I learned many things about my heritage, but one thing that stood out to me was the different words used in England. For example, erasers in England are called "rubbers". There are also different spellings of words, such as "favorite", as spelled in America, but spelled as "favourite" in England. There are also different eating traditions, such as having vinegar with a meal.

Another thing I learned about my heritage has to do with the Italian side. There are traditions circled around birth, marriage and death that are almost always celebrated by specific foods. New mothers are served chicken broth and milk to give her strength and nourishment for the baby. Marriage is celebrated with large feasts, while it is tradition to serve bright colored foods at a funeral or burial.

To conclude, this project also taught me different things about holidays. I learned is that children in Mexico do not receive presents on Christmas Day. They receive gifts on January 6, the day on which Mexicans celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Men. To celebrate the return of spring, children in England dance around tall poles decorated with ribbons, called maypoles. Their dancing wraps the ribbons tightly around the pole. Finally, in Italy there is a holiday called "All Saints Day". This is a day taken to celebrate all saints, known and unknown. This is usually congratulated with a big feast in the community.

Liberation Day is  traditionally celebrated on April 25. It's the day Mussolini's Italian Social Republic fell and marks the end of the Nazi occupation in Italy in 1945, during World War II.
Many public gatherings take place in Italy on this day. Marching bands, music concerts, food festivals, political rallies, and other events are ways of celebrating.

In Italy Friends, family and/or neighbors normally bring home made chicken broth to welcome a woman into motherhood. Around southern Italy female neighbors normally bring the new mother pigeon soup and/or a milk-fed, small pigeon. This apparently helps bring out the mothers new food for the baby. The families of farms bring cookies, bags of sugar or coffee to give the new mother energy.

My great-grandfather’s brother lived in America at the time my family was considering moving south. He had called the U.S. the “Land of Opportunity“. Eventually he persuaded them to come over in 1964. The process was very extensive, according to my grandmother. Her family had to have a full medical check-up. They also had to have $3,000 cash on them, and a specific destination and how they were going to get there.

World War II had just ended, and my family wanted a better opportunity in a new land. My great-grandfather had met people in the navy during the war who were from America and Canada; they talked about the better opportunities in their home countries. My great-grandparents took my grandma on a boat to Canada as soon as she could travel - 6 months old. She was the youngest passenger! After a few years, they decided to make the trip to America.
