Why do you love being Italian or of Italian desent?

I am proud to be italian haha (:

no one speaks it in my class

I really love the food my mom makes that are recipes from my grandma. I'm pretty sure that my grandma and her family were the first to immigrate to America. But it's not all about the food. I am just proud to be Italian. I love the culture. I've always wanted to go to Italy and look at all the architecture. I've always wanted to go to San Damiano Convent. There are so many things to see in Italy. I'm just so proud to be Italian. :D :D
