Title A name given to the resource Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper Description An account of the resource During this period fiction, poetry and drama ranged from the sensational urban “mysteries” of Bernardino Ciambelli (never translated into English) to the arguably more literary and certainly more political fiction of Ezio Taddei. Unlike most of the others, Taddei enjoyed a significant, however brief, success in American intellectual circles, with English translations of most of his American works. Illustrations, such as those by Costantino Nivola (the first non-American admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters) in Parole Colletive, matched the sophistication of Taddei’s writing. Poetry was written largely in dialect rather than the standard Italian used by the novelists, could be found in the poetry, of Calicchiu Pucciu, or Francesco Sisca. Drama, more than the other genres, was largely though not exclusively devoted to political education, and was often the central entertainment of May Day picnics of Italian leftists consisting of performances of the plays of Gigi Damiani or other dramatists, discussed in Section VII. Italian American theatre began in New York in the 1870s. Theatre filled important emotional needs -- entertainment, a support system and social intercourse, supported by a network of fraternal and benevolent associations. Italian and European writers were introduced to immigrant audiences, whether in Italian, Neapolitan, Sicilian or other dialects. The Italian American experience furnished the subject matter for original plays written by Italian immigrant playwrights. Among them, Eduardo Migliaccio, known as Farfariello, who appears in one of the playbills advertising his performance here, made the Italian American immigrant the hero of his dramatic creations. Riccardo Cordiferro, several of whose play scripts appear here, concerned himself in his plays, as in his philosophical writings, with the social conditions of the Italian immigrant, and was less action-oriented than, say, the hard-core work of the sovversivi. Women in the theatre, like Ria Rosa, whose playbills appear here, enjoyed freedom and an outlet for creativity not available to women who played out their lives in traditional domestic roles. Antonio Maiori introduced Shakespeare to his immigrant audiences in his southern Italian dialect productions. Guglielmo Ricciardi, whose later memoirs appear in the collection, originated Italian American theatre in Brooklyn, and went on to a successful career in American theatre and cinema. Magazines reflected the politics of the publishers to a greater or lesser extent, whether of the nationalist (and later Fascist) Il Carroccio, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist Vita, Vincenzo Vacirca’s Il Solco, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist Zarathustra, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist Eresia, all of which are reflected in the collection. The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical La Follia di New York was was one of the earliest, in the 1890s, begun by the Sisca family (of whom Alessandro, pen name Riccardo Cordiferro, was the most celebrated), and was perhaps the single longest-lived magazine published in Italian in the U.S. Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of La Follia into a book that went through many editions, beginning in 1908 and continuing with an edition as late as 1965, which suggests that it financially sustained La Follia. Evidence of widespread cultural influence may be found in publications which included letters from enthusiastic readers or reviewers preceding or following the work itself, much like today’s review blurbs, and also lists of subscribers from around the entire country. Subject The topic of the resource While the amount of political literature (anarchist, socialist, fascist) in the collection suggests its prevalence in the Italian American community, it might well be the great survival rate of those materials that's responsible. The non-political imaginative literature created in Italian by the Italian community in the U.S., richer in wildly varying qualities, philosophies and interests than the political literature perhaps, provide a three-dimensional view of the Italian community.

Title A name given to the resource Learning the languages: For Americans and Italians Subject The topic of the resource Grammars and dictionaries - at first, imported from Italy, ones teaching English to native Italian speakers - were later supplemented by "home-grown" (that is, made in America) grammars especially designed for Italian immigrants, not like the grammars of decades before, designed for Italians in Italy wanting to learn English. Description An account of the resource The “languages” here are, of course, both English and Italian. In ways that I could not begin to perceive when I started collecting works in Italian, it was by no means a one-way street - that is, with Italian immigrants just wanting to learn English, with Italian as the vehicle to ease their way into learning English. Indeed, the two efforts are intimately related. First comes the “pre-history” to the world of the late 19th/early 20th century immigrants to New York and elsewhere in the U.S., namely, a period earlier in the 19th century, when Americans wanted to learn Italian, whether in colleges or with private lessons. This effort starts with Lorenzo Da Ponte, who came to the United States in 1805, and whose impact in those years cannot be overstated. Beginning with Da Ponte in the early 19th century, and continuing throughout the century, Italians delighted in teaching Americans how to read, speak and write in Italian. This collection of poetry was gathered mostly as teaching material – grammars, readers and dictionaries – that were in widespread use in the United States, primarily in the Northeast. Da Ponte wrote and published simple dramas for his private students and for those at Columbia College, where he became its first professor of Italian in 1825. Da Ponte and his brother Carlo maintained a bookstore as well. They shipped such publications throughout the United States wherever Italian was taught. Italian exiles in mid-century taught Italian to Americans eager to learn the language. Much later, in the late 19th century, Augusto Bassetti, Angelo De Gaudenzi and Francesco Zanolini, developed their own grammars, dictionaries and readers specifically designed to teach English to Italian immigrants. But the goal was also stated to be (particularly in Bassetti’s case) to help Italians simultaneously improve their knowledge of standard Italian, and thus enable them to read the Italian-language newspapers and even more the book-length publications that would soon come rolling out of print shops in New York and San Francisco. In the early 20th century, Alfonso Arbib-Costa published a series of “lezione” books designed to help Italian natives to learn English, as well as English-speakers to learn Italian. Perhaps even more significantly, Arbib-Costa’s lesson books, and those of Alberto Pecorino, helped Italian immigrants who brought to America largely an oral language, more typically dialect than standard Italian, learn how to read standard Italian. This development created and sustained a class of readers for the newspapers and magazines, and ultimately, the critical mass necessary for the development of a literary culture.

