THE INTERVIEW:
EDWARD BEVILACQUA
Italy and Las Vegas,
so many things in common
By Umberto Mucci
Wandering around the 50 States in search of traces of Italy on
American soil, this time we land
where everybody once in their life
would like to go to have fun, to do
something different, to change at
least for a bit the routine of their
lives: Las Vegas. A city known all
over the world, a place with a very
different story than every other
place, Las Vegas – too – has a big
Italian presence. Nobody better
than Edward Bevilacqua can enlighten us and our readers about
this. This stime what happens in
Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas.
Just keep reading!
Edward, we know that the story
of the Italians in Las Vegas and
in Nevada is also a story of mafia. When it comes to the Italians,
unfortunately the mainstream
narration almost always stops at
that: but many Italian Americans
participated in every aspect of
the city's growth. Will you help us
knowing something more about
this?
