Alessandro Spad Personal Narrative In My Family

My dad, Alessandro Spada, is a first generation Italian in his family who has come to America. All of his family, my nonna, nonno, zio’s and zia’s, still live in Italy. He came to America, got married to an American, got a good job, and had a family of his own. My dad taught me what it was like to be an Italian.

Families are always there for each other, in good times and in bad times. Not that American families are not like that, but it’s different with Italian families. For example, most kids live with their parents until they get married in Italy. My uncle, who is twenty-nine, still lives with my nonna and nonno in the house he grew up in. He has his own job and everything, but my nonno and nonna, especially my nonna, baby’s him but that can be because he’s the youngest child. There is nothing wrong about that because it’s what Italian families do. I always have to forewarn my friends when they come over that my family isn’t yelling when they talk, they just naturally talk loud. Everything about my culture makes me who I am today and I wouldn’t want to change that for the
