It’s not
enough to be born in Italy to be a real Italian – same you can say for people here in
the USA – my own family can be traced in the Italian geographical site – the
famous boot - for hundreds of years in the past, Italy as a nation is way much more recent
than its geography, just a couple of centuries ago Italy became a nation with
its current name, but you can say that Italy started to exist well before the
time of the ancient Roman Empire, that’s about how far in the past my family
can be traced back (In example look here in the column on the right about my family and our musical organ building past).
Therefore
it’s easy to say that me and both of my children (treasures) are truly Italian, what this means is well explained and described by
both the Youtubes and the websites you can go to using the link I put below my
writing.
I want to
add that being a Lingiardi not only makes me and my treasures pure Italians, it
makes us part of the circle of individuals who live and lived under the
umbrella of “what
doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” when I look at my daughter G. I
see an angel who acts like me at her age, then when I look at my son, even if I
don’t see much physical similarity to me, I see that his spine is at least as
strong as mine is.
I find it
funny that’s sufficient for me to say “hi” to some American people to be asked where I’m from
(it's usually a European
nation, NOT a State in the US ) no matter how many years I’ve been living here and no matter how much I tried
to acquire an American accent.
Of course I’m
very different in what and how I eat food.
My drinking, music listening and cultural passions can be all grouped into the Italian container, I suspect that these are the reasons why every individual who ever had anything to do with me (work, sport, vacation or "a night out”) still has a very good and pleasant memory of me and what we did together.

I’m
therefore somehow proud to say here that not only I’m a pure Italian, but I’m a
true Lingiardi too, as well as both of my treasures are.
