Como Esta?
I'm Italian. My great-grandparents immigrated from Potenza, Italy in 1913. They had an arranged marriage. My grampa lives out in Colorado now, and he chills with the Italian mafioso guys out there. Most of my Italian relatives live in New York. And yes--the answer the question I am always asked--I do have family in the mafia, but I think they are cousins or something. I know at gramma's funeral there were some shady figures in trenchcoats, but they were there out of respect, along with many other Italian people. I love being Italian, and someday, within the next few years, I plan on making a trip out the homeland to see if I can turn up any distant relations out in Potenza.
