My Italian side

My wife says ltalians are Mexicans with class. Think Tequila vs a Super Tuscan wine.

 

Just back from Sicily, I quickly learned not to refer to them as Italians

 

They do get testy, especially in the mountains and the sulphur towns!!!! Lercara Friddi was my great granddads home town prior to New York!


Forza Ferrari..... the only racing team and car marque that matters. Italia forever It’s easier to apologise than it is to ask permission

 

We go to Italy once or twice every year and have never been to Sicily nor Sardinia.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

(They are on my list.)

 

You said it! My grandmother was from Racalmuto. Funny enough, although she was proud of her Sicilian heritage, she forbid any of her kids to learn Italian. She said she wanted them to assimilate into America. I suspect she didn't want us to know she was cursing in Italian! [emoji2]
