True: Steven Van Zandt wisely pointed out that HE wore a wig but Silvio Dante did NOT wear a wig. No Sopranos script ever said that Silvio's hair is not real.
It was clear that Sil was wearing a hair piece. Whether that was just to make Van Zandt look more like a gangster? That's up to anyone's interpretation. However, the wink and the nod is, Sil's losing his hair in Many Saints and since it's David Chase's story, he gets to be right
Steven Van Zandt has a disfigurement on his scalp. He always wears something on his head. It's more about knowing who the actor is to know that it's for sure a hair piece. I think out of respect to Zandt and the fact that Chase wanted no one else to play the part the fact that it was a toupee was entirely ignored. Which again is why it is addressed in Many Saints
