"Madonna" is used like a curse/exasperation, or by the old italians mothers in the black dresses, a prayer to the virgin mary, you might also hear "maddonna mia", like "my mother" or "mother of god, help me".
More idioms you might hear:
"Shcadawl" = escarole (the leafy green vegetable)
"Oogats" = nothing, like in "what's he got? Oogats!" I haven't been able to find the source of this one.
"stoonad" = stupid
"stromboli" or "biscotti" or "goomad" = girlfriend, usually outside of marriage
Prediction: the last scene of the last episode will be T going out to get his paper as if nothing happened, despite the gruesome events of the season.
