I knew a man who was born in Italy. Came over here when he was 3. Mussolini/Italy had a warrant out for his arrest as a draft dodger up until the 60’s.
Wow. That’s an unusual story. I would not be thrilled to be tried in Italy for anything. It is a confusing and emotional court process. Unfortunately the emotions are shown by the prosecutors and defense too often. And you are right about the Blasio. He took his mother’s last name in a cynical ploy to get Italian American votes and it didn’t work.
And but he won by an incredible margin which embarrasses the hell out of me but I don’t really consider Staten Island part of New York. The problems the other boroughs have we do not. Except for taxes of course!
Thank goodness property taxes are relatively low considering the Northeast.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to torture you with my rambling :-)
