Usa 2020, portrait of Jill Biden: the teacher of Italian origin who could become the new first lady

“When I was little we spent every Sunday with my grandparents. We ate spaghetti and meatballs and the house smelled of basil and tomatoes.” Words and memories of Jill Biden, wife of the Democratic candidate for president of the United States Joe Biden. English teacher, Jill has Italian origins: her paternal grandfather was in fact Sicilian. His surname, Jacob, was anglicized to ‘Jacobs’ upon his arrival on Ellis Island, New York.
