My Irish family grew up in Providence. It was a 2-way street between the Irish and the Italians, both the love in some and the hatred in others.
Grew up in an Irish neighborhood in the Bronx....we fought italians and albanians...we all got along as we got older
I grew up in the Italian section of Pelham Bay and growing up , I couldn't stand the Irish ! Today, it's different , we get along ! Irish always thought they were so tough but the Italian section was very enforced and like the Bronx Tale MOVIE , if you didn't belong there and started trouble, you got your Ass Kicked ! LOL
@@raymondrocco8607well yeah because we're all just "white" to the jews and blacks these days with their communist b s
As an Irishman I can say Italians are great Americans and vice versa. Earlier generations of immigrants were witnessing different cultures for the first time and were hostile and felt threatened by and to each other but as a the melting pot worked it's magic we saw the advantages each brought to OUR country.
Anytime old people say "I don't know if I should say this" you know it's gonna be good. Love em ❤
Haha so true!
I am German descent and my wife is of Italian extraction. In Boston, my sister lived in the Italian section called the North End on Hanover Street where she had an apartment. When she walked home from work at night guys would follow her to make sure she got home safely. I never had to worry about her. If someone went into the North End looking for trouble they would get more then they bargained for. I am sure it is different now and not for the better!
I'm the same combination Sicilian/German. I've heard every obvious, stereotypical joke in the world pertaining to it. Ironically, whether it was the teller's intention or not, most could be taken somewhat complimentary, frankly. I don't remember any of insinuation of weakness, &or being fearful of anything, lol. You make a valid point about the safety of the (most Mobbed up in particular) neighborhood's for women and children. It just wasn't going to be acceptable, period.
I'm still in the dark about how that's somehow flawed thinking......
So true, In the Bronx Little Italy from the 60's through the 80's everyone was able to leave their apartments open and everyone looked out for each other. Keep in mind that this is a little enclave within the south Bronx and it was once listed as the safest area in the USA.
East Boston which was jst as if not more Italian then the north end all my family has moved because it has become almost 100% Spanish complete shit hold....north end hasn't changed as much but it's getting there...sad
@@gio1985s💯 ruined.. but the north end is still nice.. as nice, no. Nice still , yes
@@discernment8963it's impossible to make any racial jokes against Germans or Italians that bother us. We have everything to be proud of.
Grew up in an Italian American family. Learned many valuable life lessons that benefited me through my 65 years.
Is it true what president Nixon said about Italians?
@@capoislamort100My friend, Nixon is what we called ( whiteheads ). People that don’t cry at funerals. And also the wives & mothers will leave their kids and run off with truck driver . Where in a ethnic type the mother never leaves the children. No matter what . Latino , Italian, Black , etc… The Mother is the stable backbone of the family . The wasp ( white Anglo Saxon Protestant ) are a strange cold group of people . Not my opinion but historical truth . Not hugging type . Oh well enough of the truth. Later
My grandfather was a full blood Italian and my grandma full blooded Irish. They lived across the street from each other on Penn Street behind the Hill. She eventually got respect she was Irish but she learned to cook like an Italian.
Did they experience challenges when they first became a couple? Like did your grandfather have Irish guys wanting to beat him up for talking to one of "their" girls?
Piss off cook like a Italian go fuk yourself
As an Irishman living in Ireland we have a small Italian community here and we love them
The Irish Irish love everyone and everyone loves them, when my grandparents immigrated from Dublin and Belfast, everyone hated the Irish.
They used to hang signs and post ads in papers saying...
"Irish need not apply"
"No N*****s
No Dogs
No Irish"
During the 1860s Irish immigrants comprised 60% of all arrests in New York City
America is a land of immigrants and we love to hate and bully the newest immigrants, and then they become one of us..
Were a pretty nuts country if you haven't noticed already 😂😂
Aye,but unfortunately you hate everybody else!
@@callummccormick8211 just the English 👍
@@Yourballix That's fair enough! 👍
Ironically I went to high school in providence and I’m from suburbs of Boston. I call it guidoville. Also to many Dominicans… they’re alright ppl
8:25 I love what judge Caprio says “I did not affect the quality of life as far as safety, if anything it IMPROVED the quality of life”
I love Italian people,,,,Iam very proud.
I love Italian folk, and I'm not Italian.
The Italians built Providence RI.
Are you kidding?? The Italians over one hundred years ago, found others with the same dialect, at their local catholic church. Extremely dedicated to the family, safe neighborhood, hard working people. 💪❤
Not just Providence but pretty much most of the North Shore in Mass.
Sad back in the day. I'm Irish lived in a mixed community in Bklyn we got along .I love the italian culture. That was fifties. Eveyond looked out for eah other. Organised crime was around us but we just went about our business. Know problems. My parents they had some issue but I had s opened ming and was a very curious child. I married Irish but my family is actually multicultural its awesome. 71 oraying for the judge he has Cancer. God Look over him. I love his show .There is one social club left in my community its sad because it is community.
If a bunch of Irish started moving into a majority Italian neighborhood and started taking jobs from the locals that were already there they'd do the exact same thing; it's just human nature.
That doesn’t make it right though.
Fair enough
What's your point? It's called life sometimes it's hard@@oladeebiazazi4538
If Raymond and Buddy were still alive, Providence would be a safer place to visit.
So true
Yup...my mother grew up across the street from Raymond. Everyone says they wish "they" were still in power in federal hill it would be safer.
@anthonyp2544 yeah I hear that all the time. They watched out for the neighborhood
No doubt about it.
Maybe
Very similar situation in the North End of Boston back in the day. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY dared get out of line when that area was "protected" by a certain family. It's still a safe area, but not as safe as it was back then.
Wasn't safe for any of the businesses that got extorted or for any citizens that got in their way.
@@del2665neighborhood business, were fine..
Neighborhood civilians were not messed with...
If it wasn't for the Italians, the Irish would have never learned they had taste buds. I'm 2nd-gen Irish,BTW.
don't be disrespectful of your culture. I'm not Irish either
You are not Irish you are American. Simple as that
Tomato 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅
Not gourmet food
So true. we used to have spaghetti with tomato soup mixed in.
I'm 100% Irish American (from da Bronx) and married a full 100% wop. My parents weren't happy when they heard I was dating an eye-talian, saying they'd prefer me to "marry a White girl". Funny thing is, my eye-talian brothers in law are all short and pudgy with greased back hair (what's left of it), but I truly love my in-laws and my parents came around to love them as well. My in-laws refuse to let a "mick" into the kitchen, which is fine by me. And oh my God, never in my life have I seen such quantities of food as when my wife and her family cook for holidays.
