Ha capitosto My mom is Nappoletane
my dad Irish-German —that’s a pretty
capitosto combo as well.
I bet you never said to your dad “Well, let me tell you something, Mr kraut mick friend!”
Ha. My mothers father was born in Salerno (napolitano). Married my Irish/Scott/English grandmother. My dad’s father was napolitano/ his mom Calabrese. We inhabited the Bronx till I was 15 in ‘65. Went from the whole city mentality to AMERICA in short order. What I didn’t know about what this country was about, because of living in Tameny Hall run New York City could have filled a library.
Good to reminisce about the good things as a kid in a NYC italian neighborhood. But glad to be out.
