- Summary:
- Born in Bari, Madonnella neighbourhood, aged 9, in the mid-sixties, he migrated with his family to the US and grew up like a true American. One day.

He never returned to Italy till the day when, at that point a professional taxi driver, an anti-immigration blitz at the Mexican border forced him to choose: jail in Arizona, or deportation to Italy for 10 years. His crime? Smuggling illegal migrants into the US, on board his taxi.Tony opts for deportation. Back in Italy, with his American dream laying in pieces, he's completely alone in what he defines "another planet", a small, still country with no opportunities.
