Wow. Another great episode. This series is so well produced and put together beautifully. Focus is on true culture. Keep up the great work. My hat is off to everyone involved in making these.
This is a wonderful presentation of local Italian American culture and tradition. After so many generations it is good to see there is still a connection to our country. My only disappointing observation is the tendency to mispronounce Italian Sir names. One restaurant’s family name sounded more Spanish than Italian.Preserving language and correct pronunciation should also part of Italian American culture. Viva l’Italia!
Grazie Giovanni! It's always a joy for us to do these. We do ask each individual/business for their preferred pronunciation before we roll, but we also encourage the reclamation of the Italian pronunciations when we can! Thanks for watching!
Tri-colored hydrants seem to be a popular symbol of Italian Neighborhoods around the country! In fact, it's become the symbol of the Italian Enclaves Historical Society, an organization doing some GREAT work cataloging historic and contemporary images of Italian Neighborhoods in America! Thanks for watching!
No mention of the wonderful summer outdoor film screenings started by the late, great John Penti, who showed movies from a projector from the second-floor window of his home. It is straight out of the film "Cinema Paradiso." Also, Nancy Pelosi, who became the first Italian American (and female) Speaker of the House, grew up in Baltimore, a singular historical achievement that should be more prominently mentioned. And it's hard not to notice the empty podium in the small piazza from whence the Columbus statue was violently torn down last summer by angry protesters. The statue was dedicated by President Reagan in 1984. Current residents are heroically working to restore it and replace it--a great, inspiring story that should also have been mentioned. Buon appetito!
Amazing content and production. Loved having Pat as the voiceover!
So did we! There's only one Pat!
Great job Ray Alcaraz in providing the guided tour of Little Italy.
Ray is the man to know in Balt-amore! A great host!

Sadly our little Italy in Baltimore has changed drastically in recent years ..it was once rich with Italian culture
What happened to it? I’ve heard Highlandtown had a significant Italian population as well at one time but now has a sideshow Latino population .
Never knew Baltimore had Italians. Looks nice
It is a nice Little Italy, and worth the visit. Thanks for watching!
It was way better back in the day
no, not really.

Great Episode as usual! Been there many time living in VA and their annual festivals are well done!

Ciao amici? Tutto bene? Great seeing another episode. And one more thing - did everyone catch the tri-colored fire hydrant at 1:30 ? Che figo !

St. Leos and sacred heart of Jesus are probably the most beautiful churches in Baltimore.
