Peter did you have a relationship with your biological father growing up? I don’t think you did. It shows in your lack of regard for your people and how much better it is to live within your own people. This man knows what destroyed his neighborhood. I don’t sense you are a Christian either. That would be a good place to start in understanding your identity. God creates the nations (races / ethnicities) and immigration post 1965 was a treasonous act. God bless the Rich Mancusos and prayerfully they will let their true voice be heard as to warn their lineage of the perils to come.

I find it amazing how New Yokers who are total strangers can just talk to one another as if they have known each other for a long time, like they were neighbors and treat each other with such hospitality. That's a perfect example of community and neighborly love. I find it awesome how involved New Yorkers, with the exceptions of others because not everyone is friendly, can just come together as one another. I find that amazing! You hardly see that these days. It blows me away. I love to see it. How sad that it's rare.

@greatmusicfan57 10 месяцев назад

I was raised by New Yorkers. Jewish, Italian, Irish, German, etc. Grew up in Florida, a community filled with ex New Yorkers. TV portrays New York as every Italian is Mob, Irish Drunks,Jews mean, etc. People need to go to the neighborhoods like this and TALK to old timers. People are nice If you are nice to them. Not everyone is like the idiotic Hollywood movies. Hard working people with morals abound if you stop listening to media. I wish movies would portray Italian families that are not Mafia. It would make for a nice change.

Italian american were and still are hard working people, respectful and very well integrated into the american way of living. Thay don't mess things up (now), they don't wear exotic dresses, they don't even praise weird gods (or at least they don't do it anymore).

Every grandma took their comfiest chairs and blocked both sides of the street. We had music, beautiful food, face painting for the kids and lots of booze lol! There is nothing in the world like seeing the kids on their bikes all over the place, the men hosing down the block to clean up before and after the party. Brings tears to my eyes to know my family was so close. Now they have either died or moved to Florida. I miss being young, but I bring with me all of those memories to pass on.

What a sweet man. But I take what he says about the mob with a grain of salt. In the early 60's, I was a little kid hanging out in my Mom and Dad's pizza restaurant in the Chicago area. Every so often this group of about five friendly, well dressed older guys came in. I still remember them getting down on their knees to talk to me. I thought they were great. One of them looked like Jimmy Durante. I'm told they brought me a bunch of Christmas presents one year. Later, my parents told me they were the mob. They came to collect from the jukebox but I believe it went farther than that, because relatives told me these guys were the reason my parents left the restaurant business. Anyway, this was another good video series on your part. Your work on the border series was phenomenal. Thank you for what you're doing.

This man should be a tour guide person. He knows the area so well and has so many stories to tell, especially the wise guys back in the days, he would be a great tour guide.

It’s interesting watching the interviewee walking down memory lane and rehashing what all he witnessed/knew about the neighborhood during his time. And then by the time you get to the young men sitting in the chairs on their phones, they seemed to not care/ignoring him until they ran into the other guy minutes later. Once they ran into him, it was fun to see them rehash; I definitely feel Rich was more connected than he let on (hence all the love) and the other guy seemed to want to share a view that wasn’t as positive. But hey, we all have different experiences… Thanks for the video Peter!

Thank you for risking your safety and spending your time to deliver this amazing content to us. I really appreciate you.

Recently discovered your RU-vid channel. Fantastic concept. I often wanted a way to understand the perspective of people from other parts of the world, but found no easily accessible way to do so. As a bonus, I have discovered I may not have understood the perspective of fellow Americans as well as I could. Love what you are doing!

@pizzareviewsonthego 2 года назад

I did not want this to end! Great tour! I think Rich is a very good guy. I smiled while watching this entire thing, to watch a guy stroll through his old neighborhood and talk about the Italian American culture in the Bronx, as well as his personal memories growing up there.

This seems like the best Peter Santello coverage in my opinion. I'm neither Italian or from where this shoot was. I just appreciate the old stories and history and pretty much everything about this video. I have helped an Italian out one time just because I was a nice guy, and I gotta say.. That guy told me if you ever need anything.. .. Really cool dude. ✌️

I'm Italian born in America (great grandparents from Naples and Amalfi). I was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and I also have fond memories of the mob guys. They had a code of ethics back then that's completely gone today. I live in San Francisco now, and it's just a 💩hole here right now. If someone calls me a guinea, they'll get a punch in the face. Peace. 🐰💙🎸🎶🤝✌️

Been about 10 years since I visited NYC, but this is what I remember it as. Streets with warm and welcoming people. It's the small things that makes it special like the guys just doing some dance moves at the street corner, the guy in the end showing up and giving his insight on the house and the people that used to be there. Love it!

I hope you will continue to add to your subscribers. I find you style to be wonderful. It is informative and with the border , it was the best coverage that I saw in all media. Keep it up Peter. I love this Bronx tale since I lived in the time when all this was happening. I miss the old usa of the 50 and 60's. I have sympatico with the Italians. My grandparents were Irish on one side and Polish on the other. Both sides of the Irish family came to Ellis Island in the late 1800's and the Polish were the early 1900's. The story is the same for all of the immigrants
