In Jersey, I get some of the shade. But I have a hard time thinking of a Guido south of the Mason Dixon that hasn't been a do-er. Now, women from the West Bank are a totally different thing.

My neighbor in NOLA is Italian. I think he’s about 75 years old, dead as a door nail, huge gold chain w/ is initials as a pendant and rocks polyester like it’s going to be cancelled. His irrigation sprinkler froze overnight dirt the last freeze. Took him 2 days to notice it. That’s all I got for Italian in NOLA

My mother-in-law - RIP - was Italian. She said when she was a young adult that would have been in the early 50's, Italians were not allowed in the Baton Rouge Country Club. I know Country Clubs were and still to some extent are exclusive by nature, but this surprised me. I guess it should not have.
Same with Oak Knoll Country Club in Hammond.
My dad had hard feelings about it and would not agree to our request to join when we were growing up.

Wasn't there an episode about this in Mad Men? An Italian brand was evaluating Sterling Cooper's work and Don asks Roger "don't we have some Italians working here we could show off?"

Really?
I'm going to need some reparations for your people hanging my Italian people from trees and otherwise killing them for coming to Louisiana and taking the Irish jobs.
Uh...I'm pretty sure that's how this works, right?

This is where my great grandparents came from. My wife and sister in law has traced her family back to around 1600's in France, and my family back several generations in Palermo.

Great grandparents came
From Palermo Sicily in 1880’s to uptown NOLA & Irish Channel. Philip Tranchina, and I believe he had a grocery store uptown back In the day.
Family tree on that side is Sicilian and Portuguese. We must have 5-6 Felipe’s / Philip’s, and several Mary’s on the family tree. Had a Great Uncle Mickey that was a trip, was a walking comedian with a deep accent sounded like he was from the modern day Bronx.
Thank God I learned how To make red sauce and meatballs from Scratch, don’t use any store bought sauce and it never takes the same recipe. You just keep
Adding to it until It taste right.
Other side is Irish, German and French.
Most our family grew up in Irish Channel and a wild bunch, my cousin got me waisted at family Christmas party when I was 5 and none of the elders even noticed it until we of the night.
New Orleans really was THE melting pot
Of the USA and the “Jewel Of the South”. Mississippi River is a lifeline to the world in International Trade.
Should be the nicest city in the USA if it weren’t for crooked, banana republic leaders. Completely destroyed an International Treasure.
My only remaining grandparent is on my Siciklian/Irish side, she’s still Hanging on but not doing so well. She taught me so much growing up. She ran books for the NOLA POLICE chief way back in the day, Irish Police Chief, forget his name? but that was different times, wish I could have grown up during those Times from all
The stories I’ve heard, they had some interesting stories and a different way of life.
My Italian MawMaw was a hustler In the good sense of The word!

A lot of the Sicilians moved into northla and got into farming as well. Shreveport and Monroe have several old Italian restaurants opened by these folks. Still several families involved in farming also
My great-grandfather immigrated from Sicily and settled in Monroe
