Italia Coppola
Italia Coppola (Italian: [iˈtaːlja ˈkɔppola]; née Pennino; December 12, 1912 – January 21, 2004) was the matriarch of the Coppola family. She appeared in three non-speaking roles in her son Francis Ford Coppola's films, One from the Heart, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Part III. She was known for her Italian cooking and published a cookbook called Mama Coppola's Pasta Book in 2000. Francis Ford Coppola named his 1998 Edizione Pennino zinfandel after her family's name and Italian heritage, and her nickname "Mammarella" is the name of her pasta and sauce line made by him.
