Yesterday in Chiavari, Liguria. A brief moment before the storm returned today.

Thinking of travel beyond my neighborhood in Liguria where you can see so much more.

I love my country of Italy. However, I am not thrilled with this.

Huddling with the bloc's top officials and driving the agenda on the headline issue of migration, Italy's Giorgia Meloni was front and centre as EU leaders converged on Brussels this week.

Another Italian American story.

Celebrating Italian Heritage Month with A.P. Giannini – Founder of Bank of America! 🇮🇹💼

Did you know that the largest bank in the U.S., Bank of America, was founded by an Italian American? Amadeo Pietro “A.P.” Giannini, born to Italian immigrants from Genoa, Italy, in 1870 in San Jose, California, created what would become a financial giant.

In 1904, Giannini opened the Banca d’Italia in San Francisco, providing loans and savings opportunities to hardworking immigrants, who were often rejected by other banks. Also known as “America’s Banker,” Giannini would even keep his banks open until 9 or 10 at night for the workers.

After the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Giannini famously set up a temporary bank on the streets using a horse and wagon, offering loans on a handshake to help rebuild the city. Every single loan was repaid in full.

In 1916, Giannini had opened several other locations of his bank, revolutionizing the idea of branch banking. By 1928, after opening over 500 branches across California, his Bank of Italy merged with Bank of America, cementing a new name and a bold mission.

Beyond banking, Giannini financed major projects like the Golden Gate Bridge, helped fund early Hollywood, including Disney’s "Snow White" and Cecil B. DeMille’s "Ten Commandments," and supported California’s aerospace and agricultural industries.

A.P. Giannini’s legacy is a powerful reminder of the impact of Italian American contributions. 🇮🇹
