- It's St. Joseph's Day Weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Rossella Rago and John M. Viola, co-hosts of "The Italian American Podcast", are heading down to The Big Easy for one of the biggest weekends in Italian America!
Ro, John and their friends from NYC are in the middle of preparing 600 lbs. of the Sicilian delicacy 'Pasta con le Sarde' when what was originally scheduled to be a weekend of parades and parties gets cut short by the worsening news about the growing Corona Virus outbreak. So, Chef David Greco and the the gang roll up their sleeves and get to work on pulling off the sole event celebrating the 50th Anniversary for the Italian American St. Joseph Society and their annual St. Joseph's Day Weekend festivities!
"Greetings From Italian America " is presented as a joint project of The Italian American Podcast and The Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), one of the nation's most important organizations for Americans of Italian descent. Each month, we'll explore the people, places, and peculiarities of the Italian side of America, bringing the heart of the Italian American experience to 25 million Italian Americans, and to the wider world... delivering history, discussion, examination, and connections with smarts, heart, and a lot of laughs!

I never knew about the ‘sawdust’ or top of the spaghetti. It made me tear up.

Excellent video. The monument is beautiful and the pasta looks delicious.
Grazie Alex! Thanks for watching, we're glad you enjoyed!
My grandfather Giuseppe came over from Carini, Palermo, Sicily with his Sicilian wife from Monreale in 1906. I’m in the process of dual citizenship.
Good luck! It's great to pursue dual citizenship!

This is a nice, but should New York residents have been traveling to New Orleans in the middle of this pandemic? Now New Orleans is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, probably from Mardi Gras. So if you didn't spread the virus, you took the risk of picking it up.
nobody knew it was that bad yet in March there was like 50 cases in NYC in early march
Shut the hell up
