It's an Italian kinda weekend

Italian happenings seem to be everywhere this weekend. Italianfest is back in Newport. It's your typical area festival, complete with food (Italian this time!), beer and tunes. (Newport Mayor Tom Guidugli competed in a bocce ball tournament Wednesday night at Pompilio's in Newport to kick off Italianfest.)

On TV, "The Sopranos" celebrates its swansong Sunday at 10 p.m. We'll be at a graduation party, but you can bet we'll be tuned in to HBO for the finale. Take our poll on who gets whacked. Or read Chuck's take on where to eat like Tony Soprano. Even if you've never seen the show, it's a fun look into some of the area's more traditional Italian spots.
