paulie
"nucci" is introduced as [[paulie gualtieri]]'s elderly mother who is very nervous and protective of her son. when paulie was younger, nucci was always there to bail him out of jail and to defend him from the neighbors and the store owners on 13th street in [[roseville, newark]]. [[carmine lupertazzi sr.]] recalls that paulie's presumed adopted father gennaro was run over by a [[newark light rail]] [[tram|trolley]] and presumably killed, leaving marianucci a [[widow]]. her son is a doctor who worked for a period of time over in italy and a daughter named rose, who were her biological children. paulie took her to the theatre often, including to see "[[man of la mancha]]" in 1965 and "[[the producers (musical)|the producers]]" in 2002. during the man of la mancha performance, paulie would tell minn matrone and cookie cirillo that the broadway actor and singer [[richard kiley]] stared at marianucci the whole time on stage while he was singing the musical number "[[the impossible dream (the quest)|the impossible dream]]". ralph cifaretto played a mean trick on marianucci, pretending paulie had been arrested in [[beaver falls, new york]] for [[zoophilia|bestiality]] and lewd homosexual behavior in a public washroom in [[lafayette park historic district]] with a [[cub scouting (boy scouts of america)|cub scout]]. following the prank phone call she suffered from [[irritable bowel syndrome]] and had to be put on [[xanax]] and kept in the [[intensive care unit]] at green grove in just to be able to go back to sleep. paulie suspects that it is ralphie and threatens to murder him over it. she is not a good poker player but enjoys playing bingo and [[keno]]. after tony had placed his own mother in the green grove nursing home, paulie first looked at placing her in a brother [[joseph (genesis)]] home but after discovering it stank of urine, he followed tony's lead and found nucci a spot at the retirement home in [[verona, new jersey]] and she soon moved in. unlike tony's mother though, nucci was grateful for paulie for doing this for her. however, her old friends, cookie cirillo and minn matrone were far from friendly and tried to exclude her from social activities. to avenge his mother's honor, paulie sent [[benny fazio|benny]] and her grandson [[little paulie germani|little paulie]] to badly beat cookie's son, after which the two were forced to include her. paulie later murdered minn matrone for her money. nucci played an active role in getting paulie to help sal vitro reclaim his landscaping business when [[feech la manna]]'s nephew stole all of his customers.
