Furio Giunta - Definition and Overview

Furio Giunta, played by Federico Castelluccio, was one of Tony Soprano's men on the fictional HBO TV series, The Sopranos.

Furio was born in Italy; the only one on Tony's crew who was. Tony bargained with Italian mob boss Zio Vittorio for Furio to come to New Jersey to work for him as part of an international car-theft operation. Furio then became one of Tony's enforcers.

Furio eventually began to fall in love with Tony's wife, Carmela, who also saw him as a dashing, respectful man - Tony's polar opposite - but the two never truly became romantically-entwined. For a time, however, there was significant tension between them. On the advice of Furio's uncle, and faced with the possibility of being killed by a vengeful Tony, Furio packed up, moved back to Italy and disappeared. Tony apparently still has men looking for him, but no-one has found him since.
