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
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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!
@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.
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 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
@@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.
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!
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
@@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
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.
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
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!
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.

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.
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
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@yourmomshouse6984 it would’ve been better if they hinted they were twins instead of being some random doppelgänger who happens to look like Vito lol that’s just me though
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).
5:09 I remember at one point they said Livia always had her steak very well done. It seems so strange, for a show that deals so much with food, for Livia to make that kind of Faux Pas about steak. I think it is probably about Livia being so paranoid that she doesn't trust her steak until its cooked all the way through, when she was younger she might not have grown up with quality meat, being poor, (might also be why she "got turned on" when Tony's father would bring back cold cuts), and that she might be that paranoid due to living with poverty
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.
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
@@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
This is completely wrong with zero research... Ercole DiMeo was boss and it was the DiMeo crime family before Sopranos. Ercole was never a Soprano. You missed the whole DiMeo tree.
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.
Great work, Kino. I don't think you mentioned, though, that Christopher was actually a blood relative of Carmella, not Tony. Yet, Tony regularly refers to Christopher as his nephew. It appears from your tree that Christopher was actually Carmella's 1st cousin, once removed.
@JUNKKDOG209 the child of your first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. The grandchild of your first cousin is your first cousin, twice removed. Your child and your first cousins child would be second cousins (with no remove). Remove is basically subtracting the number of generations between two people and their common ancestor. Bigger number goes on top of the equation. If the numbers are the same there are no removes or differences in remoteness from your common ancestor. If the numbers are different, then one party is further removed(or more remote) from the common ancestor.

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.

I think it is probably about Livia being so paranoid that she doesn't trust her steak until its cooked all the way through, when she was younger she might not have grown up with quality meat, being poor, (might also be why she "got turned on" when Tony's father would bring back cold cuts), and that she might be that paranoid due to living with poverty
WOW...
Kino is the goat!
I just paused it at 52 seconds and I'm so confused. I saw the show! recently! I have no idea what's going on!
What about Tony’s half brother. The one that his dad gave Tony’s dog to when he told him it had died.
It was never stated that Johnny Soprano was his real father. He was more likely from an earlier relationship of his mistress.
Excellent video
13:18 Rick! Richard! He was little Ricky when he was 12 years old!
Awesome vid
Interesting video, I never realised that Jackie Jr was Vito's first cousin.
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.
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
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
needed this video bad
Do a video on how Vito and Gino are related.
"Ohhhh pour yu " - my Mommy
He jumped out the tree, and come at me with a chainsaw!
This is completely wrong with zero research... Ercole DiMeo was boss and it was the DiMeo crime family before Sopranos. Ercole was never a Soprano. You missed the whole DiMeo tree.
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.
Great work, Kino. I don't think you mentioned, though, that Christopher was actually a blood relative of Carmella, not Tony. Yet, Tony regularly refers to Christopher as his nephew. It appears from your tree that Christopher was actually Carmella's 1st cousin, once removed.
Once removed?
@@YABUKIJOE2077 Yes, it is an actual layer of relationships involving cousins.
@JUNKKDOG209 the child of your first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. The grandchild of your first cousin is your first cousin, twice removed.
Your child and your first cousins child would be second cousins (with no remove).
Remove is basically subtracting the number of generations between two people and their common ancestor. Bigger number goes on top of the equation. If the numbers are the same there are no removes or differences in remoteness from your common ancestor. If the numbers are different, then one party is further removed(or more remote) from the common ancestor.
Vito has a twin brother named Gino, who appears once in the series.
Kino trying to pronounce "Giacomo" 🤣
