James Gandolfini -- who famously played Tony Soprano on "The Sopranos" -- reportedly died earlier today in Italy ... TMZ has learned.
Gandolfini is believed to have suffered a heart attack, this according to Deadline.com. He was 51.
Gandolfini was in Italy to attend the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily -- and he was scheduled to participate in a festival event this weekend with Italian director Gabriele Muccino.
Gandolfini shot to fame playing a hitman in the 1993 hit "True Romance" ... and quickly became a Hollywood legend when he was cast as Tony Soprano in 1999.
He won 3 Emmy awards for the role during the show's 6 season run.

Superb character actor. Judging from his age, it sounds like the so-
called Widowmaker has struck again. He is a lock for the Emmy
memorial tribute, and may also make the Oscar memorial reel. RIP.

work. That being said, I felt he might have been typecast from
playing that character for that long; it seemed he should have gotten
a shot at a lead role in an action film or a drama after the success
of the Sopranos.

carrying a spare tire around his waist. Brando put on weight as he
aged and still got roles; I'm not saying Gandolfini had the talent of
Brando, but I think Gandolfini could have made it as an unconventional
leading man based on his talent. With the success of the Sopranos, I
think he should have at least gotten a shot at being a movie star.