Title A name given to the resource Lezioni graduate di lingua inglese: compilate da Alfonso Arbib-Costa...Con una appendice contenente 1. un dizionario italiano-inglese ed inglese-italiano 2. un manuale di conversazione italiano-inglese 3. una lista completa di verbi irregolari inglesi [Graded Lessons of the English Language: compiled by Alfonso Arbib-Costa] New York: Francesco Tocci, Ed., 1906. Description An account of the resource Arbib-Costa (b. Livorno, 1882; active, New York, 1900–1930), professor of romance languages at the College of the City of New York, wrote texts designed to help students of English and Italian. First published in 1906 by Francesco Tocci at his Emporium Press in New York, Lezioni graduate was written in Italian to teach English to Italians without a teacher, and was reprinted for decades afterwards by Tocci’s later venture with Antonio De Martino and others, the Italian Book Company - Società Libraria Italiana, the most important of all the Italian language publishers in America. Arbib-Costa’s Lezioni graduate was, like Pecorini’s Grammatica-enciclopedia italiana-inglese, De Gaudenzi’s Nuovissima grammatica accelerata, and others, among the mainstays of the Italian language publishers for a simple reason. They were designed for Italian immigrants who as Pecorini had in his preface clearly described as the “middle class of Italian workers in the United States,” those who “while not having followed, in Italy, studies beyond elementary school, nevertheless had a knowledge of the Italian language that makes them able to appreciate a good and practical grammar [for learning English].” The motivation that these publishers had was the same one that - four centuries before, in Italy - led the Venetian publisher Aldus Manutius to publish ancient Greek grammars and dictionaries at the same time he brought out long forgotten texts in ancient Greek. It was a time when even few scholars, most of whose scholastic endeavors were in Latin, not Greek. A good businessman, as Aldus scholar G. Scott Clemons has noted, Aldus recognized when began his operations in the 1490s his audience would need Greek grammars and dictionaries if they were going to buy his Greek-language books. So the Italian American publishers realized, and indeed, the grammars and dictionaries ostensibly to teach English, but really also to teach Italian to immigrants with little school training in the old country the language skills they would need before they bought Italian books, newspapers and magazines. This was especially critical for immigrants whose social culture in Italy had remained largely one of oral transmission. In America, the immigrants would have to improve their Italian enough to learn English especially if they wished to do so "without a teacher." Note Emporium Press | F.

Brooklyn: Libreria del Proletario/ Tip. International Press of Brooklyn, 1905. Description An account of the resource From the cover, it appears that what unites these two different plays (by different playwrights) is that they both are of the "teatro sociale" [social theater]. There is nothing in Flamma, Schiavo or Durante about Professor Ciccarelli or his play. Louis Marsolleau (b. France 1864- d. France 1935) was a French poet, playwright and novelist, well represented in French theatre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Comédie-Française, Théâtre Antoine, and Théâtre de l'Odéon. This particular play, in its French original Mais quelqu'un troubla la fête (1900), was judged anarchist because it took on the management class, and thus was censured. The play was mounted every year on May Day in the U.S. and in Europe by worker cooperatives at the beginning of the 1900s in celebration of worker solidarity. The publisher (or perhaps bookstore distributor) is listed on the cover as Libreria del Proletario [Bookstore of Il Proletario], at 158 Carroll Street in Brooklyn, but the title page of the first play lists only the printer, International Press of Brooklyn, at the same address. Both cover and title page are reproduced here, as is the rear cover advertisting the socialist Il Proletario.

Title A name given to the resource Political subversives I: The bibliographic travels of Luigi Galleani and Armando Borghi Subject The topic of the resource Consistent with their travels to speak with their "disciples" and the international nature of anarchism, these two leaders, Galleani and Borghi, also published in a wide variety of places in the U.S., Italy and elsewhere. Doing so was often a function of evading crackdowns on subversives by U.S. postal authorities, or in Borghi's case, avoiding being imprisoned and possibly killed in Italy during the Mussolini years, when publishers, printers and authors all lived in fear. Description An account of the resource Luigi Galleani Galleani was one of the anarchist movement’s most eloquent writers and spellbinding orators, heir to the great Errico Malatesta in Italy and elsewhere, a political agitator and charismatic anarchist leader, and a prolific political publisher. Mentor to Sacco and Vanzetti, the peripatetic Galleani was born in Italy, and lived in various venues in the U.S. from 1901 until he was deported back to Italy in 1919. He first settled in Paterson, New Jersey in 1901 to be the editor of the then-most important anarchist journal, La Questione Sociale. Then, after starting the newspaper Cronaca Sovversiva [Subversive Chronicle] in 1903, he moved to Lynn, Mass. (see his Madri d’Italia, under the pseudonym Mentana), until the postmaster in Lynn refused to mail Cronaca Sovversiva and his books, at which time he repaired to Barre, Vermont (see his Verso il comunismo, among other examples of publications from that venue). He was prosecuted for violating anti-leftist laws, especially the 1918 Anarchist Exclusion Act. This act, which permitted the government to shut down publication of the Cronaca Sovversiva in that year (and deport Galleani and other editors of the newspaper subsequently), had been passed by Congress largely in response to the bombings that Galleani incited his followers to undertake (see his Faccia a faccia col nemico) through his publications as well as his personal direction: he even published a manual on how to make bombs (“La salute è in voi!” [Your salvation is up to you!]). Galleani’s deportation in 1919 arose as much from his newspaper and pamphlet publications that were themselves regarded by the authorities as incitements to violence, as it did from his actual and attempted bombings. He and his followers of the individualist school of anarchism were wary of not only electoral politics but also of syndicalism, i.e., the use of trade unions to bring industry and government under the control by direct action, such as strikes and sabotage, the preferred methods of Carlo Tresca, among others. Because of these doctrinal differences, as well as Tresca’s immense personal charm and popularity, Galleani’s followers were even more determined to destroy the reputation and thus the effectiveness of Tresca, despite the anti-fascist views they shared in the 1920s and 1930s. Like his unlikely ally Armando Borghi, Galleani was internationally well known, so that even his deportation from the U.S. hardly put a stop to his influence. L’Adunata dei Refrattari (The Gathering of the Recalcitrants) became the successor newspaper to La Cronaca Sovversiva after Galleani’s deportation in 1919, begun and run by his followers in the U.S. after Galleani’s deportation in 1919, and edited by Raffaele Schiavina. Its publishing arm released many full-length works (typically, collections of shorter pieces) like those exhibited here, as well as pamphlets, sometimes without Galleani’s authorization, due to his being unreachable in exile on the island of Lipari. L’Adunata also published Galleani in Europe, e.g., in Rome as late as 1947, often using the same printer’s mark (a mermaid-like torchbearer) he used in the earliest of his works. The international character of the movement had long been clear: in one work, readers of an Italian-language edition of Organizzazione e anarchia, published in Paris (by L. Chauvet) sometime after 1925, are urged in a message in the inside rear cover to buy a copy of Galleani’s La fine dell’anarchismo?, published in the United States (Newark) in 1925. Armando Borghi Armando Borghi’s unflattering biography of Mussolini (Mussolini in camicia) was too dangerous to be released in Italy: after Mussolini’s rise to power in 1922, publishing a work criticizing Mussolini soon became impossible. Simply for speaking in the Italian Parliament in June 1924 against fraud (and violence) employed by Mussolini in the recent election, United Socialist Party chief Giacomo Matteotti was within days thereafter murdered by the fascists, a politically explosive development that became a rallying cry of anti-fascists for many years. In 1925, measures that gave the government powers to gag the press were passed. Emergency laws in 1926 suppressed every political party and every newspaper other than those of the fascists. It was in that context that anarcho-syndicalist Borghi arrived in the U.S. in or about November 1926, where he was joined by his lover, Virgilia D’Andrea (see her works in the collection). Shortly thereafter, in 1927 he published Mussolini in camicia in Italian in the only safe place to do so at the time, New York. This work became internationally popular, was translated into French and published in Paris (1932), in Amsterdam in Dutch (1933) - the collection has recently (in 2021) acquired a Dutch copy - , and then translated into English from the French edition, not the Italian original, and published in London (1935). Mussolini in camicia was again published to America, but in English, in 1938 using the same British translation, and was not published in Italy until 1947, not long after the war’s end and Mussolini’s execution. In Italy, Borghi ranked second only to the legendary Errico Malatesta as its most important anarchist, so that when he arrived in the U.S., Borghi expected to be the foremost Italian anarchist there (Galleani having been deported some years before). However, Carlo Tresca, director of Il Martello, who as a fellow “organization” anarchist might otherwise have been his natural ally, was in the way, and Borghi surprisingly thus aligned himself with the anti-organizational anarchist Galleanisti and their L’Adunata dei Refrattari, a move that he eventually came to regret. Like the Galleanisti, Borghi attacked Tresca not only on ideological grounds but also on personal ones. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title A name given to the resource Verso il comunismo [Towards Communism]. Barre, VT: Tip. della Cronica Sovversiva, 1904. Description An account of the resource This short (13-page) pamphlet was published in Barre, VT by the Cronaca Sovversiva only about a year after that newspaper's founding in 1903 on the types of political views of different people the narrator met while a student at the University of Torino. The pamphlet was as much a warning of the approach of Communism as it was an expression of desire for it. Pasted above the publication information on the title page of this cover-less copy is a slip on which is typed Libreria Popolizio| Road 2 Box 1| Rivesville, W. Va. 26588| U.S.A. (One wonders what publication information lies under the slip.) This seems unlikely to be the same Popolizio (Giuseppe) who was the New York-based publisher in the 1940s and 1950s, but more research needs to be done. Stamped sideways to the right is the faint stamp of Giuseppe Galzerano of Casalvelino Scalo, which is a hamlet (frazione) in the comune (municipality) of Castelnuovo Cilento in the province of Salerno, in Campagna.

