Non-Italians

edit

Another thing about the feast is how there is way too many non-italians there. I hate walking down Mulberry Street and having hispanics, asians, african-americans, and pretty much every nationality besides Italian there. They should only let us Italians in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crew90 (talkcontribs) 20:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Problems!

edit

The article on the Feast of San Gennaro is "America-centric." Having lived in Naples Italy and having helped celebrate the Feast of San Gennaro, this festival is important to Italian Catholics. This needs to be noted. As a starting point, see www.portanapoli.com/Eng/Culture/blood_miracle.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwbutton (talkcontribs) 00:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

As previously noted, the Feast of San Gennaro does not only occur in US!! Obviously the festival there derives from that celebrated 3 times annually in Naples in honor of the 3rd century (!) saint, when, famously, his blood in the cathedral named in his honor miraculously liquefies as the wikipedia article on San Gennaro (i.e. Saint Janarius) discusses. So no it certainly did not begin in the 1920s like this page claims. Plus the very date of the 19th of September is a Roman Catholic feast day so how in the world was it invented by New Yorkers?? This page needs a total re-haul. Also one of the previous discussion comments I find to be racist. (I say all this being an Italian-American New Yorker myself, incidentally).

Godfather II

edit

I think the comment about the Feast of San Gennaro taking place in Godfather II is incorrect. I believe it was the Feast of San Rocco. Remember, the Feast takes place in 1917, before the commencement of the Feast of San Gennaro in New York, which occurred in 1926. It is 1917 that Vito Corleone and friend go to see that play in which friend's love is interrupted by the sight of Don Fanucci, who is, in due course, killed by Vito Corleone. In 1917, Vito Corleone is 26 (he was 9 in 1901, when he arrives in the U.S.); in 1926, he would have been 35; also we are told by Hyman Roth he made loads of money during Prohibition (1920-1933)Rostamangel (talk) 09:50, 19 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

NPOV

edit

"Today it is a loud, dirty, commercial event, dreaded by the people who live in the neighborhood." Come on, this is not NPOV or very encyclopedia-ish. Sowelilitokiemu (talk) 13:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
