Cuban SandwichSee a retelling of Richard DiPietra’s childhood. This live performance by Richard and Mary Ellen DiPietra called “I am a Cuban Sandwich,” pays homage to Tampa’s historic Ybor City through live music and theater. Not the Ybor of today with its bar scene and late-night revels, but what Ybor was, before time and Interstate 4 cut through the heart of a very special place. DiPietra, a native of Tampa, looks back and blends his fond remembrances with stories to create an honest and touching look into the human experience of growing up—especially growing up in a melting pot that simmers with the smell of Spanish Bean Soup and fresh baked Cuban Bread—the kind that has a palm frond in it. DiPietra is quoted by saying ‘So I have Spanish, Cuban and Sicilian descendants in my family … and when people ask my nationality, I get a kick out of telling them I’m a Cuban Sandwich.’
