Describe your heritage with your local history.

I don't know if it is the right place but actually 90% of my national politic belong here so.

I'm from a small town in Vicenza "at the feet" smallst of the Dolomiti, we are 60% linked to etruscans and 40% linked to Tyrol culturally.

Before we were raethics, etruscans who went here in Dolomiti escaping from Romans.
Then Romans enrolled us, still we were closer to Carlo Magno whom was germanic as heritage.
Now I don't remember but a back and forth between west and east Roman empire but I know early period of Serenissima of Venezia was orthodox... but, dude, we are mostly linked to byzantine so I guess we went for most of the time as oriental Roman empire.
When Serenissima died we went austrians, keep in mind Venice was rulling whole south slavic lands and the most friendly are Croatia and Albania. We were also early friends of arabs then they tried to occupy us and we won against.
Then in the first war we won against Austria but we still got most of Austria's system which means we are rich as them.
Ah, we went occidental romans when the Serenissima of Venice had joined with Austria to the catholic beliefs.
Serenissima never had colonized, was feminist... but required you to be catholic and hetero, weird? Yes.
Witch were quite not persequited.

During fascism most of the antifascist hided here in Alps. We are closer to Balkans than Switzerland.

Ah, many venetian and three venetians (Triveneto) went in Amercas.

We joke about being the texans in Italia.

Soooo.


Actually I've got 3 heritage: mediterranean (60%), german (25%), slavic (15%) and something with arabs but not much.

Much of my family immigrated to Florida from Sicily sometime in the 19th century. The part of Florida they were in had huge Cuban, Spanish, and Italian (mostly Sicilian) populations, and they all worked in cigar factories together, so my family wound up being trilingual (English, Italian, and Spanish) for generations. Cubans and Italians had anarchist, antifascist leanings as well, probably similar to the folks you mentioned in your post. They were big into reading and discussing radical literature, apparently sometime in the 1920s or so someone got shot because the anarchists couldn't decide what book to read! It's kinda comical

In the 50s, there was a big push towards assimilation, so only English was passed on to my mother. I find it quite unfortunate given the multilingual society we live in today. I would love to learn Spanish and Italian.

I also grew up with a lot of delicious Cuban and Spanish dishes along with Italian-American dishes. My favorites are ropa vieja (a shredded beef dish marinated in flavor) and platanos (fried plantains). The Cuban sandwich in the area of Florida I grew up in is traditionally made with Italian salami. And my grandpa makes the best lasagna in the world, seriously.

The rest of my family is German (though some are apparently genetically Polish, a country I know next to nothing about). My grandmother moved from Germany after having two of my aunts and got her US citizenship in the early 2000s. German food is not as good as Italian-Cuban fusion food, but I do find comfort in it. I actually really like sauerkraut!

I forgot about the italo-argentinoLUIS SAL and his brother Luis Martin!! !! !

Well, first thing first he replied to an ignorant joke about autism with "I think I'm autistic... whole we are" (coff coff I guess he wasn't lie) second if you know Ferragni you know Fedez and he went famous to had a podcast with him called Muschio selvaggio now with his brother or friends.
