Silvio was always the strong, silent type that Tony so admired.

The scene where Tony finally goes to visit Sil in the hospital and his loving wife (in both real life and Sopranos) is there clipping his toenails, ever loyal to her man. No words are spoken, she just looks at Tony and smiles and then Tony takes Sil's hand (mirroring the time Tony was in a coma and Silvio took his hand).

[@CaptainColdyron222]

Tony: “Let me ask you a question. You think Ralph’s a little weird about women?” Sil: “I don’t know, Tone. I mean, he beat one to death.”

Ricky Roma David Chase just liked him. So much so that he originally wanted him for Tony (until JG cane along and nailed it), but it’s not nepotism.

[@Marek-gn9jn]

He just showed up to set one day and started impersonating pacino, and they just shot around him. That’s when David Chase decided to add Silvio’s character to the story.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

I have so many old school Italian relatives that actually think that way. My cousin came out to his parents as gay back in 1993, it was the last time that they ever spoke. My own mother told me, at the time I was a 13 year old kid, that if I ever said anything like that to her that I should just forget that I even have a mother. Sure it's funny to watch, but it's sad cause this shit is real. I thank God that I never had to hide my sexuality, or confront my parents cause I was lucky enough to be born straight. If I wasn't so lucky, I wouldn't be talking to my mom or been allowed at my father's funeral, just like my poor cousin.
