point

Nur weil Antonio Di Vicino häufig eine Zitronenlimonade bestellte, wurde er »lemon« genannt, Vincenzo Benitozzi verdankte seinem rundlichen Gesicht den Spitznamen »Ciccio-bello« (Puppe), Gennaro Lauro war vielleicht wegen seiner Hausnummer »‘o diciasette« (siebzehn), Giovanni Apreas Großvater spielte 1974 in Pasquale Squitieris Film I guappi (Die Rache der Camorra) den alten Camorristen, der die guappi, den Nachwuchs der Camorra, im Messerwerfen trainierte, und deshalb wurde er zu »punt ‘e curtiello« (Messerspitze).
All it took for Antonio Di Vicino to become lemon was to order the same drink several times. Vincenzo Benitozzi’s round face earned him the name Cicciobello or fat boy, and Gennaro Lauro became ‘o diciassette, perhaps because his street number was 17. And Giovanni Aprea was punt ‘e curtiello—puntare il coltello or point the knife—because his grandfather played the role of an old Camorrista who teaches the boys to use a knife in Pasquale Squitieri’s 1974 film I guappi.