Title A name given to the resource Antinatale [AntiChristmas]. New York: Biblioteca "Novatore" No. 4, [1910]. Description An account of the resource Libero Tancredi was the journalistic pseudonym of Massimo Rocca (b. Torino 1884 - d. Salò 1973). This work dates from Rocca's youth, when he wrote for anarchist and syndicalist newspapers. However, by the beginning of 1920, he flirted with and then fully embraced fascism, writing for Il Popolo d'Italia when that newspaper was directed by Mussolini. In 1923, he co-founded, with Giuseppe Bottai, an important fascist hierarch, the magazine Critica fascista. The Collection contains another work by Tancredi: Dio e patria: nel pensiero dei rinnegati. New York: [n.p.], [c. 1924-1925]. There, the second essay recounts a religious debate between Tancredi and a priest in Providence, R.I., on December 11, 1910, likely the same year as the publication of this work. This copy is notable because it bears a prized stamp for a collector interested in the first women's bookstore and publisher among the Italians: the stamp of "Libreria Editrice | ELVIRA CATELLO|1946 First Avenue, New York City…." See discussion of Elvira Catello's life and work in the description of Tomaso Concordia's Argomenti libertari. The "Novatore" of the Biblioteca "Novatore" is presumably Renzo Novatore, author of works published posthumously in Verso la nulla creatore, q.v.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Histories, philosophy, biographies, directories, bibliographies, almanacs, catalogues, annuals, religious, educational, and travel literature Subject The topic of the resource These largely non-political works reflect a broad pallette of non-fiction reflections on the history of Italians in the U.S., travel literature, biographies (like that of the Peanut King, Obici), or the religious, like Sister, later Mother, and final Saint Cabrini. Description An account of the resource In these non-fiction works, Italians reflected upon themselves and their American experiences. Representing the non-sovversivi type of immigrant, who were more interested in becoming American and “making it” in America than in stoking class warfare and remaking society, They began to place themselves in the context of contemporary American society and the history in America. The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America, the first history of Italians in the United States, represented a watershed - the first 50 years of Italians in America - and allegedly arose from a conversation between journalist Bosi and King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy in 1901, in which the king expressed curiosity about the Italian colony in America. Luigi Roversi’s biography of Palma di Cesnola proudly places that Italian within the august homes of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant America, into which di Cesnola had married, and where he ruled as the first director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. More than the first half of Flamma’s “biography” of the greatest mayor New York City had ever seen, Fiorello LaGuardia, has little to do with La Guardia, unfortunately, but the work did reflect his obvious pride that after electing mayors in 29 other cities, Italians “finally” elected (in 1933) a mayor of Italian heritage to the country’s most important city. The directories discussed here, from New York to San Francisco, provide a particularly rich source of information about the different businesses and professions Italians had in virtually every state of the union, from as early as the 1880s (in San Francisco) to the first few decades of the 20th Century (primarily in New York).

Description An account of the resource The author is Padre Laurenti, "di C. di G.", which I believe means Laurenti was a Jesuit (the "Compagnia di Gesu" or Society of Jesus). His interest in North America, and a focus of his travels in this report, is the spread of the Catholic religion in missions in North America. In particular, the author is interested in where Jesuits went in North America. The missions in Maine, New York and Maryland are among his primary concerns.

