Arrivederci!

This is farewell, at least for now. It was truly fun blogging about Neapolitan restaurants throughout South Jersey. I always wanted to dive deeper into the topic that I wondered about for so many years. It is has really been a blessing for all you to allow me to teach you about my Neapolitan heritage and how it is prominent here in South Jersey. Diego Maradona, one of the greatest soccer players of all time, and Argentine by birth but one of city of Naples’ favorite sons once said, “We’re not Italians, were Neapolitans.” That is why their are territorial racism laws in Italy that protect Neapolitan people from abuse from other Italians. But that enough Neapolitan lecturing from me, because this blog as taught me a lot. My Q&A with Antonio Aiello was my first interview and while I was nervous, it prepared me for what was coming. It prepared me for some field reporting when I went to take pictures to create interactive Thinglinks for the picturesque Napoli Pizza Grill in Galloway. I also learned to research better for additional links to supplement my blog readers with more material, I really enjoyed this when I got to share with you the history behind Neapolitan pizza culture. When we had to begin social distancing that gave the opportunity to write a post about my sister, someone who is very important to me that I felt deserved a lot of credit for how she dealt with this situation during her senior year of high school. That audio profile also helped me develop better editing techniques that I believe will help in the future. Having used everything I learned I was able to write my final post about how a family establishment still is able to operate during these times of social distancing thanks to the support of their customers. This blog has taught me many technical but more importantly personal skills that will help further me in my career.
