I never liked the guy and I thought, being Italian, he was not representing my country but he was actually making us feel a bit ridicolous with the ROMA AC scarf and the Harry Potter look.

by Italian, you mean you were born in Philadelphia and have never left the US, but you eat a lot of pizza and two of your grandparents came from Italy? I don't see any actual Italian writing this.

If they never naturalized by the Italian law of Jure Singuinis one would be a dual American / Italian citizen even if he lives in Philly and never set foot on Italian soil. He could also get an Italian passport which then means he's a citizen of the EU and could live and work legally in any EU nation. [Thread Jack Over ]

For those who have no knowledge of roman mythology the picture is a wolf giving its milk to Romulus and Remus the founding children of Rome who were abandoned as babies in the wilderness. Wolves raised the children.

In Italy we jus call each team by their name without the actual corporate acronymous, therefore AC MILAN is MILAN, FC INTER MILAN is INTER or FC JUVENTUS is JUVENTUS.

TO be honest although I a huge football fan I would not know most of AC,FC or whatever for the majority of the teams...this DEFINITELY makes me Italian!

Hmm honestly when I saw Dario in the WSOP episodes he looked like the 16year old queer Italian version of Harry Potter. Nonetheless I don't know him in person and the people who I met that know him in person all said that he a nice guy, so I won't comment on him based on what I saw on ESPN (I know Rainkhan in person and I like him but if my opinion was only based on the WSOP airtime I would think he is an unfunny douche).
Dunno about Dario's SNG skillz in general but his cashgames and HU SNG abilities seem very low. I cannot understand how he can hold himself in the 5k HU SNGs. When I played with him he was just extremely bad. Maybe he has hidden skillz that I am not aware of

Levy is actually Italian, good to see an Italian defending his Nation!

Levy don't be ashamed if other countries make fun of our patriotism...
