My grandmother was exactly this way. Formal living room covered in plastic you weren’t able to enter. Ever. Personally, I think it was because red sauce is so stinking hard to get out of anything it has been spilled upon. When my dad married my mom (not a wop), she put an end to that tradition. Thankfully, grandma taught mom how to make an excellent red sauce.

It has been a long time since I've been surrounded in a kitchen with a bunch of Italian women cooking, but I do not ever recall hearing the term gravy. My ancestors are from Pescara.
On a side note, can you tell me why, every time I use the quotation tab to reference what someone has said, it puts a > in front of it?

I have never heard red sauce called gravy.
Thankfully, my mother taught the recipe to my wife.

Yeah, that's kinda' weird, but I know exactly what you're talking about. When I was a small child, back in the 1960's, we had a new house built. It was a nice house, it would probably cost a million dollars today. When one walked in the front door, there was a room just like that. It was a room that was almost never used. It was furnished with very nice furniture. There was even a piano in there. A piano that no-one ever played...

I'm glad to hear that and yeah, lots of plastic. Did you know the largest mass lynching in the U.S was in Louisiana of eleven Italians falsely accused of shooting a police officer?

Yes. It was a neighborhood kid named Dominick, his mother's living room was all matching red velvet and dark oak furniture, and there were plastic slipcovers on everything, including the lampshades. Dominick figured himself to be the upcoming neighborhood stud, he was always working on his clothing and appearance. Generally he was an OK guy.
EDITED TO ADD: They also had a large matador painting on black velvet, which was the style at the time.

Three subject types dominated the black velvet painting scene at the time: Elvis, matadors, and sad clowns.

I think it's just an older immigrant thing. People who had nothing before they moved here were obsessed with preserving what they had. Actually kinda admirable considering the throw away society we live in now.

They all had show living rooms, show dining rooms, and show kitchens on the main floor. The real action was in the basement. And they all had pantries that could last a year.
