I know we have many posters on this board who are expatriate Jacks.
Are there any living full time in Italy? I'd be interested to know. |  | | |  |

I know quite a few jacks of Italian descent but they were born here.
A bar in the village of Bardi has a Jack flag on display. When I was there we asked the owner to put on the Burnley game on and there were 10 of us watching.
We won 1-0 at Turf Moor. |  | | |

The Italian Jobbies?
Are you thinking of swapping Herefordshire for Tuscany? |  |

My mother is Italian but I was born in the great Mediterranean region of Morriston.
A lot of my family in Italy cheer for the Swans but have never been to a game. |  |

I remember having many friends of Italian parentage
Great people which gave Ssansea and the valleys a different culture and great ice cream ,cafe and restaurants
Great fun people | |

The idea is crossing my mind, shall we say.
And the current state of the club in all aspects is encouraging me to feckin emigrate. | | | |

Which bar, mate?
As you say, an awful lot of Jacks of Italian descent, me included.
A lot of the Italian families in South Wales hail from the Ceno Valley, of which Bardi is really the centre. Might explain the Swansea flag. |  | | |

Paolo's Bar. On the market place.
A couple of lads took the flag that we were given at the Capital Cup final.
Actually I was in there in August and it's no longer there. Paolo's an AC Milan fan
Must get him another. If he removes it it'll be horse's head time.
I should have said that I'm of an Italian descent and from a Bardi family.
I could name 8 season ticket holders who are also. [Post edited 9 Nov 2017 11:36]

Back in 2003 I was at an Internazionale match and the Italian bloke in front of me turned round and asked where I was from. I told him. He said “So am I”. His Italian parents had lived in Swansea in the 1960s but moved back.
Not a very interesting story but hey, I can’t use it anywhere else. | | | |

Used to be 4 Italian run cafes in the Bont, all long gone now unfortunately, including the legendary Aldo's that had 3 full size snooker tables out back. Loved that place; and Domachi's had the best ice cream. |  |

In which case, we might know each other. Or of each other, at least.
I also know of a lot of regulars at the Swans who belong to one of the Val Ceno families. | | | |

Is that the excellent Windsor Cafe of Cradock St off the Kingsway? If so many happy memories of going there as a kid with my parents and grandparents. | |

His names not Berni but his great grandfather was one of the original ones that came over from Italy. | |

Bonjourno..
Yes, I am a defendant of the Bernis
My grandmothers 2nd cousin was one of the brothers to start up the Berni inns.
All my family originate from Bardi
It’s on my bucket list to go there ... I’ll go to the pub and get a selfie [Post edited 10 Nov 2017 8:40]

Frank and Aldo Berni started Berni Inns. My Dad was a friend. I met Aldo once when I was a young lad.. He came to our house in a chauffeur driven Roller.
Go to Bardi during the summer hols. Most people will be speaking English with a Welsh accent.
All my relatives are there. Unfortunately in the family crypt! | | | |

My granddad was a friend of your granddad? Father? Not sure on the ages.
My great grandfather owned the dairy in Swansea (that later became Unigate), so knew all the Italian families as his milk was pretty useful for the ice cream :-) He was a good friend of Joe as well :-) [Post edited 9 Nov 2017 21:13]

My Dad opened the Burlington Restaurant in 1950. But he wasn't involved in the Windsor..
They may have known each other in the 50's, because Dad returned to Italy in 1960.
I remember Gomer Davies of Gower Creamery. A lovely guy and true gent. | | | |

Not sure which cafe / restaurant it was. Just remember him talking about someone with the same name as you.
My great grandad had the old Hafod dairy. It's probably been gone for decades now. I know it was Unigate later on. Not even sure where it was to be honest, | | | |