Title A name given to the resource Manuale di Chiromanzia: metodo pratico per leggere la mano [Palmistry Manual: practical method for reading the hand]. New York: Libreria Economica Italiana (Francesco Zanolini), 1901. Description An account of the resource "Copyright, April 1901 by Francesco Zanolini"; at the foot of the last page is "Stamperia V. Ciocia, 79 Centre St." Ciocia published his own work, La chiave dei sogni, e manualetto di chiromanzia in 1913, q.v., as well as being printer for other publishers. This is one of two palmistry books published in these early 20th c. decades, as noted including by Ciocia himself. I have not compared the two works to see if Ciocia took advantage of his role as printer of Zanolini's work to develop his own. On the rear cover are ads for L'Araldo Italiano, both the "giornale quotidiano" (daily newspaper) and "edizione settimanale" (weekly edition), as well as the Libreria de L'Araldo Italiano, all at 71 Centre St. Like the larger circulation L'Eco d'Italia as early as 1862 (the earliest issue in the NYPL) and Il Progresso Italo-Americano, which began publication and its own bookstore in 1880, L'Araldo Italiano sold books from its offices, mostly Italian imports. Of author "Ernesto Det.", I find nothing. The period after the name "Det." is suggestive either of an abbreviated name, or that "Ernesto" was a detective.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper Description An account of the resource During this period fiction, poetry and drama ranged from the sensational urban “mysteries” of Bernardino Ciambelli (never translated into English) to the arguably more literary and certainly more political fiction of Ezio Taddei. Unlike most of the others, Taddei enjoyed a significant, however brief, success in American intellectual circles, with English translations of most of his American works. Illustrations, such as those by Costantino Nivola (the first non-American admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters) in Parole Colletive, matched the sophistication of Taddei’s writing. Poetry was written largely in dialect rather than the standard Italian used by the novelists, could be found in the poetry, of Calicchiu Pucciu, or Francesco Sisca. Drama, more than the other genres, was largely though not exclusively devoted to political education, and was often the central entertainment of May Day picnics of Italian leftists consisting of performances of the plays of Gigi Damiani or other dramatists, discussed in Section VII. Italian American theatre began in New York in the 1870s. Theatre filled important emotional needs -- entertainment, a support system and social intercourse, supported by a network of fraternal and benevolent associations. Italian and European writers were introduced to immigrant audiences, whether in Italian, Neapolitan, Sicilian or other dialects. The Italian American experience furnished the subject matter for original plays written by Italian immigrant playwrights. Among them, Eduardo Migliaccio, known as Farfariello, who appears in one of the playbills advertising his performance here, made the Italian American immigrant the hero of his dramatic creations. Riccardo Cordiferro, several of whose play scripts appear here, concerned himself in his plays, as in his philosophical writings, with the social conditions of the Italian immigrant, and was less action-oriented than, say, the hard-core work of the sovversivi. Women in the theatre, like Ria Rosa, whose playbills appear here, enjoyed freedom and an outlet for creativity not available to women who played out their lives in traditional domestic roles. Antonio Maiori introduced Shakespeare to his immigrant audiences in his southern Italian dialect productions. Guglielmo Ricciardi, whose later memoirs appear in the collection, originated Italian American theatre in Brooklyn, and went on to a successful career in American theatre and cinema. Magazines reflected the politics of the publishers to a greater or lesser extent, whether of the nationalist (and later Fascist) Il Carroccio, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist Vita, Vincenzo Vacirca’s Il Solco, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist Zarathustra, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist Eresia, all of which are reflected in the collection. The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical La Follia di New York was was one of the earliest, in the 1890s, begun by the Sisca family (of whom Alessandro, pen name Riccardo Cordiferro, was the most celebrated), and was perhaps the single longest-lived magazine published in Italian in the U.S. Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of La Follia into a book that went through many editions, beginning in 1908 and continuing with an edition as late as 1965, which suggests that it financially sustained La Follia. Evidence of widespread cultural influence may be found in publications which included letters from enthusiastic readers or reviewers preceding or following the work itself, much like today’s review blurbs, and also lists of subscribers from around the entire country. Subject The topic of the resource While the amount of political literature (anarchist, socialist, fascist) in the collection suggests its prevalence in the Italian American community, it might well be the great survival rate of those materials that's responsible. The non-political imaginative literature created in Italian by the Italian community in the U.S., richer in wildly varying qualities, philosophies and interests than the political literature perhaps, provide a three-dimensional view of the Italian community.

Title A name given to the resource I misteri di New York: romanzo storico sociale| di Menotti Pellegrino |con annesso| Il Grande Manuale Internazionale| degli| Annunzi [The Mysteries of New York: historical social novel of Menotti Pellegrino, and annexed, the Great International Manuale of Advertisements][FACSIMILE]. New York: Tip. Ital. U Di Luca & Benedetti, 1903. Description An account of the resource I misteri di New York, a novel that speaks of crime, corruption and political entanglements within and outside the Italian community, is an “almost indecipherable hodgepodge,” according to Martino Marazzi. Despite that disparagement, Marazzi's Voices of Italian America: a History of Early Italian American Literature with a Critical Anthology (Madison, 2004) contains an excerpt from this work in translation. The work opens with a paean to New York to which anyone even now can relate: “NEW YORK! . . . the cradle of fortune sought by the disinherited of all peoples! . . . [the place that represents] America for the majority of the innumerable worshippers of the powerful almighty Dollar.” Described by Martino Marazzi as "totally disconnected and muddled," with which judgment Durante agrees, this novel is in the "mysteries" genre of Eugène Sue in France in the 19th century, and popularized by Bernardino Ciambelli in New York beginning in the 1890s. Pellegrino apparently financed this work - self-published and printed by the Tipografia Italiana U Di Luca & Benedetti - with extensive advertising: about every 20-28 pages, the novel is interrupted by six-to-eight pages of advertisements for doctors, banks, manufacturers, real estate companies, and "grosseria"s. Banner advertisements are also interspersed for a local attorney, Philip Saitta, and single-page ads by Pellegrino himself as "traduttore di qualsiasi lavoro commerciale letterario, prosaico, dall'inglese in italiano o dall'italiano in inglese" [translator of whatever commercial or literary prosaic work from English into Italian or from Italian into English]. It is unclear to me how these constitute a "Great International Manuale" of advertisements, but perhaps the ads at the end of the book were not reproduced for this facsimile edition. Other than this discussion by Marazzi, no biographical information about Pellegrino can be found in any of the contemporary sources, such as Flamma (several decades later than this work but within the period of Pellegrino's publications, see below), or in more contemporary ones (such as Durante, who besides referencing Marazzi, says that the only thing we know about him is his name). Actually, what we do know is that Pellegrino's writing career seems to have spanned about 55 years, including a much later work than this one - I tre cavalieri di Trinacria (New York, 1929), q.v. - and what may be a much earlier one: a book of poetry published in Palermo 20 years before this work (i.e., in 1883) by one Menotti Pellegrino - the unconventional "last name first name" as well as the subject matter suggests it is the same writer - La scintilla: canti popolari, a copy of which is in the Collection. In addition, this early work was published in Sicily, where the author of the aforementioned work about Trinacria, an ancient name for Sicily, likely hailed from. Moreover, in the Italian libraries system, I discovered that Pellegrino also wrote the verses for music published - in Italy, according to the catalogue entry, but with no indication of specific location or publisher name - in 1935: Adua: Marcia patriottica/musica di Vittorio Scala; versi di Menotti Pellegrino. We know this is our author because the Italian library (Biblioteca Dannunziana in Lombardy) catalogue entry notes that the frontispiece states that I tre cavalieri di Trinacria is one of the other works by the same author, as are the poems I martiri di Dogali and 'Osanna a Fede contro il 18 novembre 1935. The Library of Congress’s Catalog of Copyright Entries Part 1 [C] Group 3: dramatic compositions and motion pictures. for the year 1938 lists I tre cavalieri with the subject heading “Madre Sicilia,” its location in that section suggesting Pellegrino adapted his work to either a screenplay or a stage play. Finally, the 1940 volume of the Library of Congress’s Catalog of Copyright Entries Part 1 [C] Group 3: dramatic compositions and motion pictures. New Series 1940, lists Pellegrino's 1937 copyrighted work, Umano sole: opera lirica-drammatica. I find no copy of this work in any American or Italian libraries.

