where did the story of zorro come from
Zorro Zorro (Spanish for "fox") is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional character created in 1919 by pulp writer Johnston McCulley. He is a Californio living in Los Angeles during the era of Mexican California (between 1821 and 1846),[1] although some movie adaptations of Zorro's story have placed him during the earlier Spanish rule.
Lillo Brancato Jr. Although he was born in Colombia, Brancato has said, "I consider myself Italian. I was raised to eat pasta".[5] Brancato was discovered in 1992, while swimming at New Yorkâ€™s Jones Beach, by a talent scout who noticed Brancato's resemblance to Robert De Niro.[6] Brancato was a fan of De Niro and impressed the scout with an impression of Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. This won him the role of De Niro's son in A Bronx Tale.[4]
