#6 Being Italian


Bravo = Italian?! Not fully Italian but he likes to claim it. I thought we would tackle his love for Italy, since they are playing in the Euro 2008 today against the Netherlands. But that's not the point. Italian-American's have been fighting stereotypes for years now, dating back to the Godfather and the Sopranos. With their terrible accents and love for everything Italian (food, Rocky/Sly Stallone, tanning oil, hair gel, soccer), why wouldn't you want to claim to be Italian. The problem is, our favorite Bravo is only half Italian. It's ok though because Italia football is legendary, and so is Bravo.
