For Italian Americans
The Identity Between the Village and the Assimilation
Name the identity between the village and America.
For the Italian American person working through what it means to carry Italian identity — the regional villages, the Catholic faith, the immigrant waves, the specific character of Italian American culture — after generations in America
The Name It First Experience
Italian American identity has a specific texture — the food, the family, the Catholic faith, the specific regions (Sicilian, Neapolitan, Calabrese), the way Italian American culture became its own thing distinct from Italy. You may be several generations removed from the immigration. The identity is still there, still specific, still worth naming. This workbook is about naming what Italian American means to you — not the stereotype, but the actual inheritance. You leave with The Italian American Identity Map — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does Italian American mean in your family — the specific region, the food, the faith, the way it's been held?
- What do you love about your Italian American identity that you wouldn't trade?
- What would you name as your own Italian American identity — not the stereotype, the actual inheritance?
