Let's erect a statue of Pavoratti in every place we tear down one of Columbus. As a person of Italian heritage, as well as a person with a conscience, I'd prefer to be represented by the greatest tenor of all time rather than one of the world's foremost genocidal maniacs, but I'm funny that way!
So the guy claiming to be on the board of a probably defunct organization created by the mob proudly proclaims his Italian-American pride by displaying his complete ignorance of Italian music, culture, and history.
BTW, Crispi can go perform an unnatural act on himself with his alleged Italian-American status. I say this as someone whose dad was born in Italy and who also knows a lot more about my heritage that this f***wit does.
Somebody tell Crispi to go after that scene in Saturday Night Fever, where Tony and his family all slap each other's heads at the dinner table. Not politically correct today, but it was a funny scene
Of course a right wing, easily offended snowflake like Crispi would not even contemplate that whole indigenous peoples genocide thing, because he's too busy being a whiny snowflake
That's how it looks to me, as someone who lives in an area with a large number of Italian-Americans, but isn't one myself. Such freakouts over calling that Monday in October Indigenous People's Day. I'm steering clear of that one myself.
Columbus didn't go out to sea for the Italian nation. In actuality he was the ONLY Italian on board those ships. Maybe he was just trying to get as far away from Italy as he could?
Italy didn't exist back then. He was from Genoa and identified as Genoan. It might not seem t matter much but it actually does: the Italian government only offers conditional citizenship to Americans whose family members came to the U.S after Italian unification, not before.

When the movie first ran on TV, they aired disclaimers after every commercial break saying it was about violent criminals and of course not all Italians etc.
I was so excited about Tim Walz until I learned he’s anti-genocide and likes cats. Obviously now I’m voting for the couch humper and the guy who almost died in a pretend helicopter crash.

Sounds like a good match for Trumpism, anyway.

Ta, Robyn. I never heard of Crispi before. He should get creamed.
I live in a city in Canada with a very large Italian population. None of them ever talk about Christopher Columbus.
It seems like a weird Italian American thing

Obviously.
But it goes without saying that if you gotta almost die, do it pretend
Wow. I learned a lot about Italian American culture in the past five minutes!
That's honestly all it really requires
AND Nessun Dorma means no one sleeps thus they are Woke.
Have we thanked the Internet enough for giving all of us the microphone ?
This cazo...
I was convinced this non-story about a nobody was worth skipping but that last line makes it the best thing ever published on the internet
Goddamn, no matter how many times I hear Pavarotti sing the same things over and over, it never fails to give me chills.
Another pezzonovante.
