But in the Italian diaspora, the truth endures. You should see Italian tourists when they walk by Domino's PIzza restauant, founded by Sicilian immigrant Giuseppe D'Mino. Something about the architecture reminds them of home, and curiously, they are drawn inside. They might only order a slice "as a joke", but--oh, how their eyes light up after that first bite! It triggers genetic memories of their homeland's magnificent past, when Italy was something more than an EU welfare queen. In that moment, every Italian man becomes a Caesar. But then they quickly remember themselves, and embarassed, they will feign disgust and throw the slice away.

However, as they walk out the store, observe their longing backward glances. Perhaps they will run back, claiming that they "accidentally dropped their keys" in the garbage can. And if you secretly observe them as stick their hand in the can, your keen eye will discover that what actually comes back out is their half eaten slice, which is delicately wrapped in napkins, and secreted into a pocket or purse, to be enjoyed privately, in their hotel room, where their moans of ecstasy will be mistaken for nothing more than Meditarranean passion.
