Here's a painting of an old, dead ancestor by the name of Jacopo de Strada, 1567-1568. He may or may not have actually been an ancestor, but it's a whole lot cooler if we pretend that he is. He must be. I mean look at the similarities:
I am quite pleased that Italy won as I would have had a much more difficult time connecting myself to a French ancestor. I have a congenital, primal urge to connect myself to greatness and great events. The difficulty in identifying myself as French would have arisen from these facts:
1. I don't have any French relatives
2. I don't like the French. I've heard that they eat their babies. As I am a baby, I would have been quite conflicted about claiming to be of French descent.
