But you know us Italian boys :)

I've known a few, in fact you reminded me of my very first barber who cut my hair as a kid, he was an Italian by the name of 'Joe' he worked in an Italian owned and operated barber shop in suburban Maryland, my Dad and I used to go there once a week, and I recall one time they started talking about World War II (my Dad was a veteran as well) but after a few minutes my Dad and I realized that they weren't fighting for the allies, they were fighting for Mussolini!

But to their credit, they said the worst thing il Duce did was to get mixed up with Hitler, they had nothing but bad things to say about der Fuehrer, but they did confirm that Mussolini DID make the trains run on time, lol

lol. No love for Mussolini in my family.

Everybody that was of age fought for our side.

I love Sicily, and it Almost became a state.

But I’m American way first. I have a soft spot for the people there though :)

I asked this once before and forgot the answer. Did Italians ever fight Americans?
