 Francesca Cacace was no longer of Jewish heritage, but hailing from a Roman Catholic family, having become a lapsed Catholic ("The Kibbutz" is, in fact, a pretty unclear episode in the Italian version).Almost every reference to Jewish religion was altered accordingly in the show.In the Italian adaptation, Francesca's parents live in Italy and the only relatives emigrated in America with her are her two aunts, Yetta and Assunta, and her uncle, Assunta's husband Antonio, whose face is never seen (we can hear him having few shouted lines or see his wig from above).
