About Anthony Ricci

Anthony immigrated from Italy to Mexico in 1996. He left his home country after personal issues with the Italian government. He moved to Mexico to stay with some friends he had who lived there, later on wanting to move to the United States to reunite with the rest of his family.

What problem(s) are you facing and what would you do to get away from it?

I am having many troubles moving from Mexico to America. The process is very difficult for me with speaking Italian

Did you have to leave anything/anyone behind when you immigrated?

Yes actually, I left behind most of my belongings and my loved ones such as my girlfriend and friends.

Were you discriminated against in any way after immigrating?

No, everyone was very accepting and really helped me adjust to my new community.

If you had the chance to go back to Italy, would you?

Yes, I love Italy and it is a huge part of my identity. I wouldn’t be who I was today without living in Italy