I grew up in the Italian section of Pelham Bay and if you didn't belong there and started trouble, you got your Ass kicked LOL , The movie , Bronx Tale was 100 percent accurate . Moving over the Whitestone Bridge to Whitestone Queens was the best move My parents ever made. It was so much nicer and you had Italians, Germans and Irish unlike Today with All the Chinese .
You must be very old.
Honestly growing up Italian American, unlike other groups, there was a strong sense of pride, even a superiority to the WASPS lol. We had it all, deep deep roots in culture, history. The coolest cars came from Italy. The food is still the best in the world imo, far superior to northern Europe. We basically have the intellect and organizational skills of the northerners but with a sense of art/fashion/style that makes the world envy.. bottom line is, Italian Americans are impossible to upset with racism because if my racial stereotype is John Gotti well that's pretty fuckin cool to me lol
From Antiquity, through the Renaissance, through Modern Times,
We INVENTED the World.
🇮🇹🐐🇺🇲💯
But have always been one of the weakest militaries to this day ....... I believe the AMERICANS liberated them from the Krauts , nobody's leaving the U. S. for a better life in Italy
The Western World. But, yes!
“We”
🤌🤌
@@findbridge1790underrated comment
We never had this problem in Boston. I am half Irish American and half Sicilian American. We grew up in the same parishes [Italian and Irish] went to the same Roman Catholic Churches, and the same schools whether public or parochial schools.
I don't know what it's like now, after every great old working neighborhood in Boston has been gentrified. Nothing but rich yuppies there now. No working people can afford to rent or buy anything there, working Irish, Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, etc. all displaced by gentrification. When the rich people want something, they just buy it right out from under you.
I just know that I can't afford to live there anymore. Money talks and bullshit walks here in the good old USA.
1:45 lol I shouldn’t say this …1 sec… “starts talking. I love it
Love this. I grew up in Mount Pleasant, in the house my mother grew up in. She was Irish and French, born in 1906 and she told me that when she was growing up, girls would be disowned if they married an Italian. Also appreciated the gentleman's remarks about how hard people had it then. My Irish grandmother, an orphan, started work at 12 in a Taftville, CT mill and she lost two fingers while working here. I belong to a RI history Facebook group and child labor came up. I couldn't believe how many people had grandparents or even parents who started work at 12 or 13. The labor exploitation and discrimination by the Yankees was unbelievable.
true.
The irish nd Italians in America had a beef that didn't exist back in Europe. They were both catholic nd treated like shit nd America has a way of pitting groups against eachother that should logically be allies. It still happens now.
...... and yet they don't leave
In reality, the Irish were more likely to inflict violence on other groups than to have violence inflicted on them. And most of the pushback against Italians came from the Irish themselves, who did not actually care about sharing a "religion" (Irish-American Catholicism was vastly different than the Catholicism of Italian immigrants). The important point here is that the Irish and Italians learned to get along with each other and, through marriage, made peace and progress. Both groups did very, very well in America, and are among the most successful in terms of wealth/income in the Northeast.
@themaskedman221 Irish possess deeply rooted demons that are exacerbated by alcohol and drugs. There are studies that have shown trauma affects DNA especially generational trauma. Irish history is tragic n brutal yet in it's face they're quite positive, jovial, funny ppl... until they're not. That propensity for violence is in the DNA.
Just like Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in Chicago! And not only are they Roman Catholic, they even share the same language and last names (due to the raping and pillaging of Spain but still)
It's called divide and conquer. If you've got two groups of oppressed people and you can convince them both that the other group is responsible for all their problems they won't bother the people who are really oppressing them😅
Isnt it crazy how the irish and italians fought each other in america but yet in Europe there best of friends ,,,
Plus of all of the mixed nationalities with Italian, Irish-Italian had the most mixed marriages
@@giovannidibravato5576 Um, the Irish and Italians had "mixed marriages" in areas where a lot of Italians and Irish settled. The Irish settled all over the country (Italians predominately in the Northeast), so no it is not the most common of mixed marriages in the US overall. In the Midwest, where there was a lot of German settlements, German-Irish marriages will be more common than Irish-Italian.
Unfortunately that's not true
My Dad /Grandfather came from Ireland... No Irish need apply... Italians did not see those signs,...Grew up from Italians ... all from the old country... Got along great with them...
The Italian signs read "Blacks 10 cents an hour and Italian 5 cents and hour"
The Irish did see those "signs" either. This is a myth.
The Irish need to ask the question…. Why were we they treated differently all around the world?….no disrespect to the Irish but it was for a reason.
Cos we take no shit bro
You know what’s crazy that Nixon said that . South Italians and Greeks literally have the same dna , the fact our own president felt that way about Italians is despicable . Can only imagine what he said about Greeks . Una faccia una razza 🇬🇷🇮🇹🇺🇸
I've learned to take Nixon's ethnic blurting with a grain of salt. The dude lived in a White House built on Palladian architecture. He also made derogatory remarks about the Irish, yet went to Ireland to visit his "ancestral home," and was a big admirer of Kennedy later in life. I think that this sort of rhetoric was often inconsistent with actions -which is bizarre, but apparently typical in the 70s (or so I've heard).
southern italians do have some greek dna from when they had colonies there .
Don't look into how Teddy Roosevelt felt about Italians.
Mr. Patriarca helped a lot of poorer people especially in South Boston and Dorchester. Mr. Patriarca owned “Coinomatic” vending machines outta Federal Hill RI. Great man!
He was a scumbag
❤ his Honor Judge Caprio.
Once Ross prio passed away It was open season on Tokyo Joe... 😯
Great video Thank you
I always felt safe on the hill. Only time I was nervous was when as a courrier I made a delivery to a restaurant and Mr. Patricia was dining. . One of his guard took the delivery and said you didn't see anything or anyone.
I wonder what year (s) this was filmed. ??
That’s the judge from all the shorts, being nice to the people
Wow a young judge caprio. He has that judge show now.
No, he retired
Yeah he was a joke then and he's still a paid for piece of shit now!
My dad came from a French Canadian family from Olneyville, but he spent a lot of time on the hill on Atwells. My grandmother met Patriarca back in the 1940's, she was petrified of him.
the filthy french😂
My Dad too , from Burrville , I was born in Woonsocket , luckily moved to Fla. when was a kid

