Nicolás Tagliafico Visits a Family Pastry Shop in Genoa

I'll show you something surprising.

Yes, Mr. Tagliafico opened a pastry shop for me in Genoa a long time ago, and it's going really well. Well, let's go see it.

I'll show him my passport and say, “Young man.”

I imagine they'll give me everything for free.

Hey, this place is packed, man. My pastry shop is doing so well.

Hey, is Don Carlitos Tagliafico here? Welcome, welcome.

Thank you, have a good day.

Argentina, so you're Italian. The soccer player.

Argentina. I am... Pietro. I'm Pietro. The photo. Oh, the photo.

Everything with him. Yes, yes, yes. Good Lord, he always texts me.

But do you see this? Yes. Look at that channel!

One moment. Let's go meet the— our own, here, Tagliafico.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

But if it is— if you are, because we're there.

Argentinians. Mario Ampito. Tagliafico. The Taliafico family's a real mess.

Several went to Argentina, some went to Córdoba, others went to Uruguay.

In '34, I lived there for only a short time. Yes, yes.

Only two hours. The pastry shop is coming, huh.

125 people. Wow! There's the family tree.

Eugenia and Francesca. Serafini, Bernardo, Antonio, Mom.

Let's take photos. You're a celebrity. No, you are too.

It's an honor for me. A child, a child comes here and says: "But are you related to the soccer player?"

He said, "Aah!" He's happy. I tell him that next time I'll bring him an Argentina jersey.

Next time, tell him about Lasio— Next time, I'll leave him aaad— The shirt. Shirts.

Oh, give it to him!

Thanks so much. Bye. Bye, bye. Byeee. How lovely, right, love?

Like— For good luck. From Sampdoria. The little bag needs more things from Tagliafico too.

Well, no, we're a little short on time. Juancho likes being able to come now.

Well, we've made it to the airport. Great trip.

We wrapped it up really nicely by learning a little bit about the Taliafico family.

I was a little embarrassed being there, trying to understand.

I know quite a bit of Italian, but can't speak it...

I feel awkward too. But well, I liked it, I really liked it... having made it here, having met one of the Taliaficos.

I think he's among the oldest still here, but the family tree is huge.

Later I'll try to look through photos or try talking to my dad to see how we can piece it back together, to figure out who the ones were who came from Italy to Argentina and all those people the gentleman told me about.
