Characters
Several people in Springfield and/or whom the Simpsons know are from Italy, including Sideshow Bob's wife and son (Francesca Terwilliger and Gino Terwilliger), Giuseppe Granfinali, Enrico Irritazio and Don Vittorio DiMaggio (who once referred to himself as an "old Italian stereotype".[2]) In addition, a number of Springfielders have stereotypical Italian accents, such as Moe Syzlak, Luigi Risotto and Fat Tony.
