Title A name given to the resource Per le nuove generazioni [For the New Generations]. New York: Nicoletti Bros Press, 1911. Description An account of the resource Born in Modena in 1877, Forzato-Spezia emigrated with her husband to the U.S. in 1891, and settled in West Hoboken, NJ. She opened a bookstore there renowned for its large selection of booklets of socialist propaganda and social novels. By 1907, she had joined the Federazione Socialista Italiana, and her name became associated with that of important revolutionary socialists and syndicalists, such as Edmondo Rossoni, Giacinto Menotti Serrati, Camillo Cianfarra and others. Forzato-Spezia gave dozens of lectures (e.g., Il Vate Etneo, q.v.) to socialist and anarchist gatherings. She regularly wrote articles and poems for radical publications, emphasizing education and knowledge as a precondition of revolutionary organizing. In the instant work, she attacked traditional teaching and advocated a rational, secular and libertarian education, rather than that of conventional schools, which had become "the most powerful instrument of domination and enslavement." She criticized average Italian immigrants as "squat, lazy and slack." With the outbreak of WWI, in nationalist pride she joined with Rossoni in support of Italy's intervention. In 1915, she founded a fiercely nationalist newspaper with Rossoni and Onorio Ruotolo. She returned to Italy in 1926, and later registered in the Fascist Party, openly in favor of the regime. The bio of the author is drawn from Marcella Bencivenni. Preface by Eligio Strobino, an anarchist who (according to Rudolf Vecoli) a few years later, was among those who were discouraged by the deportation of anarchists like Galleani, and the tar-and-feathering of anti-war and labor organizers, like Nino Capraro, and were thereby silenced, dropping out of the anarchist movement.

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).
