Biography[]
Filomena from Castelleone, Sicily. She is married to Giacomo Ortolano, who works as a farmer. He disowned his son Lino Ortolano for his life choices, as he did not support Lino's decisions to leave the family farm to study, work as a chef and marry an American. He refuses to see Lino, even on his wedding day, which Filomena and their daughter, Biagia, disagree with.
Throughout From Scratch[]
Filomena was angry at her husband for forcing her and her daughter, Biagia, to miss Lino's wedding. One night, she denied her husband pasta sauce and contemplated putting a pebble into his food. She later confessed these sins at a church.
She and Biagia later secretly met with Lino and Amy.[1]
After learning about her son's cancer diagnosis, she and her husband Giacomo visited Lino and Amy's family in Los Angeles.[2]
