- 1:10.it that deepens the topics discussed on the
- 1:14portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri, who
- 1:17introduces today's topic. Good morning, today
- 1:19I'm talking to you about a well -known actor.
- 1:21He left us not too long ago, Tony Sirico, known
- 1:24to the general public for the role of Poli Gualtieri
- 1:26in the lucky TV series The Sopranos. Not everyone
- 1:29knows, however, that in his youth Sirico was
- 1:30really a little good. Never betray your friends.
- 1:34E tieni sempre la bocca chiusa. Fin da piccolo
- 1:39ho sognato di diventare un gangster. Ehi, ma
- 1:44che ne dici? You look like a gangster. Tony Styrico
- 1:47was not new to such roles in which he was perfectly
- 1:50at ease. In the movie Those Good Boys of 1990,
- 1:54directed by Martin Scorsese, you will remember
- 1:56him, for example, in that of the mobster Tony
- 1:59Stax. When I grew up I dedicated myself to the
- 2:02load and especially to the unloading of goods
- 2:04from the New York airport. And we stole everything.
- 2:11The actor was raised in Brooklyn, in the New
- 2:14York neighborhood of Bensonhurst, known in the
- 2:17past years for mafia activities. Between 1950
- 2:20and 1970, Tony Sirico was arrested 28 times.
- 2:24His first crime was committed at only 7 years
- 2:27old, when he was charged for stealing coins from
- 2:30a warehouse. Killing people was a normal thing
- 2:35in the administration. Hey Harry, here he is!
- 2:37What are you talking about? Here's an arm, and
- 2:40here's a leg. Which piece do you prefer? Subsequently,
- 2:45his curriculum was enriched with all kinds of
- 2:47illicit, from assault to robbery, through to
- 2:49illegal possession of weapons. In an interview
- 2:52with the Los Angeles Times, Tony Sirico stated,
- 2:55At the time, I was a boy with a gun. Once, when
- 2:57I went to prison, I found three firearms on me.
- 3:00In the interview, Tony Sirico added, In our neighborhood,
- 3:04if you didn't have a gun, you were like a rabbit
- 3:06during the hunting season. You had to be crazy
- 3:13to refuse that life. We were idolized and respected
- 3:17like movie stars. All you had to do was ask and
- 3:19they gave you everything. It will be a beautiful
- 3:21summer. According to Tony, among the triggering
- 3:24causes of his criminal acts, there was love for
- 3:27a woman who was not his wife. Forgetting to have
- 3:29a pregnant wife and children, I only watched
- 3:31for that girl, he said. Once in a bar, Tony Sirico
- 3:35remembered, a sailor approached his girl to have
- 3:38a chat. That was all it took to make him angry.
- 3:41He gave her a pillow, petted her, and when she
- 3:43was done, he threw her body in the bay without
- 3:45knowing if she was still alive. Those were exultant
- 3:48times. in a world dominated by violence only
- 3:54the violent dictated the law And the new generation
- 3:58was doing well with traditional methods. In a
- 4:02verbal condemnation, it turned out that Tony
- 4:03Sirico had threatened the owners of some nightclubs,
- 4:07hitting them on the head with a baseball bat.
- 4:09The actor remembered when a theater company entered
- 4:12the prison he was in. From that moment he understood
- 4:15what he wanted to do. Then Tony Sirico said,
- 4:18when I got out of prison, I called my friend
- 4:20Richard Castellano, who had played Peter Clemenza
- 4:23in the film The Godfather. I told Richard that
- 4:26I wanted to be the actor and after... un paio
- 4:27di settimane esordì nel film Joe Pazzo sul mafioso
