    Which famous Italian (or ancient Roman) are you the most proud of as an Italian, and why? (You can choose a famous person from any time period up through the present and from any category, e.g., arts/culture, politics, sports, etc. Or even a fictional figure from mythology, literature, cinema, etc. )

    Which aspect of Italian (or ancient Roman) culture, art, or history do you think is the most "overrated" by non-Italians?:p

    Hazelnut (Nocciola - never knew that was the Italian word for Hazelnut. :)) Second favorite is chocolate.

    I haven't tried legit Pistacchio gelato, bet I would love it though, as I still remember that Grom Nocciola gelato from a decade ago. It haunts my taste buds.

    Have you found decent gelato here in the States?

    I think I went in the same Grom you mentioned. Where was it? Not far from Columbus Circle, right? I have rusted memory.

    If chosen for the job I promise to simply tell everyone who opens the asinine thread where they can punt off to. Thus, thoroughly educating the masses on Ireland.

    I think so. There were several branches here a decade ago. Glad to know one is still around. :)

    Or @Jedi Ben I may have the OP be welcoming and appeal to everyone's current Irish pop culture Derry Girls sensibilities and just post "Slainte, mother*******!" before getting down to business.

    I surely know way less than you do on the subject. Sorry! Never been an expert in cars.

    I'm afraid it isn't anymore.

    Why do Romans insist on having two different styles of pizza, neither of which is as good as Neapolitan?

    Have you seen Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, and, if so, what is your opinion of it?
