If there would ever be a Walk of Fame down the streets of The Hill, you can bet Marjorie Amighetti’s name would be on the short list. She’s mostly English and a little Scandinavian and Irish as well. The blood that runs through Mrs. Amighetti is absolutely 0% Italian.

Still, after decades of giving The Hill her all, 92-year-old Mrs. Amighetti’s heart beats with an Italian accent. “I’m like Tony Bennett. He left his heart in San Francisco. I left my heart on The Hill,” she told 5 On Your Side during an interview for an Abby Eats St. Louis podcast episode.
