A Siciliano in the New World

Welcome to the memories and musings of Ken Cosentino, our resident Siciliano who hails from upstate New York - but who's soul is rooted in the traditions of his parents' fatherland, Sicily. In his occasional postings, he takes us on a tour of what it's like to grow up with one foot in the United States and the other in the Old Country.

hello

Very nice article thank you very much... nakliyat

Reminds me of my familia...

I too am an American born Sicilian living in Upstate New York. My grandparents were from Sicily, the "old country".

Your stories remind me of my own familia... and I enjoyed them so much I e-mailed the link to my relatives.

My boyfriend teases me about my feelings about my family, but I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Well done.
