Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Hello, if you have read any of my posts regularly, you know I am the leader of a family on here and I am very in support of having a little Italy in one or more of the cities of identity. I feel like now is a good time to reach out to the developers while the game is still being developed. These are some reasons why I think there should be a little italy: -Roseport is partly based off New York which has a huge Italian population and little italy. Just like the rest of the east coast u.s. -It would be a great spot to put some Italian restaurants and themed businesses. It would add more culture to the city it's in and make it feel more alive. -it would be a good spot for organized crime families to operate out of and fight for control of. If you look at the hideout section, you can see that the highest proportion of gangs on the forums are Italian mafia based, with bikers being not far off. It would make sense to have a little Italy. Now this little italy wouldn't have to be huge, but maybe just a small block with a handful of Italian themed businesses like pizzerias, cafes, a restaurant and maybe a tailor/clothing/shoe store, and maybe have some Italian flags and /or fire hydrants painted like the Italian flag. It's just something I hope the devs consider if they are stuck with what to put in a certain part of the city and want to put something different. Forza Bari, Forza Italia!

Posted November 11, 2016 I second this. A Little Italy would encourage serious roleplay and give Italian OC a chance to thrive without the interference of street gangs or cartels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So much great roleplay and stuff can come out of it. If anything its a good place for regular citizens to come, eat something, take in some culture, and try and spot a mobster or two.

If it's a joint belonging to a really sleazy wiseguy, the sausage isn't always made out of pork 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for real most Italians are really clean, and to me, authentic Southern Italian food is the best cuisine out there.

If your looking for spice on your pasta, then you aren't eating good pasta (sauce). Regardless, for some extra spice, you can always add some homemade hot pepper oil.
