A background mob guy who doesn't say much
----
* Flat Character: Only has one line of dialogue, he just usually hangs around Chucky, and joining the fights the Sicilians get into, he is seen playing Basketball with Chucky and some latinos, but that's about it.
* Jerkass: Shoots Beecher a dirty look when he compliments his shirt, and the one time he does talk it's rude and condescending.
* The Quiet One: So much so that Carmen Guerra seems surprised the only time Mario talks.

* TheMafia: Subverted, he is part of a gang of Mafiosos in prison, and most likely has connections, but is very young and as stated before, implied to be a simple pizza boy. He may or may not be a member of the Family at all. Zhangi is certainly not a made man.
* MookLieutenant: Becomes this as the series progresses.
* NoodleIncident: It's never stated or shown why he's in Oz or the nature of his connections to the rest of the Italians.
!!Joey D'Angelo
->'''Played By:''' Goodfella Mike G
->''"I have a boss, he tells me what to do."''
Nino Schibetta's right-hand man and initial enforcer of the Italians.
* TheBrute: Though nowhere near as much of a brute as Chucky Pancamo or Jaz Hoyt
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Last seen recovering from his injuries in the hospital, and is never seen after that. No explanation is given to his disappearance, as he was a prominent member of the Italian gang, and Nino's other thugs, Zhangi and Mario Seggio DID return to Em City. Fanon assumes he's either transferred to another prison.
* TheDragon: Serves as this to Nino Schibetta in the first half of Season 1.
* EliteMook
* HotBlooded
* {{Joisey}}: Has a typical appearance of a young New Jersey guido gangster, right down to his North Jersey accent and manner of dress.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Deals it out and is a victim of one as well
* NoodleIncident: How he got into Oz is never explained, all we know is he's one of Nino Schibetta's most trusted men, and is either a low-ranking thug or a mid-level made man. It's never really clear.
* PutOnABus
!!Gaetano Cincetta
An unseen hitman on the outside often in contact with the Italians
* ChekhovsGunman: Inadvertently starts a war between the Italians and the Aryans after [[spoiler:killing Hank Schillinger.]]
* TheMafia
* TheUnseen
* TheUnfought
[[/folder]]
* AffablyEvil: Nino Schibetta, Antonio Nappa, and Frank Urbano.
* ArchEnemy: The Homeboys, and later on, the Aryans.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: A favorite tactic of the gang as a whole.
* TheMafia
* TheOldCountry: Nino Schibetta and Antonio Nappa are implied to be from Italy, the rest of the gang are first and second-generation Italian-Americans
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Subverted. Chucky Pancamo starts out as a more brute and muscular replacement to Joey D'Angelo in Season 1, as both are the gang's main enforcers and start out as TheDragon to the leader of the Italians. However, Pancamo goes through major character development and becomes an AscendedExtra, to the point of becoming a core character in the later seasons. D'Angelo is simply an EliteMook who is injured and PutOnABus shortly after.
!!Chucky Pancamo
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chucky_Pancamo_5380.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Chuck Zito
->''Prisoner #97P468. Convicted June 4, 1997 - Sentence: 35 years, eligible for parole in 15.''
The Italian muscle who slowly rises to become leader through circumstance.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Averted. He rises to power through sheer luck as opposed to any ambition or power playing.
* AscendedExtra: Went from being a heavy that followed Peter Schibetta around without saying much to a very prominant character.
* {{Badass}}: He's played by ''Chuck Zito''. The man was a bodyguard for Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone and Charles Bronson. That's a laundry list of badass people and Chuck was in charge of protecting them! He's also a former boxer and president of the Hell's Angels.
* TheBigGuy
* BoisterousBruiser
* TheBrute
* BrooklynRage
* TheDitz: Noticeably less intelligent than O'Reilly or Adebisi.
* TheDragon: Starts out as this to Peter Schibetta and Antonio Nappa.
* DragonAscendant: Becomes the leader of the Italians partway through Season 3 and keeps it until the end of the series. Also, one of the few gang leaders to survive the end of the show.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Seems genuinely sorry for Tobias when his son was murdered and angry that Hank Schillinger got off, even it only came out as a "That sucks!".
* FauxAffablyEvil
!!Antonio Nappa
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Antonio_Nappa_3740.jpg]]

