Gaetano was born in Teora, Avellino, Campania, Italy, the son of Salvatore Caprio and Marie Nicola Capetta. Julia was born in New Jersey, to Italian parents, Amato/Matthew Miele and Rosa/Rose/Rosina Filipone/Fillipone, with roots in Lioni, Avellino.

According to a DNA test taken on The Howard Stern Show in 2003, Artie has 25% Native American ancestry. Such DNA tests at the time were often mistaken, for example, Larry David’s DNA test on Lopez Tonight.

    If he is in fact 25% indigenous, parts of his family must go back a ways in the USA. Must be his father’s side:

    “His family identified themselves as Italian-Americans, despite having German ancestry on his father’s side. During a segment of The Howard Stern Show, Lange provided a blood sample which was taken to a laboratory for DNA testing. The results indicated that Lange was 25 percent American Indian. Lange said that his father’s background was a “gray area.” “
