He left italy 40 years ago when he was child and he became American but he did some mistakes, more than one.

Now he was deported in a small town in South of Italy, and he has to wait ten years before he can return legally to US but ten years aren’t easy to live. The waiting time is too long and Italy is a country without hopes. For sure he can’t wait anymore.
