Bill de Blasio may have faced disgruntlement in his own city for taking a vacation abroad, but in the little Italian towns of his ancestors, the New York mayor can expect a warm and spirited embrace.
Town centers have been shined up. "Welcome Home" signs have been posted. Pizzas have been named in his honor.
In Sant'Agata de' Goti, a town of some 12,000 people about an hour outside Naples, citizens are bracing for a big party in his honor, and a marching band will follow Mr. de Blasio through the streets.
