where I lived there were multitudes of Italians. Strangely enough, I never heard or witnessed them being ostracized about it. The Germans were another story. At least 2 families I knew personally were badly treated for their German origins. Probably because they were fewer in number; weren't 'gregarious' by nature, and so,weren't as well known in the community.
As the war progressed, it was not unusual to see Italian POW's out in the roadhouses on a Sunday afternoon with the locals. I find it hard to believe that Alito Sr. would feel it necessary to hide his true origins.
Benign or not - do these sob's have to lie about everything? It's like a nervous tic with them.
