Visting the historic Little Italy neighborhood in lower Manhattan of New York City, notably Mulberry St., makes for a memorable experience for any of us who share Italian American roots. For it is truly recognized as the ground zero of Italian America!
Recently, “The Bocce Bros.” brothers Chris and Dante Lovell along with their bocce partner Anthony Cugini visited Little Italy Manhattan as guests to appear on the extremely popular Italian American Podcast (IAP), at Red Sauce studio. Chris, Dante, and Anthony live in Columbus, OH. Chris and Dante are native Youngstown, OH guys while Anthony hails from Columbus. Their fellow “Bocce Bros” partner Carmen Marinucci, also from Youngstown, could not make the podcast taping. Dante is the past president of the local Columbus Italian Club.
