EDITORIAL #81:
What’s up with WTI
By Umberto Mucci
Ciao from Rome! Welcome to the 81st
issue of our online magazine. At We the
Italians there’s a lot going on. We’re working on a complete restyling of our website, which will be ready in September
and won’t disappoint our readers. In the
meantime, on behalf of We the Italians
I’ve been honored to participate to a
couple of important happenings.
The first one took place in Rome, at the
Rome Campus of St. John’s University
where I had the honor to be the keynote
speaker of the second conference of the
American Italian Sociohistorical Association, organized by my good friend Prof.
Louis Gesualdi.

The second one was the presentation of
the Italian version of our book in Reggio Calabria, where I had the pleasure
to have with me as speakers Hon. Colombia A. Barrosse, American Consul in
Naples; Prof. Simone Cinotto, one of the
50 interviewees and author of the book
“Making Italian America: Consumer Cul-
We’re also very happy because We the
Italians sponsored for the second time
the Italian team who played against USA
at the Newport Polo Club in Newport,
Rhode Island for the 25th season of the
Newport International Polo Series. With
2,000 people attending, at the end of a
very tight match, USA beat Italy, led by
Captain Marco Elser and top players
from Rome, by 8 to 7: but what’s impor-
ture and the Production of Ethnic Identities”; and Paolo Zagami, representative
for Calabria of the American Chamber
of Commerce in Italy. More than 200 people attended the event in a wonderful
location.
