That number might stun fans considering de Matteo is an Emmy-winning actress and a veteran of “The Sopranos,” one of the most acclaimed and popular TV series of all time. “The reason we know anything about Edmonia,” Banfield said, is the work of Massachusetts-based art historian Marilyn Richardson, who found “The Death of Cleopatra” languishing in an Illinois shopping mall storeroom in 1988 under a coat of latex house paint. Much of the libretto is informed by Richardson’s work, and the first part of Act II takes place in Boston, where Lewis lived and worked for two years before departing for Europe. House arrest is a sentence issued by a judge as an alternative to prison time and helps keep track of convicted criminals after or as an alternative to, a prison sentence. The sentence states that the person cannot leave their main domicile and can only be released for important family functions, medical appointments, or funerals.

Eventually, some of the interiors — including Tony’s house and the backroom of the Bada Bing — were built out in sets in Queens, New York. Built in 1987, The Sopranos house is a 4-bedroom, 4-and-a-half-bathroom residence in the NJ borough of North Caldwell. The 5,600 square foot home was not only featured in the opening to every episode of the Sopranos, it was also used for all exterior shots of Tony’s home. The house sits on a 1.5-acre lot and has four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a detached, one-bedroom guest house.

It’s set in North Caldwell, New Jersey and has long been owned by the Recchia family. These dinners are a lot more uptight and formal, as the Sopranos always have over friends or family for dinner. Putting various strong Italian characters in the same room means that these family dinners almost always end up in a fight. The first episode is also when we get to see the backyard in all its splendor, with a gorgeous swimming pool nestled among tall lush trees that offer privacy and seclusion. The end of the driveway has reached cult status for the show’s fans, who come here to take pictures of themselves in a robe, picking up the paper like Tony.

She is now the widow – and the mother – of a police detective. At first, Junior evades her, embarrassed by his illnesses and house arrest. Eventually, he phones her, and in his home she affectionately looks after him.

Meadow also does some confessing of her own, revealing that she and her friends have tried speed. Tony predictably erupts, never mind that some of his business involves selling drugs. You don’t have to be part of a mob family to recognize those dynamics. All year we’ll be marking the 25th anniversary of pop culture milestones that remade the world as we knew it then and created the world we live in now. What followed was a horrific yet often hilarious showcase of working-parent multitasking as Tony attempted to help his daughter sort out her future while, without her knowing, ending the informant’s.

Alongside the pool and patio, the event’s organizers had set up tents housing an open bar and an antipasto spread that included fresh mozzarella and Tony’s favorite gabagool (a.k.a. capicola). After a brief welcoming period, the real fun began when stars of the beloved HBO series began showing up and mingling with guests. On the anniversary of the show’s premiere, its creator and location manager reflect on some of its iconic settings and why they were chosen. The North Caldwell abode looks exactly like what you’d expect the fictional mobster to call home.

Tony Soprano's Iconic New Jersey House Lists For $3.4 Million

One fan, 28-year-old Anna Balanovich, decided to make the two-hour drive from Old Forge, Pennsylvania to see the house and take photos in her Tony Soprano Halloween costume, which consisted of a white robe and a carton of orange juice. Fans were given the unique opportunity with VirtualCons‘ event An Evening at Tony’s, which took place on Saturday, May 29, 2021, in Caldwell, New Jersey. Both virtually and in person, fans were invited to spend an evening at The Sopranos’ house at 14 Aspen Drive (where it is inhabited by private owners). Here’s a look back at some of the show’s iconic Jersey locations, why they were chosen and what’s there today.

The air-conditioners are first shown in the pilot, when Meadow climbs on top of one in attempt to get back into the house after sneaking out. They are prominently shown in season three when the FBI finds out that Tony uses them to drown out business discussions in the basement, and turns them on to determine where to place a bug. “The cast and crew were always thoughtful and respectful of our home, helping us create such wonderful memories,” says Victor. "Among them, filming an actual bear in our backyard. His name was Bonkers and he had a trainer next to him." Bonkers isn't the best name for a bear though, especially if you're acting with it.