My dad was Italian and my mom was Italian/Irish
I identify more with my Italian heritage and look Italian with my curly dark brown hair and brown eyes
Proud of my heritage
We still are not totally accepted by our wasp neighbors
This is crazy to hear living in Providence Rhode Island my whole life being irish on my Moms side and Italian on my dads side. I came up late enough to avoid most of this nationality based violence.
And the Irish went thru it too….. in NYC… watch “Gangs of New York”
I remember the part where the Irish were lynching blacks in the streets during the drafts riot.
Yes, let's all learn history from Hollywood historical fiction. Your teachers must be so proud of you.
What year was this made?
My step dad was an Italian American. He was the greatest man ive ever known. Humble, Modest, Honest, and NOBODY worked harder.
About time i hear from some real Italians!!! I live in johnston and i am sick to my stomach watching what the hill is becoming. And johnston to for that matter.
My moms family came from Southern Italy and lived in Frankford in Philly. Irish and italian neighborhood. Two Catholic Churches within a few blocks of each other. One for Irish and one for Italians, mainly because italian priests spoke the language.
I had an Irish grandmother, and an Italian mother. Love both sides.
Raymond was the top boss in U.S.
He was the final word about any beefs among large LCN families throughout the country.
In America you have this image of the guineas.
The Hollywood caricature of Italians.
At the very best, they looked like SOME sicilians and calabrians.
In reality, most of the actors were middle easterners. Sephardic jews, lebaneses, sirians and so on.
I was born in providence Rhode Island went to schools there even Mt pleasant use to go rocky point on weekends I lived on vanburan st providence rod the bus moved away lived in GA 33 years
Interesting
Anyone watched Brotherhood? Amazing show kinda like an Irish Soapranos
I'm Irish and Italian ❤
I was never treated differently because I was Irish, but I was incredibly handsome, and I got some grief for that.
As a matter of fact I still do!
It wasn’t your handsomeness. It was your modesty!!🙄
😲😲🙄🙄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the same as people who lived in east London in the sixties talking about how the streets were safer when the Kray twins were about. They kept the streets much safer than the police ever have
Patriarca looks like a guy who never smiled once in his life.
IF RAYMOND WAS ALIVE TODAY, THINGS WOULD BE ALOT DIFFERENT in prov. AND ELSEWHERE.
Right of passage as an American if you ask me, is a form of hazing that keeps the country strong. Look at how well the Irish and Italians have assimilated.
That shit isn't going to happen with the jungle races so forget about it.
You did not mess around in Federal Hill back in the day…I went back a few weeks ago to drive through I wanted to throw up at the filth living there now…
Many Places you didn't want to mess around back in those Days. John Gotti' section of Howard Beach Queens NY , You didn't even see a Gum Wrapper or cigarette butt in the streets. You could leave the door open in your home at night and nothing would happen . Even the Cops stayed away and were never called !
Worse filth living there back then

