Wait my parents were both Sicilian immigrants and they pushed us into the library and never would have refused anything involving education. Education in fact was the most important thing to them,

Aci Castello is north of Catania. I thought the majority of immigrants came from the west of Sicily rather than the east.

I could be wrong though.
