  • A quick tour of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. You'll see 18th Ave. and 65th St. Some of the old Italian businesses like Villabate - Alba, DaVinci Pizza, and the Italian Records remain. Over the last 20 years, however, Chinese immigrants have mostly moved into the neighborhood. Russians and Arabic residents are included in the demographic.

      Not all of them, bensonhurst is a big neighborhood. It still has a few thousand italians probably still living there at least. But not like it was back 50 years ago when it was like 70 percent italiano.

    A horrible thing happened in Brooklyn, NY Lou Barbati the owner of the famous L&B Spumoni Gardens was shot and killed. Lou was a great guy. God bless him and his family. I dedicate my song "The Brooklyn Song" to Lou (LuLu) I feature L&B Spumoni Gardens in my video and music. m.ruclips.net/video/vrQXnkPPDiM/видео.html

      @mic1240 4 года назад

      Michele Preiato not true. Are still vibrant neighborhoods where Italian businesses, masses in Italian, festivals, Italian spoken, etc. True not as big of areas in past, but they still exist. In Chicago (not the old Little Italy anymore than not old one in NYC) but exist in both cities, including in the Bronx, and along la Corsa Italia on far NW side of Chicago/near suburbs.

    @duran007fan5 3 года назад +5

    The Italians are to blame, they not only sold out, they complain the most about the changes. they have nobody to blame except themselves and before anyone calls me out for my comment I'm an Italian that admits to this.

    • @joshfoster6189
      @joshfoster6189 2 года назад +2

      Yeah I'm baffled every time i see the same comments on videos like this. They weren't dragged out of their homes against their will; the Italians sold and left. How can we be upset at the people who moved in when the previous residents left?

      I don't understand your point. This is America, a melting pot. If you were welcomed and accepted when you and/or your ancestors came long ago, why can't you do the same?
      I'm Italian too, born and raised in Italy, and 11 years ago I moved to Germany. Nobody disdained nor rejected me, but took it as an opportunity to enrich each other.