Pecorini was editor of the newspaper Il Cittadino in New York for some time, and encouraged the integration between Italian Americans and the rest of the country.

He also denounced the mainstream Italian American newspaper, Il Progresso Italo-Americano, because its main goal, as he saw it, was to keep all Italians in the United States out of touch with the laws, news, and general activities of the country in which they lived.

Title A name given to the resource Il mondo e le sue trasformazioni: dialoghi fra il nonno e la sua nepote [The World and its Transformations: dialogues between a grandpa and his granddaughter]. New York: Libreria Rossa, 1909. Description An account of the resource This work has inconsistent bibliographic information: the date of 1909 is that of the publication of this work by the Libreria Rossa of Carlo Tresca and his Il Martello, but most library copies list Libreria ed. Elvira Catello as the publisher (U. Minn, U. Michigan, IISH (Amsterdam)). Paraf-Javal, the stated author (sometimes also called "Péji") was the nom de plume of Georges Matthias, a French writer (1858-1941), who began as a sort of socialist but became an anarchist-individualist. This work was part of the publisher's Propaganda Educativa series. Under the subtitle on the cover it is noted that "These dialogues were compiled on the outlines of the book which, with the title Cartilla, seved as the book of letters for the pupils of the Scuola Moderna founded by Francisco Ferrer at Barcelona, IV Edition." Printed by De Pamphilis Press, 51 Greenwich Avenue in New York City, which also printed Spose di guerra: dramma in un atto, q.v., published by Tresca's Il Martello press.

Title A name given to the resource Histories, philosophy, biographies, directories, bibliographies, almanacs, catalogues, annuals, religious, educational, and travel literature Subject The topic of the resource These largely non-political works reflect a broad pallette of non-fiction reflections on the history of Italians in the U.S., travel literature, biographies (like that of the Peanut King, Obici), or the religious, like Sister, later Mother, and final Saint Cabrini. Description An account of the resource In these non-fiction works, Italians reflected upon themselves and their American experiences. Representing the non-sovversivi type of immigrant, who were more interested in becoming American and “making it” in America than in stoking class warfare and remaking society, They began to place themselves in the context of contemporary American society and the history in America. The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America, the first history of Italians in the United States, represented a watershed - the first 50 years of Italians in America - and allegedly arose from a conversation between journalist Bosi and King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy in 1901, in which the king expressed curiosity about the Italian colony in America. Luigi Roversi’s biography of Palma di Cesnola proudly places that Italian within the august homes of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant America, into which di Cesnola had married, and where he ruled as the first director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. More than the first half of Flamma’s “biography” of the greatest mayor New York City had ever seen, Fiorello LaGuardia, has little to do with La Guardia, unfortunately, but the work did reflect his obvious pride that after electing mayors in 29 other cities, Italians “finally” elected (in 1933) a mayor of Italian heritage to the country’s most important city. The directories discussed here, from New York to San Francisco, provide a particularly rich source of information about the different businesses and professions Italians had in virtually every state of the union, from as early as the 1880s (in San Francisco) to the first few decades of the 20th Century (primarily in New York).

Torino: Tip. Roux e Viarengo, 1904. Description An account of the resource Inscribed by author, former Italian ambassador to Washington, this is a lecture that he was invited to give in late 1903 at several Chambers of Commerce of the Kingdom to demonstrate the advantage that Italian arts and industries would receive by participating in the World's Fair at St. Louis that opened in April, 1904. The reason is that the initial invitation for Italy to have an exhibit at the St. Louis Fair was met with indifference at first by the Italian public, as well as by official industries. But, Mayor des Planches says, there are now so many Italians in the U.S., that our co-nationals there say it's imperative that we show the marvels of Italian arts and culture, especially when American antipathy toward the ever increasing numbers of Italian immigrants is on the rise.

