What could Furio possibly have seen in Carmela?

I get her crush. She wanted to get her hands on that authentic Italian canoli of his, but his crush on Carmela? Why?

Not that Carmela's not a dish, but their conversations were so dull and surface level and they have nothing in common. Did he think he'd lay in bed with her telling stories of Italy, oh and of beating up women and doing lines with Chris and Ade? Like seriously, what would they even talk about?

Carmela was just looking to cheat (the priest, the wallpaper guy, hell, there was obvious tension when her tennis instructor mentioned he had a wife), but Furio ran away from his whole crew and risked getting whacked...for Carmela? I don't buy it.
