Coming Out Italian Style with Matty Maggiacomo

This week on Italian Bred: At The Table, Candice sits down with Peloton instructor and Theatre Buff Matty Maggiacomo for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation about growing up Italian, coming out in a big Italian family, and why no one is more dramatic - Broadway people or Italians. From moms blaming dads for their sons being gay, to “beards with little boobs,” smelling like sauce, Italian movie snacks, and finding acceptance through humor, Matty brings honesty, chaos, and nonstop laughs to the table. It’s an episode about family, identity, and the kind of love only an Italian mother can give — loud, emotional, and forever.
