In "The Sopranos," Silvio is a childhood friend of Tony's and only about three years older than Tony. In this movie, Silvio is shown as a balding man about 15 years older than Tony.

Silvio Dante, a character from "The Sopranos," is portrayed as roughly the same age as Tony Soprano in the TV series. However, "The Many Saints of Newark" presents him as being older than Tony and of the same generation as Paulie.
