The sopranos is a fictional dramatized soap opera though, made for a primarily American audience who are already vaguely aware of the "clash" between Italian Americans and Italians. My "greek" side of my (american) family goes to Greece 2x a year for weeks, speaks greek at home, primarily eat a mediteranean diet etc. When I think of them, I think of "my greek family", and it certainly isn't some vanity thing.
