Is there anything about Romano that you think should be more well-known?

I don’t see the immigrant side of his life portrayed all that often. He traveled to America for work during the Second Industrial Revolution. 

This arc adds a lot more depth to his character given that it reveals his willingness to take responsibility for himself and not be, well, lazy.

Admittedly, he did complain considerably while he lived at America’s house.

Nonetheless, he still did his work, and I think he took a lot from this experience.

Overall, this arc is wonderful in that it entails Romano’s growth as an individual. It wasn’t just about learning to take care of himself and work for a living; it was also about learning how to cooperate with others in a mutually-dependent relationship.
