    One thing about Italian families is everybody bust each others ball and nobody takes it personal. It’s how us Italians show our love for each other. At any Italian family gathering, it’s nonstop laughter. Laughter is key to a happy life.

    • @alexplorer
      @alexplorer Год назад +6

      Same. Jimmy is so good at his job as a presenter, but he also never bottled things up so much that he came across as detached or fake or enigmatic like so many other tv personalities do. Where family is concerned, he has always been so sincere. His tribute to Uncle Frank was beautiful, and he made as all feel like part of the family. I cried so much as well... and again years later when I watched it a second time. It was so affecting because Jimmy communicated Frank's passing not as the loss of someone on the show but as the loss of a real person. Jimmy's relatives (Chippy, Frank, Sal, Micki, and others) weren't people he turned into characters for a show; they were characters in real life, so Jimmy let them be themselves and through the magic of tv and the internet they came into our homes and visited just like family would. They're our "Aunt" Chippy, "Uncle" Frank, and assorted "Cousins," and I'd fight anyone who says Micki isn't the nicest person in the world. Because don't talk bad my family!

Ancestry’s RUclips channel, and online platforms in general, has so much untapped potential for great marketing programming that can connect the past in ways that’s still relevant and culturally relatable to the times. I wish I could pitch ideas to the head of their Marketing Strategy Director to bounce some ideas and partner with them. But, good work guys!

      I wholeheartedly agree that Italians are wonderful people.
      My big Sister had a few Italian guy friends & they knew how important it was for us to open our front door wide & welcome any passing people inside for respite during Passover Seder. Every year, two of her Italian guy friends would ask what time dinner would be served (between our Passover prayers), & every year they would show up, join us for dinner, clear their plates, wish us a Happy Pesach, & leave us to finish our prayers.
      And every year, my big Sister would join them for Midnight Mass at the Catholic Church two streets over from our house, & The Feast of San Gennaro.
      Now that is what I call FAMILIA!
