Eye-talian

Eye-talian
Italian, usually in reference to an Italian American or Italian American culture.

No, sir, lose your colonies, and youd have Eye-talian cities without their climate, Eye-talian lazaroni without their light hearts to sing over their poverty, (for the English cant sing a bit better nor bull frogs,) and worse than Eye-talian eruptions and volcanoes in politics, without the grandeur and sublimity of those in natur.
