Little Italy San Diego
Приєднався 10 жов 2012
San Diego’s Little Italy is different; a stable ethnic business and residential community, since the 1920′s. Little Italy, today, represents Downtown San Diego’s oldest continuous-neighborhood business district. At one time, more than 6,000 Italian families lived in Little Italy and toiled to build San Diego into the center of the world’s tuna industry.
With the decline of the tuna industry and the destruction of 35% of Little Italy due to the construction of I-5; Little Italy suffered nearly thirty years of decline. In the 1990′s, property owners and family-run business owners decided to take their fate into their own hands.
The Little Italy Association has been working for over 20 years with Italian American and non-Italian business owners, as well as creative architects and developers to make Little Italy a model neighborhood. San Diego’s Little Italy is not only a model urban neighborhood for San Diego, but is also a model for a handful of Little Italys throughout the country.

Dedication of Piazza Costanza
The Little Italy Association of San Diego (LIA) officially unveiled a brand
new 2,000 square foot public piazza, Piazza Costanza, on Tuesday,
November 28th at the corner of Columbia and W. Ash Streets adjacent
to Luma Luxury Apartments. The community was invited to attend
and celebrate the opening of Little Italy’s newest, and first piazza
dedicated to a woman with San Diego leaders, sponsors, and
community members. Piazza Costanza honors Margaret “Midge”
Costanza, daughter of Sicilian immigrants, Costanza was a social
and political activist who served as a top advisor and the first
female assistant to President Jimmy Carter. The dedication included
commencement words from dignitaries, community leaders, and
friends, as well as the unveiling ceremony with a special performance,
refreshments and hors d’oeuvres.
The ceremony started with a special musical performance leading
into opening remarks from LIA’s Chief Executive Administrator,
Marco Li Mandri, followed by close friends from her professional
career and personal life, and blessing by Our Lady of the Rosary’s
Father Joe Tabigue.
“The Little Italy Association has been working with close friends of
Midge’s for a few years to bring this dedication and Piazza to fruition.
Midge contributed so much to San Diego along her professional
journey and was a huge supporter of San Diego’s Little Italy. With the
dedication, we were honored to have our newest piazza be the first
piazza to be dedicated to a woman, and such an important figure in
our community and a friend of Little Italy,” said Marco Li Mandri,
chief executive administrator of the Little Italy Association. “The
Association has been focused on curating dynamic piazzas in our
neighborhood that honor the rich history of Little Italy and the
contributions of Italians, creating an environment that welcomes
residents and visitors to sit and take in the beautiful ambience. These
piazzas have become a staple of what our neighborhood is known for.”
Known for her wit, outspoken manner, and commitment to her
convictions, she fought for the rights and dignity of all people,
particularly women, the LGBTQ community, and other marginalized
groups. The daughter of Sicilian immigrants Midge Costanza became the first City councilwoman in Rochester, New York in 1973. She later
rose to become the first female assistant to a U.S. President. Midge
moved to San Diego in the 1980s where she was active in numerous
organizations and issues. She had the rare ability to bring together
people with different viewpoints to accomplish a shared civic goal. In
honor of her outstanding service, Piazza Costanza includes a monument
with a bronze bust sculpture of Midge Costanza, custom planters with
quotes from her with enhanced landscaping, hanging flower baskets,
and tables and chairs with umbrellas.
Major contributors to the project included the Lennar Corporation,
State of California, County of San Diego, Joan and Irwin Jacobs, the
Spoon-Wallace Family, Marco and Laura Li Mandri and Family, Laurie
Black and The Lawrence Family, Joe Vecchio, and Bonnie Dumanis
and Denise Nelesen.

It’s from Argentina Not Italy amigo
Pallino not ballino!
Glad he's calling it a game and not a sport
But now in 2024 and Chicago is a complete shit hole
You can have the 100 I'll take the 20 for a vape
Wait is it pronounced Buhcchi or Bahcchi?
It’s a fun game ! The woman talking is Mexican not Italian
Where I'm from the small ball is called a bouccini. I'm from Valdese, NC originally. It was founded by a group of Waldensians from the Alps.
2:06... why inhale helium then talk ? Perfect without the comical ending.
It's unfortunate that things like this are finding less and less interest in the younger generations. As i write this I'm watching 3 generations of my family enjoying a game my father was taught by his father a sicilian immigrant who cried when he reached ellis island.
I feel you. Sports are good for the mind, and good for the body. Tech has it's place, but we lack balance very much. We are not computers. Computers are tools, not life.
I didn't know this game, but it seems to me similar to billiards and bowling, here in Mexico, a combination of both. As a child my father taught us to play something very similar to this and the truth was very fun
Una extraña cruza de billar con golf...
Only 100 spots lol
Pretty sure John Falcone has broken knee caps
Tjkrthika😊
I WANT TO PLAY WITH HER. I AM NOT ITALIAN, AND WHEN I PLAY WITH THEM, I BEAT THEM. LOVE THIS GAME.
Are you allowed to hit the sides? My understanding that DQs the ball.
what area of New York is John Falcone from? The accent gives it away
Thanks For Info Cheers
i dunno... i would rather play horseshoes.
{.|.};;>.><
This is very similar to playing pétanque like they do in France.
I believe they are all descended from a Roman game so it would make sense they share a lot of similarities.
fancy costco experience
Do they do italian mass services??
I just found out I have a bit of Italian ancestry and now I want to play Bocce
Cool. How long is a "regulation" court?
90 feet
@@bigisrick thank you. wow, that's long
@@freakinfrugal5268 man....If I had a nickel
“Revenge is a ball best served rollled”
rotflmao! You got that right!
Mr Shadow Classic Till I Die cover in Amici Park
<3
I use to watch to old people play this in a park in corona queens. I always wanted to play but they never let me lol.
NYC Italians is a members only club 😂 Especially the old heads.
@@TheSublimeLifestyle It was back in the 90s when I was a kid and the old italians of that time definitely said no lol
So Italy has bocce and France has pétanque which is played with steel “boules” as they’re called same rules of the game only differences is in pétanque you are not allowed to move your legs you must shoot in standing position
Curling. No ice
A
I just retired and will start playing this! I’m also: roller skating, boogie boarding-lol! I used to watch all the older Italian men in Lake County, CA play this!
That was Great..."WELL DONE", Thanks.
A festive masterpiece! It was an honor to work with your team as the drone op on this project.
Very very nice. Great work with the video editing and the aerial video!!! Buon Natale!!!!
I'm introducing it into my Physical Education class.
I think that’s AWESOME! And you can throw a little history in with it!
I would actually play this
I grew up playing it as a kid in grass. We'd go to different parks to mix up the terrain kind of like golf. It's a life time game!
I know what to do when I'll be in my 60s
Like playing chess or checkers? Come on.
"Bocce Ball" is redundant
How do we get to play? Do they have a sign up sheet or organized teams. Never played but now live here and am interested.
How about NYC Little Italy church ?