Italian and Irish in cahoots since Rome 🎉don't believe the hype 🎉
Haha! The Irish are famous for not being clannish when it comes to intermarriage. Im Irish, my wife is Spanish and we have three adopted Russian children. I even live in Spain.
I've been all over Italy and never had a problem.
The Irish gansters worked with anyone and we never had all those rules the Italians had and that made upward mobility much easier.
11:53 “the neighborhood was protected and safe, etc….” Now present day look at our neighborhoods, crime and drug ridden, thanks to the Feds enforcing the rico act. A lot of people yearn, and wish “The boys” were still around.
Luv my Italian brothers and sisters, together better!
What about the Irish and Italian Catholic clergy? Didn't they try and smooth things over? The Dioceses must have met many times over the years to deal with any on-going issues. The "wealthy" Irish lady who sat on her porch and spat at the Italian woman would have received a harsh tongue lashing from the Irish clergy I know.

Because I was a slum child...And the free stuff helped me survive & educate myself as a kid without hurting anyone & loving everyone... ...Old Naples Florida 🌴🎨
I exactly know this area, didn’t know the history of it. Scalios Bakery is delicious. I’ve always said that the Italians were the Mexicans of our past generation. Immigration comes in waves. It seems like the Indians were in 90’s as well as the Brazilians in the 90’s. Mine was in the 80’s.

Did not Raymond Patriarca live in Johnston on Hartford Avenue??
The last part of his life as an elder man, yes.
Golini dr
He lived in north providence . I was engaged to his biggest bookie Billy.
back in the early 80s. I went to their hangout every day for like 8 years .
I thought an Italian discovered America? Why did Italians experience this when they were here first? Confused.
Spain funded Columbus, Spain controlled a lot of America for a long time. As did France The British WASPS had northern colonies, eventually waged a revolution. Long story short Italians were new to the country with no financial or social influence and yeah we have extremely hot tempers.
An Italian “discovered” America but he did not really settle it and as such did not have as much an impact on the culture.

i just love being italian and all we come from food fashion wine history. latin culture. remember latin was born in rome over 3000 yrs ago. italians are the true latins not the spanish. spanish culture is castillian. but no one knows tha in 1891 new orleans 11 italians were hanged by a white mob. but im proud to be italian. by the way italians got reparations for that hanging ,google it
You could be a northern Italian or a True Romance Italian......
And then they all intermarried.. speaking from experience as my wife is Italian.. the end.

