There is a Jewish tradition of family, too, but then not all Italian or Jewish families are close.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that being Jewish has generated an extremely strong sense of the importance of family. If I look at my Scandinavian colleagues, they don't have that urgency about family. All my movies are about that.
My family is a Jewish Iranian family, but I was born in Turkey and raised in Italy. So it's a very mixed background.
Well, I'm Italian, but my family isn't stereotypical. I mean, I only have one sister and we don't yell or throw pasta at each other. My mother doesn't even have a secret spaghetti sauce recipe.
My mom's family is Russian Jewish, and my dad's Puerto Rico Catholic, so it's kind of a weird mix.
I was born and raised in New York, but my family on both sides is of Italian descent.
In Europe the parents are included as with children. All three generations are together. I'm thinking of Italy. You go out on a Sunday afternoon and the whole family is there.
I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.
My family is from Russia and Poland. We never had that thing with the German Jews.
I come from a small village in Sicily. For all Italian people, family is very important. We don't fight with our families.
