About this listen
In this third installment of our Italian American Heritage Month series, Patrick and Lawrence explore the post-WWII boom years when Italian America went mainstream. They trace how family kitchens turned spaghetti and meatballs into national staples, how crooners like Sinatra and Dino became icons, and how Italian Americans reshaped politics—from city halls to Capitol Hill. The episode dives into the cultural assimilation, pride, and contradictions that marked the journey from the old neighborhood to the American Dream, setting the stage for the modern Italian American identity.
