Glen Danzig aka Allen Anzalone is another worldwide known American-Italian rock singer. Previously Danzig was a leading vocal for the infamous band "The Misfits"...
Speaking about The Misfits, their famous guitar player is also another Italian-American who goes by the name Paul Caiafa aka Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein...
Both Misfits and Danzig solo are classic!
Here's my favorite Misfits track;
Another classic group from the heavier rock realm that's almost all Italian American (with the exception of rhythm guitar player Scott Ian, who's Jewish) is Anthrax;

Over the last decade, Italian wine companies have conquered new market spaces, particularly in North America and Asia: while the European Union remains the primary destination market for Italian exports (40% in 2022), the weight of the United States and Canada has increased over time (from 27% in 2012 to 29% in 2022), as has the weight of Asian markets (from 5% to 7%).
Parallel to this, there has been a redevelopment of exports, with a decrease in the weight of bulk wines (currently 19% in volume) in favour of sparkling and bottled wines, which account for 24% and 57% of Italian wine exports, respectively. This is revealed by the findings of the study “Italian wine around the world”.
Fifth Avenue,Statues - New York Public Library - Lions, Digital ID 1558545, New York Public LibraryThe Piccirilli Brothers were renowned carvers of many of the most significant marble sculptures in the United States, including Daniel Chester French’s colossal Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C.
In 1888 Giuseppe Piccirilli (1844-1910), a well-known stone carver, brought his family to New York from Massa, Italy. The entire family, father and six sons – Attilio, Feirrucio, Furio, Getulio (Giulio), Masaniello, and Orazio – were trained as marble cutters and carvers. They lived in a brownstone on 142nd Street in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx and set up a stone-carving atelier next to their home that would eventually occupy an entire city block.
In addition to carving the lions for The New York Public Library, the Piccirilli Brothers carved the six allegorical figures representing History, Romance, Religion, Poetry, Drama, and Philosophy that adorn the Library’s Fifth Avenue facade.
A selection of their other commissions in New York includes: The Four Continents by Daniel Chester French and 12 allegorical statues on the cornice of the U.S. Custom House at Bowling Green; the New York Stock Exchange pediment by J.Q.A. Ward; 30 large allegorical figures for the cornice of the Brooklyn Museum; the Maine Monument in Central Park and the Firemen’s Monument in Riverside Park, both sculpted by Attilio; and an innovative glass relief at Rockefeller Center, also by Attilio.
South Philadelphia's 9th Street Italian Market is America's oldest daily open-air Market and the epitome of eclectic culture and culinary heritage. It's a place where visitors and locals can explore a vast assortment of stores, including butcher shops, bakeries, fruit stands, and kitchen stores - it's an experience not to be missed!
One of Philadelphia's iconic attractions, the Italian Market stretches along approximately ten city blocks of Ninth Street in South Philadelphia. This sprawling outdoor curb market is famed for its vast selection of specialty foods and spices; local chefs frequently shop here early each morning to stock their restaurants; it is not unusual to see one or more chefs wearing white coats making their rounds through this bustling outdoor curb market.
According to tradition, Rome was founded in 753 BC. This Iron Age hamlet of shepherds became the capital of the Roman Empire, later of the Roman Catholic Church, and since 1870, the capital of modern Italy. No other city can claim to have been the “caput mundi” or head of the world, for so many centuries.
Rome holds another unusual world record; its home to more ancient Egyptian obelisks than anywhere else in the world including Egypt, which counts only a handful. In Rome today there are 13, although apparently there were 48 at the height of the Empire.
Spaghetti western is a nickname for western films made by Italians ( spaghetti is an Italian pasta). These films were popular with large audiences in the second half of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s.
The genre owes its name to the fact that these were produced by Italian studios. At first it was a pejorative term, caused by the perceived poor quality of some of these films. Although most spaghetti westerns were made quickly and cheaply and were not always original, there are still quality films. Since the 1980s, the spaghetti western has risen in popularity.
