Sopranoland Sightings
Tim from Atlanta sent us some photos and a story… I just rediscovered your site and thought I’d send along this photo of Drea deMatteo and myself. I met her during intermission in Lorraine Bracco’s final performance as Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate” on Broadway. I’ve also attached photos of Lorraine! Drea was outside with her mother, father and grandmother, smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone. I couldn’t believe it was her! This was in February 2003.	Carlo e-mailed us this… I have been a fan of the Sopranos since day one. It was even more special being from North Newark and this was the first time I was able to catch a glimpse of them filming on 10th Street just a few blocks from my house. I was amazed how much goes into the shoots. I was also lucky enough to be able to grab a quick photo opp with Tony Sirico, who by the way was a gentlemen and a real class act. My dream is to get more photos of the cast in the future. I think it is so amazing that people nowadays are able to interact with their favorite celebs. Just think years ago our parents would watch tv hoping that someday they could meet their childhood idols, so yes this is a big deal for me, I guess im just a big kid at heart. Also on a separate note it is even more inspiring to see Italian Americans working as actors and being such a definative credit to their profession. Thanks so much. Your biggest fan (literally). P.S. I was stopped a hundred times and asked for my autograph, some people thought I was Baccala/Vito and I was in costume. But on a serious note I dress like that for real.Cool deal being asked for an autograph, I think I can get used to that. lol *More pix from SopranoDave* from the Bada Bing…. from the Skyway Diner in So.

	Ari shares this tale… I ran into Matt Delnegro (aka Brian Cammarata) in New York City over the summer at a celebrity after-party. We spoke about acting and his career for awhile. He even invited me and my fiance to his birthday party. What a nice guy! Amanda sends us this… I am enclosing a pic of me and Jimmy Gandolfini… I recently met him at a charity event in NYC at Battery Park’s American Park restaurant. He is a great guy. Very nice, funny and down to earth.

Ada tells us… “The Sopranos were filming on my block, in Rutherford both in April & July. Both Drea De Matteo & Michael Imperioli were there both times. The house they were filming at is supposed to represent, I think, a rehab center where Christopher goes to break his coke habit. After filming was over, both graciously posed for pictures. Drea deMatteo (pictured below with a fan on April 17th) was particularly pleasant, posing with the spectators although she must have been suffering, wearing a sweater in weather that was in the mid nineties.”	*SopranoDave shoots again!* These are from the 3/19/02 filming at Bada Bing… And this one of Michael Imperioli is from the 3/29/02 filming at Matarrazzo Farms in No. Caldwell.	Rachel says, “I met Furio Giunta at this restaurant called South City Grill in Parsippany, NJ. He was extremely nice and gladly let me snap this photo with him.”
SopranoDave sent these Season Four photos of filming in November at Italianissmo Restaurant in West Caldwell and the remodeled Soprano House	Johnny shares this story… Nate asks… “Was anyone aware of the filming of some Sopranos scenes down In Florida ?? I saw them there while I was down there 7/2- 7/3. They shot some scenes at the Fountainbleu Hotel. I got some shots of “T” (James Gandolfini), and BEANSY was there too, so I guess he’s back in the picture.” “My brother and I recently ran into Federico Castelluccio walking down Broadway in Manhattan. We spoke with him for about 10 minutes and he couldn’t have been nicer and more genuine. He was on his way back from an art show and had a book on painting with him. He told us how he is a painter as well. I have since checked out his website and learned that he is an amazing painter. This is one talented guy. I asked him about his accent and then we started speaking Italian and he explained that he was born in Napoli and lived most of his life in NJ. He had been on the set that morning and was on his way back that afternoon. It was so cool to talk to him and it really blew our minds.”
Steve Schirripa Desktop Wallpaper Steve Schirripa at The Riviera in Las Vegas 640×480 800×600 1024×768	Back in April 2001 I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Schirripa (aka Bobby Bacala) at the Riviera in Las Vegas for a Sopranoland interview. I’m lame, and I’ll admit it, because I still haven’t transcribed the recordings from that day. I’m gonna try and post them as audio files shortly, so you can listen to his responses to my questions. Until then, here’s the photos.
