"A ccu apparteni?" , Whom do you belong to ? 
it's an old sicilian way for asking foreign people their identity. It questions not a "where" you belong but "whom", as to highlight that a person without his "tribe" cannot define his own self without belonging to his traditions, language, values. 

This work is my personal tribute to my own belongings and it wanst to represent all the people that have left their own countries, with their loneliness and their proudness, to all the "uprooted" of any time and latitude.

Matteo Lane Returns and talks Comedy & Growing Up Italian

Restless soul from the South, Roberta's background has deep roots in the heart of Sicily, where she's born. 
Growing up listening to the masters of Italian songwriting of 70s/80s, she approaches folk music as dancer at teenage , ending up singing -eventually, gaining nice experiences with her first folk group, Compagnia Triskele.

The curiosity of learning more about music, lands her on jazz fields: in this brief but intense period, she focuses on harmony and composition, starting writing her own songs: in Destini Coatti you can feel the school she mastered at, with eclectic use of harmony, rhythm and styles, her cynic but ironic approach to life, the look at weirdos, outcasted people.

Step into the heart of Brooklyn and right into the lively Italian home of the Growing Up Italian trio—Rocco, Sabino, and Michela! These three first-generation Italians are serving up laughs, love, and lots of culture straight from Williamsburg. They started this podcast to bring the Italian community together, celebrate their roots, and keep the traditions alive—from Nonna’s recipes to classic family debates.

Each Sunday, they’re dropping a brand new episode packed with fresh takes on the Italian lifestyle, featuring hilarious stories, real talk, and special guests from all corners of the Italian world. Whether you’re sipping espresso or stuck in traffic, you’re officially invited to the table. Mangia, laugh, and stay connected—because being Italian is more than just a culture, it’s a vibe.
