The Romans were perfectly good Italians, and only started going downhill when they let too many barbarian foreigners into the home country.

Yo, it's the same story with Italian neighborhoods everywhere. The Italians leave, next thing you know, it's Mogadishu.

Your hometown, for instance. (I hope they held onto North Beach!)

So true.

The Chinese are taking over North Beach. A lot of the “Italian” restaurants remaining there are Chinese owned and operated by guys from Argentina.

The Roman Empire fell because of their inability to control their borders. This year’s barbarian invader was next year’s grain dole recipient. They ran out of grain.

Salve.
