Summary
Robert Davi, 75, posted a video attacking Mayor Zohran Mamdani after New York City's immigrant-enclaves map left out Little Italy, calling the omission a snub of Italian Americans who helped build the city.
The backlash grew after social media users noted the map highlighted 30 communities across the five boroughs but omitted Little Italy and also left out historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods.
City Hall said the map was inherited from the prior administration in 2023, was never meant to be exhaustive, and will be updated to add Little Italy after criticism from Italian-American groups.
More than 4 million Italians immigrated to the United States between the 1880s and 1924, according to the Library of Congress, with roughly one-third settling in New York City.