Filming locations for "Luxury Lounge"

Later, interior scenes were shot in Queens, New York at Silver Cup Studios (the same sound stage as HBO’s Sex & The City), which constructed replica interiors of the Recchia home. “Throughout the years of filming, the cast and crew were always thoughtful of us and respectful of our home, helping us create such wonderful memories,” owner Victor Recchia, who built the house in 1987, told TODAY Home in a statement. Set alongside Carmela’s confession to the young priest that she believes her husband has committed “horrible acts,” Tony’s throttling of the informant is appropriately brutal and drawn out, stripping away any pretense that Tony is somehow a kinder, gentler mobster. Previously, audiences had seen him make threats, throw punches and even break a guy’s leg, but in comparison to some of the other characters, including his own mother, Tony seemed more humane.

Featured throughout the series, this is the watering hole where Tony would have backroom sit-downs with high-ranking member Johnny Sack (Vincent Curatola, 68) and boss Carmine Lupertazzi (Tony Lip) to hash out business at hand. Keeping in line with his vision of authenticity for the show, many locations from the original “Sopranos” are still existing places in both New York and New Jersey. The front doors to the Soprano house on the set at Silvercup Studios. Ultimately, the Recchias will bank big coin and priceless memories—via their ties to one of America’s iconic TV shows.

"House Arrest" is the 24th episode of the HBO original series The Sopranos and the 11th of the show's second season. It was written by Terence Winter and directed by Tim Van Patten, and originally aired on March 26, 2000. As chef Joshua Weissman welcomes AD into his Austin home in the latest episode of Open Door, he jokes that he doesn’t actually live in a kitchen. Mary McNamara is a culture columnist and critic for the Los Angeles Times. Previously she was assistant managing editor for arts and entertainment following a 12-year stint as television critic and senior culture editor. A Pulitzer Prize winner in 2015 and finalist for criticism in 2013 and 2014, she has won various awards for criticism and feature writing.

Julie Pennell is a regular contributor to TODAY.com and author of the novels “The Young Wives Club” and “Louisiana Lucky.” She currently lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two young sons. One of the biggest draws of the 5,600-square-foot place is its television claim to fame.

Holsten’s Ice Cream, Chocolate & Restaurant is most notably remembered as the site of the final scenes for The Sopranos series finale. Unlike most of the other locations used for filming, this beloved mom and pop ice cream shop is actually featured with its real name. According to the owners, the cast and crew were quite fond of the house, and Gandolfini greatly enjoyed filming his poolside scenes. The real life Sopranos house is actually owned by Victor and Patti Recchia, who have lived in the 5,600-square-foot residence for 32 years. Victor, owner of Fourth Generation Construction, built the elevated estate and several other homes in the neighborhood. Restauranteur and chef Artie Bucco’s eatery, Nuovo Vesuvio, in reality is a Long Island restaurant called Brousko Restaurant.

His anxiety attacks, prompted by the flight of a family of ducks he had nurtured from his swimming pool, appeared to offer evidence that at some level he was not comfortable with the butchery his job required. The owners have actually tried to sell the house in recent years, giving us, laypeople, the option to live in Tony Soprano’s mansion. They listed the property for sale back in June, 2019 — asking $3.4 million for the iconic TV home. But it’s another ‘main character’ that stole our hearts — and one that remained a fan favorite throughout the show, despite its lack of lines — namely the house Tony Soprano live in with his family. And today, we’re zeroing in on the actual house that played the part throughout the show’s six-year run. The house is shown to have five-zone central air-conditioning, consisting of four Carrier air-conditioners for the main house and a fifth for the guesthouse/home theater.

Junior is also able to leave his residence when he needs to visit a supermarket. One of Junior's drivers continues selling cocaine; Junior says he needs the income for legal and medical expenses. At the hospital, he is recognized by Catherine Romano, who was a classmate of his younger brother Johnny.