Title A name given to the resource L'attentato di Matteo Morral [The Attempt on Matteo Morral]. East Boston: Gruppo Autonomo, [1910?] Description An account of the resource This is the Italian-language version of a French anarchist's perspective on the Morral affair, an attempted assassination of the Spanish King Alfonso XIII and his bride, Victoria Eugenie, on their wedding day, May 31, 1906 by Mateu Morral, who threw a bomb from a balcony, killing 24 bystanders without harming the royal procession. Two days after the attack, militiamen accosted Morral, who killed one before killing himself. Morral was likely involved in a similar attack on the king a year prior. The affair became a pretext to stop Francisco Ferrer, an anarchist pedagogue who ran Escuela Moderna, the influential, rationalist, antigovernment, anticlerical, antimilitary, Barcelonean school in whose library Morral worked. Morral is celebrated here as a hero. The Boston-based Gruppo Autonomo that published this edition, affiliated with Luigi Galleani, did not refrain from violence when it believed it was necessary. Author Charles Malato (1857–1938) was a French anarchist and writer. He was born to a noble Neapolitan family; his grandfather Count Malato was a Field Marshal and the Commander-in-Chief of the army of the last King of Naples. Count Malato ferociously suppressed a popular anti-dynastic insurrection; his son – Charles' father – supported the communards of the Paris Commune, and was banished as a result to the penal colony of New Caledonia, where Charles was born. After the amnesty of anarchists and communists, Charles and his by that time ninety-year-old father returned to Paris, where they immersed themselves in the anarchist movement.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper Description An account of the resource During this period fiction, poetry and drama ranged from the sensational urban “mysteries” of Bernardino Ciambelli (never translated into English) to the arguably more literary and certainly more political fiction of Ezio Taddei. Unlike most of the others, Taddei enjoyed a significant, however brief, success in American intellectual circles, with English translations of most of his American works. Illustrations, such as those by Costantino Nivola (the first non-American admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters) in Parole Colletive, matched the sophistication of Taddei’s writing. Poetry was written largely in dialect rather than the standard Italian used by the novelists, could be found in the poetry, of Calicchiu Pucciu, or Francesco Sisca. Drama, more than the other genres, was largely though not exclusively devoted to political education, and was often the central entertainment of May Day picnics of Italian leftists consisting of performances of the plays of Gigi Damiani or other dramatists, discussed in Section VII. Italian American theatre began in New York in the 1870s. Theatre filled important emotional needs -- entertainment, a support system and social intercourse, supported by a network of fraternal and benevolent associations. Italian and European writers were introduced to immigrant audiences, whether in Italian, Neapolitan, Sicilian or other dialects. The Italian American experience furnished the subject matter for original plays written by Italian immigrant playwrights. Among them, Eduardo Migliaccio, known as Farfariello, who appears in one of the playbills advertising his performance here, made the Italian American immigrant the hero of his dramatic creations. Riccardo Cordiferro, several of whose play scripts appear here, concerned himself in his plays, as in his philosophical writings, with the social conditions of the Italian immigrant, and was less action-oriented than, say, the hard-core work of the sovversivi. Women in the theatre, like Ria Rosa, whose playbills appear here, enjoyed freedom and an outlet for creativity not available to women who played out their lives in traditional domestic roles. Antonio Maiori introduced Shakespeare to his immigrant audiences in his southern Italian dialect productions. Guglielmo Ricciardi, whose later memoirs appear in the collection, originated Italian American theatre in Brooklyn, and went on to a successful career in American theatre and cinema. Magazines reflected the politics of the publishers to a greater or lesser extent, whether of the nationalist (and later Fascist) Il Carroccio, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist Vita, Vincenzo Vacirca’s Il Solco, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist Zarathustra, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist Eresia, all of which are reflected in the collection. The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical La Follia di New York was was one of the earliest, in the 1890s, begun by the Sisca family (of whom Alessandro, pen name Riccardo Cordiferro, was the most celebrated), and was perhaps the single longest-lived magazine published in Italian in the U.S. Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of La Follia into a book that went through many editions, beginning in 1908 and continuing with an edition as late as 1965, which suggests that it financially sustained La Follia. Evidence of widespread cultural influence may be found in publications which included letters from enthusiastic readers or reviewers preceding or following the work itself, much like today’s review blurbs, and also lists of subscribers from around the entire country. Subject The topic of the resource While the amount of political literature (anarchist, socialist, fascist) in the collection suggests its prevalence in the Italian American community, it might well be the great survival rate of those materials that's responsible. The non-political imaginative literature created in Italian by the Italian community in the U.S., richer in wildly varying qualities, philosophies and interests than the political literature perhaps, provide a three-dimensional view of the Italian community.

Description An account of the resource Flamma's signature is on the copyright page: "This edition is limited to One Thousand copies, each bearing Author's Autograph." One of his volumes of Dramas was issued in New York, in 1909, in a luxurious edition enriched by a letter (little more than a note) from Anatole France, by a note by Prince Trubetzkoy, and a preface in which Felix Rem states that the author “is a keen observer and analyzer of human nature and of the problems which excite the present society.” The book contains three one-act plays, translated into English: The Queen’s Castle, a philosophical work that “reveals the artificial foundation upon which society has lived and still adheres, and points out very clearly why real happiness is not attainable in our life-time”; Don Luca Sperante (1906), “a vivid portrait of Sicilian character and customs”; The Stranger (1908), the story of an old man forgotten in the world, like an autumnal leaf. Other dramas by Fiamma are: Piccole anime (Little Souls), in three acts (New York 1912), a middle-class story set in the environs of Milan; La maschera di Amleto (Hamlet’s Mask), 1922, a play in three acts whose English-language version had a short-lived Broadway run in 1921; Dopo la guerra (After the War), 1923); La potenza (Power), 1926; Gli ebrei (The Jews); Suor Maddalena (Sister Magdalene), in three acts; and the one-act All’ ombra della croce (In the Shadow of the Cross). Thanks to Stefano Morello, we know that his real name was Domenico Pignato, that he also published a play in his native Caltanissetta in 1900, Volfango: dramma in quattro atti, under the name Domenico Pignato Audibert, that last part his French mother's maiden name. The play was published by Stabilimento Tipografico Ospizio provinciale di beneficenza of Umberto I, which was the printing press of a provincial charitable institution in Italy named for King Umberto I, in 1900, the very year in which Umberto I was assassinated.

Title A name given to the resource Histories, philosophy, biographies, directories, bibliographies, almanacs, catalogues, annuals, religious, educational, and travel literature Subject The topic of the resource These largely non-political works reflect a broad pallette of non-fiction reflections on the history of Italians in the U.S., travel literature, biographies (like that of the Peanut King, Obici), or the religious, like Sister, later Mother, and final Saint Cabrini. Description An account of the resource In these non-fiction works, Italians reflected upon themselves and their American experiences. Representing the non-sovversivi type of immigrant, who were more interested in becoming American and “making it” in America than in stoking class warfare and remaking society, They began to place themselves in the context of contemporary American society and the history in America. The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America, the first history of Italians in the United States, represented a watershed - the first 50 years of Italians in America - and allegedly arose from a conversation between journalist Bosi and King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy in 1901, in which the king expressed curiosity about the Italian colony in America. Luigi Roversi’s biography of Palma di Cesnola proudly places that Italian within the august homes of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant America, into which di Cesnola had married, and where he ruled as the first director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. More than the first half of Flamma’s “biography” of the greatest mayor New York City had ever seen, Fiorello LaGuardia, has little to do with La Guardia, unfortunately, but the work did reflect his obvious pride that after electing mayors in 29 other cities, Italians “finally” elected (in 1933) a mayor of Italian heritage to the country’s most important city. The directories discussed here, from New York to San Francisco, provide a particularly rich source of information about the different businesses and professions Italians had in virtually every state of the union, from as early as the 1880s (in San Francisco) to the first few decades of the 20th Century (primarily in New York).

