Book Synopsis South Philadelphia's Little Italy and 9th Street Italian Market by : Michael DiPilla
Download or read book South Philadelphia's Little Italy and 9th Street Italian Market written by Michael DiPilla and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first Italian moved to the area near Catherine Street around 1798, it was mostly forest and field. It was considered Irishtown by the early residents. By 1852, an Italian church had been established for the community, and from the advent of mass migration beginning in 1876 grew Philadelphia's Little Italy. The original neighborhood was bound by the area from Sixth Street to Eleventh Street and Bainbridge to Federal Streets. Many of the early families--Baldi, Pinto, and Fiorella--established businesses in the area that continue today. Other beautiful buildings still left standing are remnants of the once thriving banking industry in this little neighborhood. As time progressed, the market expanded beyond its local neighbors. Italians throughout Philadelphia developed their own Little Italy communities to the north, west, and farther south of the original boundaries.

Book Synopsis Staying Italian by : Jordan Stanger-Ross
Download or read book Staying Italian written by Jordan Stanger-Ross and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their twin positions as two of North America’s most iconic Italian neighborhoods, South Philly and Toronto’s Little Italy have functioned in dramatically different ways since World War II. Inviting readers into the churches, homes, and businesses at the heart of these communities, Staying Italian reveals that daily experience in each enclave created two distinct, yet still Italian, ethnicities. As Philadelphia struggled with deindustrialization, Jordan Stanger-Ross shows, Italian ethnicity in South Philly remained closely linked with preserving turf and marking boundaries. Toronto’s thriving Little Italy, on the other hand, drew Italians together from across the wider region. These distinctive ethnic enclaves, Stanger-Ross argues, were shaped by each city’s response to suburbanization, segregation, and economic restructuring. By situating malleable ethnic bonds in the context of political economy and racial dynamics, he offers a fresh perspective on the potential of local environments to shape individual identities and social experience.

Book Synopsis Italian Immigrants in Philadelphia 1926 by : Robert DiSpaldo
Download or read book Italian Immigrants in Philadelphia 1926 written by Robert DiSpaldo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1926 Philadelphia was a haven for immigrants looking for a better life. Philadelphia had the reputation as the manufacturing center of the nation and the world. Immigrants that came to Philadelphia settled in neighborhoods where people from their own countries lived. The immigrants strived to assimilate by learning the language and the ways of the United States. They believed they should keep the traditions of their mother countries and not to forget where they came from and how they once lived. The immigrants had one common goal, to achieve the promise that America offers, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Robert DiSpaldo has written a story inspired by his memories growing up in an Italian family in South Philadelphia. Combining tales his father and mother told him and his own experiences makes this story authentic. The summer of 1926 Philadelphia was the host for the Sesquicentennial Exposition, a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Joey Nocelli a nine-year old Italian boy saw exhibits displaying other cultures from around the world. Seeing these exhibits Joey realized the way other people lived was very different from his own way of life. The summer of 1926 Joey learned that boys and girls where different from Carmela the girl next door. Joeys father Giovanni made wine for his own family and friends to share. Prohibition was the law of the land. One day Giovanni was confronted by evil men called the Black Hand interested in his home made wine. In 1926 radio was a source of entertainment if you had electricity. Homes were heated with coal that was stored in the basements. An illness called diphtheria would warrant a quarantine and separate families for months. Joeys coming of age journey begins when he climbs in a Hole in the Ceiling in an alley between row houses.

Book Synopsis Little Italy in the Great War by : Richard N. Juliani
Download or read book Little Italy in the Great War written by Richard N. Juliani and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War challenged all who were touched by it. Italian immigrants, torn between their country of origin and country of relocation, confronted political allegiances that forced them to consider the meaning and relevance of Americanization. In his engrossing study, Little Italy in the Great War, Richard Juliani focuses on Philadelphia’s Italian community to understand how this vibrant immigrant population reacted to the war as they were adjusting to life in an American city that was ambivalent toward them. Juliani explores the impact of the Great War on many immigrant soldiers who were called to duty as reservists and returned to Italy, while other draftees served in the U.S. Army on the Western Front. He also studies the impact of journalists and newspapers reporting the war in English and Italian, and reactions from civilians who defended the nation in industrial and civic roles on the home front. Within the broader context of the American experience, Little Italy in the Great War examines how the war affected the identity and cohesion of Italians as a population still passing through the assimilation process.

Book Synopsis The Siege Of Venice by : Jonathan Keates
Download or read book The Siege Of Venice written by Jonathan Keates and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siege of Venice in 1848 is one of history's most thrilling and tragic episodes. After half a century of Habsburg imperial rule, the Venetians drove out the occupying army and established their own republic. Led by the Jewish lawyer Daniele Manin, a man of immense courage and personal integrity, they embraced the lofty values of the Risorgimento, Italy's struggle for national unity, freedom and justice. When the Austrians returned with a massive army, intent on recapturing Venice, Manin rejected their surrender demands. The city braced itself for a siege lasting more than a year, ending only when bombardment, cholera and starvation made further resistance impossible. This epic story, in Jonathan Keates's gripping and meticulously-researched account, embraces the wider world of the revolutionary Italy of Garibaldi, Mazzini and Pope Pius IX, warrior priests, militant actresses, death-or-glory poets, a Mata Hari-type siren spy and a rebel princess. At the centre of the whole crowded canvas, however, stand the truest heroes of all - the people of Venice. Their grit, humour and endurance, under a hail of bombs and a tide of blood sweeping across their once peaceful lagoon, make The Siege of Venice a profoundly touching and unforgettable book.
