It's quite different from Naples and the Southern Thyrrienian coast in general.
By the way, did your Grandpa operate in Brindisi? After the armistice it was the command center of all allied operations in Italy, IIRC.

I could understand a handful words of your Italian section, and they weren't when you said "Buona notte" My Italian was never great to begin with (I wouldn't even have classified it as "good") so I could only pick out random words here and there with no idea what you were actually saying.
When I turned on subtitles, though, I could pick out more words. (Hope you did well on your oral exam!)
I think I wasn't speaking with an accent in the Italian section, so it was easier to catch. You know, next time, I'll do a video of me speaking first with a light accent then slipping to full blown dialect It's another language

Which reminded me of this joke I heard a comedian tell about violence and video games. Something like, imagine if video games made you violent when we were kids.
kill kill KILL
~is that you Satan?
No it's me, Mario (in the fake Italian accent)
Anyways, I loved it. Let's hear American accent next
I'm not that good at American accents, but I'll try that next time too
Oh, by the way, I passed the exam (27/30)
Thanks for the support!

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