* AffablyEvil
* {{Badass}}
** BadassGrandpa
* BaldOfAwesome
* BaldOfEvil
* CoolOldGuy
* TheDon
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Like most on OZ, he harbors quite homophobic views. Still, he manages to get along with his eventual cellmate, transvestite Nat Ginzberg.
* TheOldCountry: Along with Nino, he is implied to be from Italy proper, rather than a first or second-generation Italian-American like Ortolani or Pancamo. His name and accent certainly indicate it.
!!Peter Schibetta
->'''Played By:''' Eddie Malavarca
->''Prisoner #98S112. Convicted May 19, 1998 - Five counts of extortion: money laundering. Sentence: 35 years, eligible for parole in 20.''
->''"And so because I got one quick shot of poison instead of ground glass, I'm not as good as Pop, right?"''
The son of Nino, Peter is handed the Italian leadership but is unable to keep it.
* BigBadWannabe: Tries to be like his father but is eventually too inexperienced to pull it off and fails tragically.
* BreakTheHaughty
* ButtMonkey: With emphasis on the butt part.
* DontTellMama actually it's Don't tell Papa [[spoiler: after he is raped and hallucinates his father being alive he doesn't want him to know of the rape]]
* RevengeBeforeReason [[spoiler: eventually leads to his death]]
* RapeAsDrama
* WellDoneSonGuy
* PrideBeforeAFall
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex towards his father and the Family's expectations

A mob boss and initial leader of the Italians.
* AffablyEvil: He's quite polite and cultured most of the time.
* BadassLongRobe: Specifically a bathrobe. He wears a bathrobe in most of his scenes, and is certainly a badass character, given he's arguably the most powerful gang leader in Season 1 and one of the most effective leaders in the series.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He inflicts these, and is also a victim of it.
* TheDon
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes
* EvenEvilHasStandards
* TheOldCountry: Implied to be Italian-born, along with his close friend Antonio Nappa
* HonorBeforeReason: His refusal to give up information on his gang.

* WickedCultured
!!Dino Ortolani
->'''Played By:''' Jon Seda
->''Prisoner #96C382. Convicted December 12, 1996 - One count of murder in the first degree, assault with a deadly weapon. Sentence: Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.''
A hot-tempered and self-destructive Italian who becomes Beecher's sponsor.
* DeathSeeker
* DecoyProtagonist: Writer Tom Fontana had to argue for this, as it was unheard of to focus on one major character, only to kill him in the first episode.
* DespairEventHorizon.
* HairTriggerTemper
* HotBlooded
* KillItWithFire
* PapaWolf: Wouldn't allow his kids to see him in OZ.
* PosthumousCharacter

!!Don Zangi
->'''Played By:''' John Palumbo
One of the foot soldiers of the Italians, starts out as a silent Mook for Nino Schibetta, but becomes a prominent soldier and enforcer for the gang.
* AscendedExtra: Literally. Starts out as a background character hanging around with Nino Schibetta and doing nothing. Later becomes a mid-tier character and close friend of Chucky Pancamo.
* BurgerFool: He never has a crime flashback and is strongly implied to have been working at a pizza restaurant before ending up in Oz. If this is true, he may be the only member of the Italian gang who wasn't a member of the Mafia.
* CrypticBackgroundReference: His job on the outisde was a pizza delivery boy. It's mentioned several times, but never prominently brought up, only as a few quips in random conversation.
* EliteMook
* TheMafia: Subverted, he is part of a gang of Mafiosos in prison, and most likely has connections, but is very young and as stated before, implied to be a simple pizza boy. He may or may not be a member of the Family at all. Zhangi is certainly not a made man.
* MookLieutenant: Becomes this as the series progresses.
* NoodleIncident: It's never stated or shown why he's in Oz or the nature of his connections to the rest of the Italians.