Description An account of the resource Although the author's name appears nowhere in this work itself, Sébastien Faure (1858-1942) is listed as the author on p. 3, under "opuscoli di propaganda antireligiosa" of the catalogue at the end of the 1908 Almanacco della Rivoluzione, q.v., published, of course, also by the Libreria Sociologica in Paterson. The date of publication is a guess, but it surely was in print prior to the 1908 Almanacco just cited. About this most important radical publisher: Libreria Sociologica, a bookstore as well as publisher, was founded in 1903 by noted anarchist Ninfa Baronio and her companion, silkweaver Firmino Gallo. After emigrating from Piemonte to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterson,_New_Jersey" title="Paterson, New Jersey">Paterson, New Jersey</a>, Ninfa helped found Paterson's anarchist Gruppo Diritto all'Esistenza (Right to an Existence Group); co-founded a local feminist group and performed in feminist plays; and, with Gallo, with whom she had six children, ran the Libreria Sociologica, said by historian Kenyon Zimmer to be "America's richest storehouse of extreme radical literature." The Libreria Sociologica was a place where local anarchists gathered and bought Italian, French, and American anarchist literature, as well as Communist publications such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Communist" class="mw-redirect" title="The New York Communist">The New York Communist</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Russia_(newspaper)" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Russia (newspaper)">Soviet Russia</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolutionary_Age" title="The Revolutionary Age">The Revolutionary Age</a>. In the back room, the Slovenian anarchist Franz Widmar operated his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L%27Era_Nuova&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="L'Era Nuova (page does not exist)">L'Era Nuova</a> (New Era) press. In 1912, Firmino Gallo was arrested for displaying an anti-imperialist cartoon by Ludovico Caminita, q.v., in the bookstore window; he and Caminita were charged with inciting hostility against a foreign government.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper Description An account of the resource During this period fiction, poetry and drama ranged from the sensational urban “mysteries” of Bernardino Ciambelli (never translated into English) to the arguably more literary and certainly more political fiction of Ezio Taddei. Unlike most of the others, Taddei enjoyed a significant, however brief, success in American intellectual circles, with English translations of most of his American works. Illustrations, such as those by Costantino Nivola (the first non-American admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters) in Parole Colletive, matched the sophistication of Taddei’s writing. Poetry was written largely in dialect rather than the standard Italian used by the novelists, could be found in the poetry, of Calicchiu Pucciu, or Francesco Sisca. Drama, more than the other genres, was largely though not exclusively devoted to political education, and was often the central entertainment of May Day picnics of Italian leftists consisting of performances of the plays of Gigi Damiani or other dramatists, discussed in Section VII. Italian American theatre began in New York in the 1870s. Theatre filled important emotional needs -- entertainment, a support system and social intercourse, supported by a network of fraternal and benevolent associations. Italian and European writers were introduced to immigrant audiences, whether in Italian, Neapolitan, Sicilian or other dialects. The Italian American experience furnished the subject matter for original plays written by Italian immigrant playwrights. Among them, Eduardo Migliaccio, known as Farfariello, who appears in one of the playbills advertising his performance here, made the Italian American immigrant the hero of his dramatic creations. Riccardo Cordiferro, several of whose play scripts appear here, concerned himself in his plays, as in his philosophical writings, with the social conditions of the Italian immigrant, and was less action-oriented than, say, the hard-core work of the sovversivi. Women in the theatre, like Ria Rosa, whose playbills appear here, enjoyed freedom and an outlet for creativity not available to women who played out their lives in traditional domestic roles. Antonio Maiori introduced Shakespeare to his immigrant audiences in his southern Italian dialect productions. Guglielmo Ricciardi, whose later memoirs appear in the collection, originated Italian American theatre in Brooklyn, and went on to a successful career in American theatre and cinema. Magazines reflected the politics of the publishers to a greater or lesser extent, whether of the nationalist (and later Fascist) Il Carroccio, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist Vita, Vincenzo Vacirca’s Il Solco, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist Zarathustra, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist Eresia, all of which are reflected in the collection. The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical La Follia di New York was was one of the earliest, in the 1890s, begun by the Sisca family (of whom Alessandro, pen name Riccardo Cordiferro, was the most celebrated), and was perhaps the single longest-lived magazine published in Italian in the U.S. Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of La Follia into a book that went through many editions, beginning in 1908 and continuing with an edition as late as 1965, which suggests that it financially sustained La Follia. Evidence of widespread cultural influence may be found in publications which included letters from enthusiastic readers or reviewers preceding or following the work itself, much like today’s review blurbs, and also lists of subscribers from around the entire country. Subject The topic of the resource While the amount of political literature (anarchist, socialist, fascist) in the collection suggests its prevalence in the Italian American community, it might well be the great survival rate of those materials that's responsible. The non-political imaginative literature created in Italian by the Italian community in the U.S., richer in wildly varying qualities, philosophies and interests than the political literature perhaps, provide a three-dimensional view of the Italian community.

Italy 1868). Active in the local Dante Alighieri Society in Baltimore, Baucia was called the “champion marathon pianist in Europe,” where he regularly exceeded 50 hours of playing piano uninterrupted. A Time magazine article (December 7, 1925) reported that after a grueling 52 hours of playing in a two-man piano-playing marathon contestin Baltimore, the aging pianist was urged to desist on doctor’s orders, and did so, while playing “Maryland, My Maryland,” yielding the championship to his opponent.

Title A name given to the resource Scienza e fede [Science and Faith]. Philadelphia: Social Printing Co., 1908. Description An account of the resource Barbato (b. 1856, Piana dei Greci, d. 1923, Milan) was a Sicilian medical doctor, socialist and politician, one of the national leaders of the Fasci Siciliani (Sicilian Leagues), a popular movement of democratic and socialist inspiration in 1891-1894, and perhaps was the ablest among them, according to Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm. He was imprisoned in 1894 after trial, elected to the chamber of deputies while in prison (his election was annulled). His 12-year sentence aroused opposition in the U.S. among Italians, as well as in Italy. He was released after only about two years in prison. He was elected to Parliament several times, but always lived under the threat of the government or the Mafia. Although there is no evidence of his having come to the U.S., Barbato also published articles in Il Proletario. In one such, he directed a biting diatribe at the American people for what he saw as its cowardliness and passivity: "There is no form of violence on the part of the authorities which they do not submit to passively; one day an anarchist newspaper is suppressed; another day the entry [into the country] of an Italian socialist newspaper is prohibited; then the most elementary rights of workers are denied and it is declared a crime to boycott goods, until finally the reactionary instinct even assumes the defense of czarism. While a shopkeeper education makes this people practical and adapted more than we Europeans for the daily struggle for existence, it is opposed to the development of a civic conscience. The more evolved worker, he of the famous trade union, has only one dream, to become a millionaire with the aid of God and the robust fiber which he believes is his as a member of the greatest race in the world."

