Still, it's more of a cultural thing. Most men in Italy don't have facial hair, mafia or not.
Exactly. And I think it extends to Italian Americans as well.
Most young men that I grew up with frowned at facial hair and looked down at the hippies who wore beards back in the '60s and '70s.
I've never worn a beard or mustache in my life, and being that I'm almost 53, it's not likely that I'm going to grow one from here on out.
