I
grew up in a tough area of the Bronx and it gave me, young Calogero (my given name),
the life lessons that would later prove very useful to my career. I originally wrote the
script for the stage and performed it as a one-man show in Los Angeles and New York.
The story of A Bronx Tale still resonates. I think it is because it is a story about family.
A Bronx Tale was never meant to be a gangster story. It is a family story about my father
Lorenzo, the bus driver, and my mother Rosina, and how they kept me on path to make
the right choices in life. It was my father who used to say to me every day, “The saddest
thing in life is wasted talent. Don’t waste yours, son. Promise me.”
I am glad I kept my promise.
A Bronx Tale is dedicated to my mother and father, to my wife Gianna, and to my children,
Dante and Gabriella.
—Chazz Palminteri
