Why is Diego nickname for Italians?
actually it"s Dago, and is derogatory ( in Plus Ultra!) Diego is actually a Spanish name, not used by Italians, even in Argentina, which has a large Italian population bloc. There were and are large concentrations of Italian-Americans in California and since San Diego is a major city there, that must be the connection. Explorer Christopher Columbus had a son named Diego, this is , of course when he was operating under the Spanish flag! Some prenames are common to both languages such as Maria and Fernando ( Columbus" male sponsor, King Ferdinand, it always called Fernando Rey ( Fernando, the King!) in Spanish. Fernanda is a female Italian name -one of Gina"s sisters. The connection with San Diego and also the son of Columbus seem to tie-in the odd misniomer of Dago for Italian!

What happened in naples-foggia?
Naples-Foggia is a campaign that was fought in Italy in which a US soldier or unit can receive credit for the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (or EAME medal). The objective of the Naples-Foggia campaign was to land Allied troops, both US and British, on the mainland of Italy and to capture a major port and airfields. The campaign included 3 different amphibious operations. Operation BAYTOWN -3 Sept 1943 - UK landed on southern tip of Italy. Operation SLAPSTICK - 1 Sept 1943- UK landed at Taranto. Operation AVALANCHE - 9 Sept 1943 - US and UK troops landed at Salerno, just south of Naples. The British troops advanced along the east coast of Italy and met little resistance. The US landing was on the west coast and the Germans moved units in to resist the operation. The Allies advanced north and captured Naples and began to prepare it as a re-supply base. The British troops advanced to Foggia, located just above the "heel" of Italy, where they captured existing airfelds. Within a few weeks, Allied bombers moved into the Foggia airfields and it eventually became the home of many of the bombers of the 15th Army Air Force. Foggia airfields placed these bombers within striking range of targets in Germany & Austria and the oil fields in Rumania. If you are researching a veterans service records and you have a copy of his discharge papers, it may list "NAPLES-FOGGIA" as a campaign credit on the form.
What are some favorite sites to see in Hawaii?
Depends what island; if you are on the main island see Pearl Harbor or go to Waikiki beach. Also making a trip to the Dole plantation is very interesting. Renting a car is overrated; the bus was pleasant and provided a great tour of the island. Also make a trip to north shore and check out the turtles it's a good time. Parasailing and spear fishing were great fun also I heard that swimming with dolphins proved to be of great entertainment. That's just stuff to do during the day.
