Anybody knows what's Sonny Franzese's real first name? He is listed as John, but If he was born in Italy, it's unlikely he would have been given an English name. Could it be Giovanni maybe (just a guess)?
Giovanni and John are just versions of the same name.
Sonny Franzese was born Giovanni Francese, in his mother, Maria Romano’s hometown of Saviano (just north of Naples in the Nola district of the old Terra di Lavoro province of Campania; Saviano is next to Scisciano, where the Ebolis were from, and Marigliano, Ritchie Boiardo’s hometown). His father was, of course, Carmine Salvatore “The Lion” Francese, a presumed Camorrista from the neighboring commune of Palma Campania
