Ehh not so much Adam and Eve. Look at what ht2 said. I was somewhat referring to that. And "The guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians. He was an interior decorator".

It's also no secret that italians pobably have some sort of African or norman blood in us. Especially southern Italians. I know that I'm not 100% italian because of my dark skin. There has to be some African in my family.

He's gone back to his roots as well; adopted by some gypsies, I hear.

Man. That sucks. He really knew his stuff. Hopefully he makes a new email and gets back in. I think he was a valuable asset to this website. He was full of information.

Honesly. No disrespect to anyone here, but I think he was probably the most knowledgable person here. One thing we had in common was that we were both republicans. That's beside the fact though.

There was never any doubt that Tina was his mom,but he grew up believing that her 1st husband (Grillo) was his biological dad,even though he considered Sonny his dad because he was raised by him.Now it turns out that Sonny actually did sire him,sort of similar to the Scarpa/Schiro situation.

So Michael is adopted?

I always thought he never looked anything like Sonny.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

People know how to read. It's the comprehension part that so many have trouble with.

How many people from Italy are ethnic Albanians or Greeks and don't even know it. Italy and Sicily have been invaded so many times, who knows what anyone is anymore. All we can say is that Asians and blacks aren't Italian.

Yes, but the "Africans" in question were "North Africans" not Sub-Saharan Africans. The Mediterranean was easily navigable, and it promoted conquests and exchanges among peoples. The Sahara, by contrast, was a barrier to such movements

I've heard that said before. The truth is, it doesn't matter. The Arabs themselves are partly "African" at least genetically. So it's there either way.

Michael franzese is sonny real son
Not adopted but real
He later found out after the book cause him and the father speak every week
Sonny is his real biological father


Did they do a DNA test on Sonny Franzese? If they didn't, I don't believe it.

Sonny's father was a killer, he's a killer, and his son John looks like a killer. Sonny and John Jr look like meat eaters. That's the only way I can describe it. They look like lions. Michael Franzese is something svelte, adept, and slippery. Completely different kind of man. He could be Sonny's. You can almost see it in the eyes if you look at a photo of Michael next to a young picture of Sonny. But other than that, I don't think so. The similarities between Sonny and Michael could be racially based and not familial. The similarities between John Jr and Michael could be maternal, not paternal.
