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.[1] 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").[2]
Appearances[]

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.
