The phenomenal influence of the Italian people on the history of America is explored in this important motion picture. From it’s discovery by Columbus, to Amerigo Vespucci for whom our country is named, to the multitudes arriving at Ellis Island, the amazing contributions of Italians are discussed by luminaries such as comedian Pat Cooper and legendary coach Joe Paterno. Joe DiMaggio, Frank Sinatra, Lee Iacocca, Frank Capra, Vince Lombardi, Robert De Niro, Geraldine Ferrarro, Madonna, Martin Scorcese are just a few of the major figures from all spheres of American life explored in this movie. A celebration of Italian food and tender recollections of the experience of growing up "in the old neighborhood" cap off this heart- felt and engrossing film which belongs in every Italian-American household.
