(Ansa) «Oggi è il 79esimo anniversario della Repubblica italiana e io sono orgoglioso di esserne un nuovo membro». Così il comico Jimmy Kimmel su un palco di Los Angeles in occasione della Festa della Repubblica. «Tu hai il cervello di un criceto», ha aggiunto poi, in italiano, citando la nonna di origini campane e strappando una risata al pubblico.

00:00This is, in case you don't know, the 79th anniversary of the Italian Republic
00:05and I am proud to be a new member of it.
00:11Just got citizenship as my beloved grandmother, Edith,
00:15whose family came from Candida and Mano Casati,
00:18used to say to me,
00:20Io il cervello di un criceto.
00:25I don't know what it means, but she says to me all the time.
00:28I was fortunate enough to meet our wonderful friends from the Italian consulate,
00:34Raffaella, Lorenzo, and Emanuello,
00:36who helped to make our dream of becoming Italian citizens come true.
00:40And I am very grateful to them and for inviting us here tonight.
00:44My grandfather's family is from Ischia.
00:47His name was Sal Iacono, Iacono.
00:50His parents were Vincenzo Iacono and Maria Lombardi.
00:53They moved to New York after an earthquake killed most of their family
00:58and devastated their town, Casa Mitula, in 1883.
01:03And now we have moved the whole family to a town
01:05that is constantly threatened by earthquakes.
01:09One thing about our family, we never learn our lessons.
01:13Our whole family went back to visit Ischia and Naples 10 years ago,
01:19and it was a magical visit.
01:21We love Italy, we love Italian people,
01:24and now we are Italian people.
