Excerpts From My Autibiography! Reply

Romeo And Juliette's Balcony!

The whole five of us were traveling by tourist bus from Florence Italy to Verona and we stopped at a paved parking area and were made to get off the bus.

To put this in perspective, this was September 1970 and I was 15 years old. Dad was 50 years old back then. He was born in 1920 on Ponza and I was born in 1955 at Central Maternity Hospital Bronx.

The tour guide spoke in broken English and said that the balcony that we were looking at was the real one owned by the real Juliette, the real woman whom the poet Shakespeare wrote his historic play "Romeo And Juliette" about.

The local Italian historical society and tourism agency had proclaimed that this was the real original balcony that Juliette had stood upon and called out, "Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Right then while the tour guide was speaking to the crowd of tourists, on another nearby balcony a gorgeous young woman, still wearing her sexy black chiffon nightgown in the mid morning Sun, had begun to water her plants on her own private balcone. She had no bra on and you could see her right through her see through sheer gown. We could see everything! I beheld the sight and poked my Dad Ivio Mazzella who peeked and then said out loud, "WHAT A BALCONY!!" and began to laugh.

This caused the entire bus load of tourists to break up in total laughter. Dad wasn't talking about Juliette's balcony. He was talking about that young woman's cleavage.

We then boarded the bus. I was the last one on and I turned around in the step well of the bus and said to the tour guide and bus driver, "Men, it is onto Mantua!" and the tour guide laughed at my silly Shakespeare quote.

There were no horses to ride to Mantua in 1970.
