  BOSTON — The Massachusetts man who as a 12-year-old boy appeared in an
  iconic television commercial for Prince spaghetti running through the
  streets of Boston’s Italian North End has died.

  The death of Anthony Martignetti was [59]announced on Facebook by his
  brother Andy. He was 63.

  “It is with a heavy and hurting heart that we announce to our family
  and friends that our brother Anthony J. Martignetti passed away
  suddenly in his sleep last night,” Andy Martignetti wrote. “None of us
  have accepted this yet and I don’t know when we will. RIP little
  brother, till we meet again, I love you.”

  The [60]1969 commercial featured a woman — not Martignetti’s real
  mother — leaning out a tenement window and shouting “Anthony! Anthony!”

  The commercial that ran nationally for 13 years cut to the young boy,
  who had moved to the US from Italy just three years prior, sprinting
  through the city streets, until he burst panting through the front
  door.

  “I always understood that it was larger than me, that I had a
  responsibility to preserve what that commercial meant to people,”
  Martignetti [62]told The Boston Globe last year. “I knew that if I got
  into trouble, little Anthony from the spaghetti commercial would be all
  over the paper.”

  Martignetti later worked as a court officer in Dedham and lived in
  Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood.

  He is survived by his parents, wife, son, two brothers and a sister.

  A wake took place Thursday with a funeral Mass and burial scheduled for
  Friday.
