buccafm Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 OMG i am dying here! I'm sooo 100% Italian it's not even funny, that all of those things are totally true! How about you know your Italian if your mom doesn't speak English (my mom); you know all the owners of teh Italian restaurants in your area and you get the special treatment when you go there, You HAVE to take family vacation together, annual ritual of wine making in the fall, sausage/salami/cappicola/prosciutto making in the winter, and tomato sauce making in the summer (right now as we speak )! God I could go on! And zepoli, dude they're the best dipped in honey, and rice balls, shit my mom makes the best riceballs, and MORTADELLA SANGWHICHES ARE THE BOMB!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

cathyo Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I was adopted into an Italian family so I don't look it but being raised by them makes me an honorary Italian. One of my favorite things is when I'm going through the town I grew up in my Father points to every Italian on the street and can tell me how I'm related to them. "That's your Grandfather's cousin's nephew" Apparently I'm related to anyone who's last name ends in a vowel.------------------A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to it's old dimensions.

entrepreneur Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 i've been to italy and it is one beautiful country and the people are VERY friendly and charming. i think you guys should use the term 'italian-american' rather than italians to desrcibe italian americans in america because comparing they are two different existences.
