Anti-Italianism is Alive & Well

February 25, 2021 / myitalianita / Leave a comment

1891 Lynching of Italian Americans I was called a Guinea this week. I never had that happen before. I was also told that when the Nazis marched into Italy Hitler told them to not defecate (that was not the word he used) in the streets because he wanted to starve the Italians. That one was … Continue reading Anti-Italianism is Alive & Well

Is Fettuccini Alfredo a Traditional Italian Dish?

However, I do have something to say as I reflect on this time of year and its relation to my cultural heritage, … Continue reading Being Italian American During a Covid Christmas

Columbus & the Historians

October 12, 2020October 11, 2020 / myitalianita / Leave a comment

When I was a kid Columbus Day was a special holiday. OK, it wasn’t Christmas or Easter, but it was better than Arbor Day, with all due respect to that holiday. I didn’t think of it back then, but it was an acknowledgment of the contribution Italians made – and continue to make – to … Continue reading Columbus & the Historians

On this date in 1848 was the signing of the Albertine Statute. This is an important event in the history of Italy in that it later became the constitution of the Unified Italy. While it remained in place until 1948, although there were changes. Most of this constitution had been voided in 1925 by Benito Mussolini.
