Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the rich heritage of Milwaukee's Italian families, who immigrated in large numbers seeking better economic opportunities at the turn of the 19th century. They established vibrant neighborhoods, with distinct groups from various regions of Italy, contributing to the city's cultural tapestry. Initially employed in diverse roles, from railroad workers to shopkeepers, their descendants now hold significant positions in various sectors, including business and politics. The Italian Community Center and Festa Italiana highlight the ongoing celebration of their traditions.
