Thank you for posting these precise facts about his life. If I did use a wrong expression, would you excuse me? I love this artist so much and enjoy all the YT extracts.
Ezio Pinza not only emigrated to the U.S., he became a citizen. We call that: Italian American (an Italian who became an American). Btw, he was interned for three months in 1942 until Attorney General Biddle was convinced to give him a second hearing and he was realeased.
