Five children is good. My mom had a friend that was 1st generation from Italy and she taught me how to cook. Nothing better!
Other than being great cooks, many of us could sing.. However, I have been reminded that the Latin Lover monicker may be a bit overrated, we do produce beautiful kids..
Not to be outdone on the thread, I have several famous opera impresarios and more than a few artists as forebears.. But the most infamous member of my ancestry is an Italian officer that was unceremoniously beheaded for an improper relationship with a Countess, on her Roman balcony, in the 1600’s..
I’ve tried to live up to my heritage, but alas, not even close.. :)
