Description
This work will attempt to offer a fresh perspective on Italian immigration from a family whose origins were predominantly northern. It will, hopefully, explain the events of their lives, in their views, which are unique and vastly different from today's perspectives. They now have all passed away, and with most of them, the stories, perspectives of time and events, and history of what they had to endure to become Americans. The last one in the author's family, Rosa Uguccioni Palazzi, died in 1985 at the very old age of almost ninety-five. This work will focus on the generation of U.S. citizens who were immigrants of the New Immigration, 1880-1920, and hence the first true New Americans.