Paterson: Libreria Sociologica, 1907. Description An account of the resource In the 62 pages of this work are essays by various writers. Of particular note at the end is a 4-page catalogue of other books published by the Libreria Sociologica, a bookstore as well as publisher, which was founded in 1903 by noted anarchist Ninfa Baronio and her companion, silkweaver Firmino Gallo. After emigrating from Piemonte to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paterson,_New_Jersey" title="Paterson, New Jersey">Paterson, New Jersey</a>, Ninfa helped found Paterson's anarchist Gruppo Diritto all'Esistenza (Right to an Existence Group); co-founded a local feminist group and performed in feminist plays; and, with Gallo, with whom she had six children, ran the Libreria Sociologica, said by historian Kenyon Zimmer to be "America's richest storehouse of extreme radical literature." The Libreria Sociologica was a place where local anarchists gathered and bought Italian, French, and American anarchist literature, as well as Communist publications such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Communist" class="mw-redirect" title="The New York Communist">The New York Communist</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Russia_(newspaper)" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Russia (newspaper)">Soviet Russia</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolutionary_Age" title="The Revolutionary Age">The Revolutionary Age</a>. In the back room, the Slovenian anarchist Franz Widmar operated his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L%27Era_Nuova&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="L'Era Nuova (page does not exist)">L'Era Nuova</a> (New Era) press. In 1912, Firmino Gallo was arrested for displaying an anti-imperialist cartoon by Ludovico Caminita, q.v., in the bookstore window; he and Caminita were charged with inciting hostility against a foreign government. Jennifer Guglielmo's Living the Revolution: Italian Women's Resistance and Radicalism in New York City, 1880-1945 (Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Press, 1910) is a rich source of history of Baronio, Maria Roda and other important Italian women radicals in New York in that era.

Tipografia Internazionale, 1906. Description An account of the resource After the Italians of New York, those of San Francisco (and Chicago) probably had the most well-developed network of periodical press, book press, theatre, literature of various types, associations and other forms of collective efforts, including unions. Crespi’s dramatic “you are there” description of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and of the killing fires that followed, would surely be considered one of the great accounts of that horrific event, had the work been written in or translated into English. “The night of the day following [the earthquake], after a forced march of 52 miles, on the hills that flanked the public gardens of the Golden Gate. . . suddenly, [I saw]. . . . the valley below, a valley on fire, an inferno. The eye could not see the extent of it. . . . there were sudden eruptions. . . .” This work also contains 27 photographs of the devastation, entitled “Tra le rovine” (Among the ruins). Like Pallavicini, Caminita and Cordiferro, Crespi was a political as well as a literary figure. An ardent and unremitting leader of California’s anarchists and socialists, Crespi (b. Milan, 1857 - d. San Francisco, 1948) was involved in a number of political newspapers and journals. He was author of <a href="https://italianamericanimprints.omeka.net/items/show/59">Per la libertà</a> (For Liberty!), the book of revelations of Carlo Camillo Di Rudio, an Italian patriot and naturalized American who participated in the failed attempt on Napoleon III and fought in the battle of Little Bighorn, q.v. Crespi also wrote sketches and stories (e.g., Fantasia di Natale (Christmas fantasy) in La Voce del Popolo (Voice of the People), December 25, 1915) and in 1900 gave life to the anarchist review La Protesta Umana (Human Protest) with Enrico Travaglio, and then Giuseppe Ciancabilla (q.v.). He also composed an anti-fascist tract, Fascismo: masnadieri antichi e moderni in 1943 in San Francisco. Among the other newspapers he founded or oversaw was Era Democratica (Democratic Age). In 1916, he attacked the “reactionary insanity” of Tom Mooney’s prosecution and trial for a bombing during San Francisco Preparedness Day. His pieces were printed in various newspapers throughout Italian America. In particular, in the last phase of his life, he collaborated on a series for the socialist La Parola del Popolo.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper Description An account of the resource During this period fiction, poetry and drama ranged from the sensational urban “mysteries” of Bernardino Ciambelli (never translated into English) to the arguably more literary and certainly more political fiction of Ezio Taddei. Unlike most of the others, Taddei enjoyed a significant, however brief, success in American intellectual circles, with English translations of most of his American works. Illustrations, such as those by Costantino Nivola (the first non-American admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters) in Parole Colletive, matched the sophistication of Taddei’s writing. Poetry was written largely in dialect rather than the standard Italian used by the novelists, could be found in the poetry, of Calicchiu Pucciu, or Francesco Sisca. Drama, more than the other genres, was largely though not exclusively devoted to political education, and was often the central entertainment of May Day picnics of Italian leftists consisting of performances of the plays of Gigi Damiani or other dramatists, discussed in Section VII. Italian American theatre began in New York in the 1870s. Theatre filled important emotional needs -- entertainment, a support system and social intercourse, supported by a network of fraternal and benevolent associations. Italian and European writers were introduced to immigrant audiences, whether in Italian, Neapolitan, Sicilian or other dialects. The Italian American experience furnished the subject matter for original plays written by Italian immigrant playwrights. Among them, Eduardo Migliaccio, known as Farfariello, who appears in one of the playbills advertising his performance here, made the Italian American immigrant the hero of his dramatic creations. Riccardo Cordiferro, several of whose play scripts appear here, concerned himself in his plays, as in his philosophical writings, with the social conditions of the Italian immigrant, and was less action-oriented than, say, the hard-core work of the sovversivi. Women in the theatre, like Ria Rosa, whose playbills appear here, enjoyed freedom and an outlet for creativity not available to women who played out their lives in traditional domestic roles. Antonio Maiori introduced Shakespeare to his immigrant audiences in his southern Italian dialect productions. Guglielmo Ricciardi, whose later memoirs appear in the collection, originated Italian American theatre in Brooklyn, and went on to a successful career in American theatre and cinema. Magazines reflected the politics of the publishers to a greater or lesser extent, whether of the nationalist (and later Fascist) Il Carroccio, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist Vita, Vincenzo Vacirca’s Il Solco, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist Zarathustra, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist Eresia, all of which are reflected in the collection. The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical La Follia di New York was was one of the earliest, in the 1890s, begun by the Sisca family (of whom Alessandro, pen name Riccardo Cordiferro, was the most celebrated), and was perhaps the single longest-lived magazine published in Italian in the U.S. Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of La Follia into a book that went through many editions, beginning in 1908 and continuing with an edition as late as 1965, which suggests that it financially sustained La Follia. Evidence of widespread cultural influence may be found in publications which included letters from enthusiastic readers or reviewers preceding or following the work itself, much like today’s review blurbs, and also lists of subscribers from around the entire country. Subject The topic of the resource While the amount of political literature (anarchist, socialist, fascist) in the collection suggests its prevalence in the Italian American community, it might well be the great survival rate of those materials that's responsible. The non-political imaginative literature created in Italian by the Italian community in the U.S., richer in wildly varying qualities, philosophies and interests than the political literature perhaps, provide a three-dimensional view of the Italian community.
