Why did most Italians leave Italy to come to New York?
Family, opportunity, and tradition are reasons why most Italians left Italy to come to New York.
Specifically, family, friends, and relatives who already had made the trans-Atlantic crossing encouraged those whom they had left behind to join them in New York's Italian-speaking neighborhoods. The chance to accumulate money, become a property-owner, get an education, and provide for children and descendants functioned as another incentive for emigrating from the Italian homeland. The continuing of the practice of establishing Italian-speaking communities in the New World served as yet another inspiration for Italians to exchange "old" Italy for the "new" Italian Americas opened up by Christopher Columbus's (August 26-October 31, 1451? - May 20, 1506) giant, trans-Atlantic leap for humankind in 1492.

Although the first Roman aqueduct was commissioned in 312 BCE, the Romans weren't the first to use the technology. The Etruscans and the Greeks before them were using water management systems long before Rome was even conceived. While the Assyrians were building aqueducts in the 8th century BCE, even they may have learned the technique from the Turks or the Iranians during military campaigns.
So the answer is we don't really know for sure. The Romans may well have invented the Roman aqueduct, but the aqueduct itself was known to have existed long before Rome existed, so they didn't actually invent the technology -- they used an existing technology and popularised it throughout the Roman empire.
