Lady Gaga understood that to be Patrizia reggiani, she had must act and speak like her. She did what any Italian grandchild would do: she ate a lot of pasta and bread to gain weight. This was much to the delight and surprise of all the ‘nonnas and ‘nonnis throughout Italy. She said that she was proud of her accomplishments. The Hollywood Reporter, “We had as much food as we possibly could have on the table to celebrate the good fortune that came from hard work and elbow grease.”
Lady Gaga wanted to ensure that she understood what it meant for her to be an Italian-American from Brooklyn and not an Italian-American from Milan. She explained. “I worked a lot on digging into my ancestry and kind of reversing the car, reverse assimilation. How do I get out of the Italian American thing and get myself into what it means to be an Italian woman?”
Sophia Loren once stated, “Another Italian big screen bombshell is Sophia Loren.” “Everything you see I owe to spaghetti” (per HuffPost). We say: “Buon appetito.”
