I have never had a person pronounce that last name correctly! except my grandfather, he is pure sicilian. he sweats olive oil and bleeds ragu. he's the real deal!

I agree.......Quebec City is nicer! I stayed at the Chateau Frontenac in Old Quebec on my honeymoon. Do you know where that is? Felt like being in Europe!
So if you grew up with a French Canadian mother and a Sicilian Father.....it must have been lively at your house!!
Both cultures have a real "love" of life!
When you said roll the "r"........I totally got the pronounciation of your name.....and I'm sure I said it just like your grandfather! haha
