Buongiorno!

I've been to Italy once, we stayed at a small fisherman slash vacation village south of Taranto. I was impressed by Italian siesta - everything closes at 12-1 pm, and they open up again at 3... or don't.

Anyway, the food was great, people were friendly, what else to wish for!

Welcome!

If only there was a special place where new members could introduce themselves . . .

Welcome!
Ive never been to Italy, but have an urge to visit. I recently found out I am 52% Italian after doing one of those Ancestry DNA tests. My sister bought the tests for herself, my brother and me....we were all adopted.
I postponed the test for over a year, but eventually gave in.
Anyways, the test says my ancestors "most likely" came from Sicily. Im not sure all Italians consider Sicily part of Italy, but I may be wrong. My information comes from the internet.

There seems to be a small but vocal group of Italians who dont much like Sicilians. I believe its a culture thing that was much more "popular" in decades past. Again, this is from stuff I read while researching Sicily after I found out my ancestors MAY be from Sicily.....or Southern Italy. The DNA people aren't 100% sure.
Either way, ive forced everyone to call me Don Sig now!
And I say "Fuhgeddaboudit" a lot now for some reason.
