Finding Staten Italy in Staten Island, NYC

[@FdlReymx]

Yo trabajé en pastelería y restaurante Bruno. Fue una de las mejores escuelas hay aprendí mucho saludos a todos y gracias por todo 🙂

[@chuckiea7011]

I'm from The Bronx NY and I use to visit Staten Island all the time for some of the best and most authentic Italian cuisine. As someone who's African American and Latin American I got a lot of love from Italians out there and even got invited to a few parties out there. I love and miss my hometown of NYC. Such a beautiful melting pot.

NYC has got the best of all cultures! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this excellent video. I lived in Staten Island from 1979-1987. I’ve always enjoyed the beauty and history of this unique boro. I enjoyed seeing all of the contributions made by the Italian people throughout the history of the island. I also admire and respect the Italian Americans for their love of the USA, while preserving their Italian heritage and it’s culture. Thank you again for this enjoyable presentation. 🇺🇸❤🇮🇹

I had the privilege of visiting that beautiful Mt. Carmel grotto there while I was in NY years ago. What an incredible experience!

[@ItalianAmerican]

It's an amazing place, we really enjoyed exploring it. Thanks for watching!

[@arianemariano3807]

I lived in Staten Island for 31 years and never visited that grotto. I had no idea it was there! I surely will be seeing it next trip home. Thanks for this fantastic historical look at my hometown! ❤️🇺🇸🇹🇯

Nice film. Pastosa our parents used to buy us for a treat in both Brooklyn and staten island.

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

As true Italians of good red wine at the table.

[@ItalianAmerican]

Gotta have it!

[@James-oi7mz]

Ottimo video. Mi è piaciuta la storia degli immigrati italiani in America. Ho imparato molto. Il mio nome non è italiano ma mia madre è italiana. Sono cresciuto mangiando cibo siciliano. Grazie mille .

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

Allora sei cresciuto benissimo, mangiando siciliano....

[@ItalianAmerican]

Grazie!! We're glad you are learning from our shows!

[@Ecuacolom]

Very nice interesting history molto grazie

Excellent content! 🏆🏆🏆

[@donna.a8571]

My grandpa from Sicily came to 10314 1910, I never changed my zip code till I retired to Florida…

[@frastefano90]

Finally caught up with this. Awesome job. Y'all should seriously consider Bridgeport, CT next. The St.Margret's shrine, built by IA immigrants, is worth the trip alone.

[@arfriedman4577]

I've never been to Brunos. I'd love to try home made Nutella.

Lol all the Guinea's of Staten Island hang at the 'Kettle black', on Forest Ave, on Staten Island. It's funny cuz I use to live in Staten Island. When I cut my hair short People say I look like Vin Diesel, Especially in Staten Island. I had to leave cause in Staten Island is just to much cursing from the Guineas lol for me. When they're in a good mood there funny, but when they're in a bad mood they're Loud, uptight, Raci$t & Obnoxious. If I could get a dollar 💵 everytime a Italian says Spik, & the 'N word! Especially now with the migrants Mayor Adams is sending To Staten Island, The I'talians & Irish are Pissed! 😆

[@canhdang4818]

U my

[@debbierizzo664]

Lower the music

[@nando_bk]

Unfortunately omitted a big contributing factor to the migration of Italians from south bk to SI during the late 60s & 70s was also white flight, the backlash & fear to integration efforts.

[@IndianaTones]

Our family from Brooklyn was poor and lived in a diverse community in downtown Brooklyn. They moved here to own their own home because it was affordable and had a backyard unlike in Brooklyn. Such a generalization and blanket statement. 🙄

[@nando_bk]

@@IndianaTones did you miss the part where I say a contributing factor?

[@IndianaTones]

@@nando_bk anecdotal people moved because the bridge was built and no one moved away from anyone. Actually the properties are unaffordable in Brooklyn for all middle class people that moved to Staten Island so your history is incorrect.

[@andycalimara]

Some people never want to admit their own racism….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davidjackson7281]

I believe there is truth to your opinion. This is supported by the migration of whites from high crime urban areas. A change in demographics and cultures is a factor, also. Birds of a feather flock (or flee) together. Plus, moving improved the available amenities for a better lifestyle. Harsh but true. Gotta love America where relocating is a viable option.

[@lucaamoruso2672]

Statunitensi che si credono Italiani. Cultura italiana? Voi non sapete nemmeno cosa sia il concetto di cultura.

[@jamesgeorginis3225]

Please define Italian Culture in your words Luca Amoruso since there are countless different regions in Italy,different foods,different customs & dialects?

[@lucianomezzetta4332]

Sono d'accordo.
