I think they killed Furio's story line when they wrote him off the show. As I understand it, the actor was leaking spoilers and they found out. The boss David Chase whacked people quick for that.

I think that Furio characters was useless after the naples episodes and Chase only deleted him without killing him on the screen.

The relations with the Neapoluans were ruined because of Furio, I remember that a man appears with the tail in a church in the episode in Paris, Carmela is he going to tell Tony?
Also I noticed that when Tony has to kill Phil Leotardo, it is not him who calls Annalisa but Silvio, I do not understand the reason since the boss is Tony and to kill another Mafia was him to talk to Annalisa, maybe Tony thinks that Annalisa protects Furio?

For sure Annalisa protect Furio and she doesn't want that Furio go to nj.Furio was the link to the camorra and Tony if wanted to kill a ny boss and survive for sure dont wanted to talked directly to another boss of a hit but use some degree of separation.

The guy who played Furio Giunta was dating Gottis daughter. She was a writer or should I say "writer" and he leaked Soprano info to her. He was then written out.

furio is here you can ask him
well all jokes aside
now i think the writers just left things open for our imagination
like the end like the russian and more and what ever happened to furio left open for us to decide in our own view...

Furio was one of her best soldiers. Tony had no real influence to have him killed over there and for what? Fantasizing about banging his old lady? It's not like Italy is a short drive away from NJ, she could tell Tony that she'd take care of Furio for him, they're looking for him and he's a dead man and all that how would Tony ever know? He may as well be on a different planet. Furio wasn't expendable for the sake of the stolen car business they had going and he had more connections with that family....it would appear both his father and uncle were up there in rank. Tony telling Carmela people were looking for him over there was posturing on Tony's part.

The actor who plays Furio is a very accomplished painter btw. I am an artist myself and I was very impressed at his "master" level of painting skills. He painted a portrait of both Tony and Carm as royalty for some magazine while he was still appearing on the show, very, very talented guy. He's making some $$$$ off his paintings, and not because of the novelty factor of him appearing on the show.

I always thought that pony tail looked like a pecker hanging from his head
