@largolegato Ohhh, what a witty reply.... after all, one could not expect any better from someone capable of such idiotic and racist an equation as Puccini=Italian=Mafia...

@VoceCorale I would like to end by pointing out what some of the comments have already said: Puccini's way of speaking here is very emphatic, it's a speech, it's not Italians' normal way of speaking.
-
@VoceCorale And here's my translation (I hope it's not that bad):
"I would like to thank with all my heart the distinguished Mr. Viafora for his kind words. I am really grateful to New York's great audience for its enthusiastical reception of my operas. I accept your wish of bon voyage and end by saying aloud: America forever!"
And, of course, "America Forever" is the exchange between Lt. Pinkerton and the American Consul, Sharpless, in Act I of Madama Butterfly.
