  That was a beautiful moment, when he stared briefly at his mother’s window while smiling.

  Damn i loved watching this. &nbsp;Love hearing older people talk about their lives. Honestly I have very little need for TV anymore. This is my jam.

  I was born and raised in the Bensonhurst area of Brooklyn NY. I’m actually an Orthodox Jew but this brought back such wonderful memories of my childhood and my Italian neighbors who were the people we chatted with and played with . <br>My sister had a wonderful Italian neighbor who invited her to his home to join his family every year when he made “the sauce” &nbsp;from the tomatoes that he grew . It was a family effort. &nbsp;Italians were all about family and it was so heartwarming to witness it as a child. I know this video is 3 yrs old but it’s so wonderful to watch over again.

  My great grandfather came over from Italy to Ellis Island and he lived on the lower east side of Manhattan. He helped build many bridges and the Empire state building in NYC. Back then it was about family and working hard. Love watching these videos. Thank you

  &quot;You cannot erase good memories&quot; I used to have lots of bad memories but now I make an effort and get out there and experience good things and now have good memories. Life became more beautiful when I stepped outside my bubble.

  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&apos;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&apos;s rare.

  I had the pleasure and privilege to live in Italy for 6 months. The experience forever changed me for the better as I got to see how life is supposed to be lived.

  I think most Italian masses back in the day we&apos;re done in Latin

  I could have watched you and Rich for hours. The young man with an Italian grandfather and the biracial gentleman really helped the video along. Thank you all for such a wonderful video.
