You’re also successful if you’ve eaten a lot of cheese. And twice as successful if you also put cheese on your Italian foods (like parmesan on your spaghetti).
Are we certain that it is a dirt hill Wise *ss is sitting on top of? I think eating all those different food types in the comments would add to that hill.
With an Italian mother, aunts, sister, I guess I could say I had my quota of Italian food before leaving the nest. But, my wife and I learned how to make a lot of it, so piling goodness on top of goodness. Mangiare!
And that was only one example of the many ways we could say we had a good life. Things have gotten a lot better since Jan Hus, Wycliffe, Tyndale, and others like Kepler, Newton, Michael Faraday, GW Carver, the Wright brothers…
As long as that includes espresso then yeah! BTW Italian food is not a ton of pasta. It’s fresh fish, veggies, and fruit. Mediterranean and very hearty. Except the delights at the pasticiaria. OMG