Many spaghetti westerns have become cult films .

Martin Scorsese, the iconic filmmaker, has given us cinematic masterpieces that delve into the heart of Italian American culture. His Italian heritage influences his storytelling, creating movies that resonate deeply with audiences and stand the test of time.
The famed "San Gennaro" feast day is when the Catholic saint from Benevento, Italy is honored. Did you know that it is considered a public holiday in Naples, Italy and many businesses and public offices are closed?
When its on, be sure to wish "Buon Onomastico" to anyone you know with the name "Gennaro"
Boston’s North End has remained a lively district for decades — especially with the car and foot traffic that seems to only rise in extremity as time passes. But at the crossroads between international culture and American history, this eclectic neighborhood provides visitors with a more immersive experience. And it starts with love at first bite: the cannoli.
This fried, tube-shaped pastry is filled with ricotta for a sweet ending to a traditional Italian dinner. However, situated under this innocent dessert is some friendly competition. Now here’s the famous question: Which bakery do I choose? Mike’s, Modern, or Bova’s? This cannoli dilemma has been heated since the 1950s and social media has launched this conundrum from local fame to national frenzy.
There was a flag-raising ceremony in the City of Utica in honor of Italian American Heritage Month. Every October, Italian American Heritage Month is celebrated. According to the Census's website, “Although Italy as a unified nation did not exist until 1861, the Italian peninsula has sent millions of its people to the shores of North America. These new arrivals thought of themselves as Neopolitans, Sicilians, Calabrians or Syracuseans. They might not have understood each other’s dialects, but on arrival in the United States, they became Italian Americans. By the turn of the 20th century, they would be ready to change the continent once more.” This is the second flag raising by members of the Italian Heritage Club of the Mohawk Valley, which took place during the morning of Oct. 2 at Utica City Hall.
Even the Itsy-bitzy tiny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikini?...Where does it end? Lol
It is believed that the bikini was a 20th century invention. But an ancient mosaic reveals women in Rome wore it while playing sports. The Villa Romana del Casale, located in Sicily, dates back to the early fourth century AD. Among the ruins, archeologists have discovered one of the largest collections of ancient Roman mosaics. All of them are surprisingly well preserved.
One of the rooms of the villa is called Sala delle Dieci Ragazze, which can be translated as “Room of the Ten Girls” – based on the number of those depicted in the floor mosaic. Eight of them wear what in the modern world would be called a two-piece bikini, another woman wears a yellow translucent dress, while the image of the only one figure has not survived to this day.
A word that has traveled the globe, gracing menus from New York and Tokyo, all the way to Sydney and Buenos Aires. This simple Italian dish has become an international icon, thanks to the universal appeal of its varied, but simple ingredients. Yet, as widespread as its culinary fame might be, the word “bruschetta” often presents a delightful puzzle for many.
As an Italian who has journeyed across continents, I’ve always been amused by the myriad interpretations of this seemingly straightforward term. From “bruscetta” to “brushetta,” “brusceta” to “brusketta,” the variations are as diverse as the cultures that embrace the dish.
And when it comes to pronouncing it? Ah, that’s where the real adventure begins.
What does Sardinia remind you of? You're probably thinking about white sandy beaches, emerald sea, and majestic yachts from which, who knows, your next conquest might peep out! The postcard-perfect panoramas of the coast are the most recognizable calling card of this part of the island. Nevertheless, in the words of D.H. Lawrence, “This land resembles no other place." Here you will find a region as mysterious and ancient as its history and traditions, extremely varied landscapes, flavors, and scents that you will hardly forget.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, better known simply as Caravaggio, in Naples lived for only eighteen months between October 1606 and June 1607 and subsequently in the autumn of 1609 until his death occurred in 1610 in Porto Ercole on the return journey from Naples to Rome.
Despite the brevity, it was an intense and fundamental period for his artistic production and for his life. Caravaggio in Naples created several masterpieces.
