Michael Imperioli, Steve Schirripa Launch Sanpellegrino Sparkling Water Line

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa, known for their roles in 'The Sopranos', continue to be recognized for their iconic characters even years after the show ended. They have recently collaborated on an ad campaign for Sanpellegrino CIAO!, where they humorously address the public's perception of them as mobsters. Imperioli noted that younger audiences also recognize him from 'The White Lotus', showcasing his diverse appeal. Both actors express surprise at the enduring relevance of 'The Sopranos', which aired from 1999 to 2007, and reflect on their pride in the show's quality. While promoting the product, they acknowledge how their past roles often overshadow their current work, with fans associating them more with their characters than their real selves. They maintain a close friendship, which is evident in their professional collaborations, including a podcast and this new advertising project.
