured might have been her mobbed-up patient right after she inadvertently drops Tony's name during one of there sessions.
Great video idea and execution Kino, my brother. What shows are in your sights next as far as new video series?
Once I'm done with my Wire videos, I'm going to do Mad Men
@@PureKino Sick bro can't wait
@@PureKino the only show that’s as good as sopranos, in my opinion. I’ve found that theres two types of Sopranos fans, and you can distinguish one from the other by asking them what’s their favorite show besides the Sopranos. If they say “the wire”, that’s type A. If they say “mad men”, or even “breaking bad”, that’s type B. The Sopranos appeals to both types for completely different reasons.
Spoiler: type B is the superior group. 😉
"It's an Italian thing, okay."
Interesting video, I never realised that Jackie Jr was Vito's first cousin.
The only problem I see is that Joanna Blundetto couldn’t have been Uncle Albert’s sister because Tony B calls her cousin in Marco Pollo and she’s about the same age as the two Tonys. Albert must’ve had another sibling and she was the daughter, making her Tony B’s cousin.
Maybe she was a a change of life baby
Ya that actually makes sense
@@pennystocklocks That’s true, but then Tony B would’ve called he aunt, not cousin.
@@danieljohnson2005 timeline got f**ked up
Awesome
Trees, ducks, who dafuq are you, Ranger Rick?
Very interesting, although it was extremely painful listening to the many incorrect (typically Americanised) and corrupted pronunciations of Italian names by Pure Kino 🤷🏻♂️
What about Tony’s half brother. The one that his dad gave Tony’s dog to when he told him it had died.
A sopranoss cook book🤩
finally explained they need to do a side or spin off just on sopranos family also new york has cousins im wondering if in italian culture close friends or called cousins because in african american families close friends that have children the kids will call there parents friends aunt and uncle but would love to see more family relations
I gotta watch more of James's roles.
And Edie Falco’s.
13:18 Rick! Richard! He was little Ricky when he was 12 years old!
what´s up guys, kinoooooooo hereeeeeeee.
FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS A BREAKDOWN OF THE ACTUAL CRIME FAMILY:
A brief history of the DeMeo family's leadership.
Over the course of the series, we see the family under the leadership of three nominal bosses, Ercole "The Old Man" DeMeo, Corrado "Junior" Soprano and Tony Soprano, and consiglieres Mikey "Grab Bag" Palmice and Silvio Dante. There are 6 crews active at the start of the series, plus the La Manna crew (which we know existed before Feech's release from The Many Saints of Newark) which is presumably either relatively inactive or operating under an anonymous acting capo. The captains of said crews are as follows:
APRILE CREW: Jackie Aprile (deceased) - Richie Aprile (murdered) -Gigi Cestone (deceased)- Ralph Cifaretto (murdered)- Vito Spatafore (murdered) - merged with the Altieri crew under Carlo Gervasi.
CURTO CREW: Raymond Curto (deceased) - unknown who succeeds Ray, possibly absorbed by another captain as with the Aprile crew.
ALTIERI CREW: Jimmy Altieri (Murdered)- Carlo Gervasi.
BARESE CREW: Larry Barese (Arrested)- Albert Barese.
J. SOPRANO CREW: Junior Soprano (promoted to boss)- Joseph Sasso (arrested) - Philly "Spoons" Parisi (murdered)- Murf Lupo (demoted due to dementia and physical frailty)- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri (murdered) - probably Tony Maffei.
T. SOPRANO CREW: Tony Soprano (promoted to boss)- Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri.
LA MANNA CREW: Michele "Feech" La Manna (sent back to prison) - possibly Christopher Moltisanti? He becomes a full captain after Feech's arrest and I don't know what other crew he could have taken over.
there was also carmella's uncle lenny but thats for future debate. great video
czcams.com/video/Dh8pC1BzzUU/video.html&ab_channel=TonySoprano
Pollio is a rare Italian name and is another version of the Italian surname Pollino and a variant of the first name Pollo. Pollino is also a rare Italian name and is basically a shortened version of the name Apollo, which means destroyer in some languages but also means strength and power, wisdom and intelligence. In Spanish it possibly means young ass and fool. Makes sense with the name destroyer though for Livia.
