While celebrating my mother-in-law's
85th birthday this past weekend, we spent some time looking through photos my sister-in-law
had included in a video she created for her mom.
As they are part of an Italian
Catholic family, many of the photos were from baptisms, first communions, and
other Catholic rites of passage.
When we came across a photo of
my husband's baptism, someone asked, "Who is that person in the photo? Who
is Tim's godfather?"
To be funny (and because I hate
silence), I was about to insert, "Vito Corleone” into the conversation, as
he is perhaps the most well-known, quintessential Italian godfather of all
time.
But before I could speak, my mother-in-law
blurted out, "My uncle, Gigi Pepe!"
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand
corrected. Gigi Pepe is unequivocally the most quintessential Italian godfather
of all time.
Can't make this stuff up,
Brutalism
