Italian Americans: suggested book

Yo Capeesh! is a humorous, educational and sentimental guide to Italian Americans.

Author of ‘Yo Capeesh!’ is
Jim Caridi, M.D., an Associate Professor of Interventional Radiology at the University of Florida.
A third generation Italian American raised in New York, he credits much of his personal and professional success to multiple injections of heritage combined with a strong dose of humor.

Inside….
” ……You know you’re a paisan if…

  • You wear a gold chain with at least two medals, one of which is an Italian horn or hand.
  • Someone you know is a gavone.
    Your richest relatives are in the garbage business.
  • You never bought a pack of cigarettes that had a tax stamp on it. ….”

‘Yo Capeesh!’ is a dictionary for interpreting the pungent hyperbolic cliches and mysteries of Italian American culture.

“Caridi has done the virtually impossible, in a relatively short space he’s provided a sampling of an American sub-culture and made it fun reading.” Nancy Madison, Author of Romantic Suspense and Romantic Comedy
