Thank you @CarolDM for starting this awesome challenge!
I choose a quote that I find to be so true, because when I say I am Italian American, some get this idea that my family has connections with the Mafia, which is of course far from the truth!
The picture was taken a few years ago!
“I'm very proud of being Italian-American, but people don't realize that the mafia is just this aberration. The real community is built on the working man, the guy who's the cop, the fireman, the truck driver, the bus driver.”

I am 100% Italian, a northern, the Mafia did not exist in the north when I was young and I lived there. Now there is a lot more than Mafia, many things not to be proud of, but this is the same for every nation. I do not live anymore in Italy, but I do not change my nationality.
