Who is Carmela Soprano in The Sopranos?
The boss's wife · Soprano Household
Carmela Soprano (The boss's wife) is a character in The Sopranos, part of Soprano Household. Carmela Soprano keeps the house Tony's money built: school runs, ziti for the priest, jewelry she doesn't ask the provenance of.

She loves Tony, polices his lies selectively, and defends her children with a ferocity that surprises people who mistake her for decorative.
