Who Am I ?


That is a question with many answers. I'll start with the most current item of which I am very proud.
I am a father, a husband, an uncle, a brother, a son, a friend, a stockbroker, a real estate investor, a trader, an operations manager, a handyman, a landlord, an American, an Italian, a Sicilian and a lot of other things I can't think of right now.

Club Siciliano


I started Club Siciliano on AOL. If you are an AOL subscriber, take a look!
Club Siciliano was started with the help of Luciana from AOL. My reasons for starting this Club were many. I see a lack of interest from our people when it comes to Italy. Everyone seems to be comfortable where they are. Whereas all other groups are so involved with their fathers homeland, we are not. My goal is to try to keep the culture going by teaching the language, educating people about Sicily past and present, playing the music, etc. We need to be recognized as people who made a difference in this world. We shouldn't be identified as Mafioso! This is not who we are. When I was Growing up in Brooklyn, there were one or two people I knew who were connected. It wasn't as you see in the movies. The movies takes that 1% of the Sicilian population in Sicily and shows it as being a large sector of the population. That is why we have to teach our children the truth about Sicily. We have to show them and everyone else the positive points of being Sicilian. Enough said!! Get to work, Paisani Siciliani!!!!
This Club has grown since we started on Dec. 6, 1996. The amount of posts we receive on our bulletin board shows that people do care!

 Suggestions are always welcomed!

I have a P.O. Box for Club Siciliano which is used for any correspondence that cannot be E-Mailed including extra cannolis, good Sicilian wine, etc.. Anyone who would like to send me pictures of their families here in the States or in Sicily or whereever, please do so. Detailed Maps of Sicily are also needed.
