D'Amico family


 * This is about the D'Amico family. For the crime family run by Fat Tony, please see Springfield mafia.

The D'Amico family includes (Fit) Fat Tony, his wife, his niece Tooshi -- his nephews, Stevie B "S Money", Stevie F "Jello Shot" and Vincent "The Occurrence" -- and Marion Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico's son, Michael D'Amico.

(Fit) Fat Tony runs the Springfield mob, with help from Louie, Legs, Johnny Tightlips and others. He owns a house "down the shore," on the beach, in which every light is a tanning light.

Michael D'Amico is Fat Tony's son, an only child. He is a student at Springfield Elementary, where he plays in the band. He says he's not like his dad. He has a passion for cooking. He has a gift. In The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer, Johnny Tightlips advises him to take his dad's place, when Fat Tony is hospitalized, but he doesn't.

He does invite the Calabresi crime family -- Fat Tony's arch enemies -- to dinner, however. He makes the dinner. One of the ingredients of the meatballs is poison. The Calabreses die. Tooshi is Fat Tony's very tanned niece. She's got two semesters in contemporary Italian-American design, under her belt, from Sandy Hook Vocational Institute. (She's a parody of Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.)

Fit Fat Tony's wife is a licensed real estate broker. She wears a huge diamond ring, and speaks some Italian -- at least some dirty words.

History
Anna Maria D'Amico, formerly Anna Maria Hernandez, was Fat Tony's wife -- but she was "whacked by natural causes." Fat Tony used to bring flowers to her grave every Sunday, before he died. The Springfield mafia was originally run by Marion Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico, and was involved in illegal gambling, cigarette smuggling, bootlegging, fraud and selling false IDs.

Fat Tony hired Bart Simpson, for a little while, as a bartender for the Legitimate Businessman's Social Club (where the Springfield mafia conducts business and socializes).

Krusty the Clown owed the mob money, but when Fat Tony demanded he pay, Krusty said he didn't have the money. Fat Tony ordered his henchmen to kill Krusty, but he escaped. Tony's mafia took Krusty's clown college. The mob recaptured 'Krusty', not realizing it was Homer, made up to look like Krusty. Don Vittorio DiMaggio -- who Fat Tony deferred to -- said he'd let Homer and Krusty live if they did a trick together, and they did.

Homer asked Fat Tony for a favor once -- but when Homer refused to return the favor, Fat Tony demanded money from Marge, and then went to their home to collect it.

Fat Tony got the school milk concession, by bribing Mayor Quimby, but Homer discovered it was rats milk. He made the mayor get the milk out of the schools, so Fat Tony beat the mayor with a baseball bat.

Krusty the Clown once lost his daughter's violin to Fat Tony, in a poker game -- but Krusty sneaked into Fat Tony's place, during a mob summit, and stole it back.

Fat Tony, Louie and Legs were gluing cotton balls on ferrets and selling them to a pet shop, passing them off as toy poodles. However, a private police force Homer Simpson started busted the mobsters, so the gangsters went to the Simpsons house to gun down Homer -- but Maggie shoots them all.

Fat Tony is very touchy about anybody touching his car, but Bart stole his hood ornament anyway.

Fat Tony directs Louie, Legs and Johnny Tightlips to take out the Castellaneta family. The four of them meet the Castellanetas at Luigi's, they all draw their guns, and a standoff ensues.

Even in jail, Fat Tony calls the shots. When Homer is sent to jail, and becomes a snitch, Fat Tony has Snake tell Homer there's going to be a breakout. He snitches, all the guards go outside, waiting for them, leaving Homer alone with the inmates that want to kill him.

Fat Tony died in Donnie Fatso.
