This I found in the paper of one of the towns in my area, since it sort of includes the DR (read the quotes below, click on the link for the full aritcle) I think it's appropriate for DR1.
"Ask Quintino Cianfaglione about Italian culture and he'll start listing some of the country's great artists and scholars."
"The Wethersfield man hopes his passion about his native country will help him win a seat in the Italian Parliament. For the first time this year, the political body in Rome will have representatives who work on behalf of Italians living abroad..."
"Italians living abroad have been fighting for more than 15 years to have representatives in the Italian Parliament, said Vincent Martino of Stamford, who left Italy in 1950."
"If elected, Cianfaglione would represent Italians living in...the Dominican Republic. The job would require him to spend 30 percent of his time in Rome and 30 percent in his community abroad, with the remaining 40 percent left for himself."