You choose them they don't choose you😅
The Micks and the Wops is what we call them.😂😊
Your too fucking old to be posing without a 👕
You look like the sort of person who still uses these terms.
Lets all get over the concern over racism. Regarding Italians being discriminated against, the last I recall, you couldn't be a made man in an Italian mob family unless you were a full blooded Italian man. Not to mention no women. All ethnicities have great experiences of wealth and success. And all ethnicities have derelict representation. Lets just appreciate each other and move on from this.
Everyone has moved on from this, before probably most of us were born. The strange fixations in the weirder depths of the internet are in no sense accurate portrayals of what Americans think and care about.
Some worse than others..
My father was Irish and my mother Italian. The derogatory insults back in the 20th century and beyond were often expressed out of jealousy. Italian women became the preference amongst American men and Italian men were more attractive to American women. In the 1960's, children were being born mixed with Italian/Irish, Italian/Puerto Rican, Italian/Dominican, Italian Cuban, Italian/German, Italian English, and much more. When Sofia Loren became a sex symbol, that translated into much of the success of more Italians in cinema.
More like Italian/Irish vs Italian/Irish
Who doesn't wanna be Italian, the best !
Honestly
Did an Italian guy just used the word reparations lol they’re kidding right smh

Not really , let's face it economicly , militarily they've always been at the bottom , with Poland as far as might . Other then Roman times they were always needed other countries for protection . Don't forget , 1930s they got pummeled in a war they started with ETHIOPIA
Then they all banded together against islam

(she was going roast beef with sauce?? ) Took me a while to figure out i had veal cutlets with sauce with ziti/and lemonade... to drink... Fantastic...
I'm Irish i love this old joke
'Why is Italy shaped like a boot?'
'Because you couldn't fit that much shit into a shoe!'
In reality, one of those countries is the birthplace of Western civilization, and the other is a bogland. I've got Irish ancestry myself (Irish/German on my father's side, Italian on my mother's), but let's be real -Ireland can't hold a candle to Italy's accomplishments. In art, architecture, science, music, philosophy -I don't even think England can match Italy, although it would come a hell of a lot closer than Ireland.
@@themaskedman221 I'm proud to be Irish lad wouldn't want it any other way. Your ignorance of our beautiful country, music, gaelic games, cuture and our people
is pathetic. The Irish are a much warmer people than Italians. Ive been to Rome and Dublin is better for the craic. Have a good day sir.
@@themaskedman221 I wouldn't swap living in Ireland for anywhere including Italy. I've been to Rome nice architecture and history but Dublin is a far better city for pubs, bars having fun. I found Rome boring. You may say we are a bogland country whatever we are a proud people who love living here.
@@dublinsfaircity Like I said, I have Irish ancestry myself, and would love to visit Ireland one day. My great-uncle named his company after a lake our ancestors lived by for 100s of years. Italy and Ireland have very different histories though, so maybe it's wise not to compare.
@@themaskedman221 I cracked a joke lad and you went on the defensive talkng about how superior Italy was to Ireland. You basically called us a bogland of nothing. And you were not even joking. You can laugh about us and Ireland all you want we are a proud people who enjoy where we live our culture, pubs, music and dancing, gaelic games, history of fighting the British for Independance. We are a happy people and dont need to compare to nobody. Hope you visit one day you'll get a warm welcome like everyone else.

Is the Irish mafia still active in providence ?
lil bit
No. It’s not even active in Boston lol
THERE NEVER WAS AN IRISH " MAFIA😎 " , IMPOSIBLE, IRISH " GANGS☘" YES... ... Artist, Old Naples Florida🌴🎨 Born on the Hill😎
The "Irish mafia" is mostly a myth. There was never any "Irish" crime organization that required members to be Irish and certainly none that called themselves the "Irish mob". The whole notion of an "Irish mob" is based mostly on the gangs that ran Irish neighborhoods back in the day, and the fact that a number of famous old-time gangsters had Irish backgrounds (think Owney Madden). But most of these gangs were small, often ethnically mixed, and had no affiliation. There was never any "ethnic Irish" criminal enterprise with a sophisticated organizational structure.
Bit confused here all i hear is about Italy
ITALIANS MUST MARRY ITALIANS.
No more intermarrying
