Sofia "Nana Sophie" Mussolini is the mother of Luann Van Houten, the mother-in-law of Kirk Van Houten, and the maternal grandmother of Milhouse Van Houten.

History

She is from Italy and hates the English language, because an American WWII soldier left her pregnant with Milhouse's half-uncle Bastardo. She used to hit Milhouse whenever he spoke English instead of Italian, calling him an "idiota" (which is Italian and Spanish for "idiot", "moron" and "fool").

Appearances

• Episode – "The Last of the Red Hat Mamas" (flashback)
• Episode – "Treehouse of Horror XXIX"
• Video game – The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Trivia

• In the Italian dub, Sofia lives in Tuscany but she is from Sicily. In fact, she whips Milhouse because he speaks in Italian rather than Sicilian dialect.
• Sophie shares her surname with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
