<em><strong>Scritti politici e letterarii: raccolti ed ordinati da Giovanni Di Gregorio</strong></em> [Political and Literary Writings: gathered and ordered by Giovanni di Gregorio]. <strong>New York: Venanzi Memorial Committee, 1921.</strong>
Description
An account of the resource
This compilation of the writings of Flavio Venanzi (b. Roma, 1882; d. New York, 1920) has a book cover design by sculptor Onorio Ruotolo (q.v.), a eulogy by Enrico Leone, and an introduction by Arturo Giovannitti (q.v.). <br /><br />Venanzi was <em>Il Proletario</em>’s correspondent during the trial of Ettor, Giovannitti and Caruso in 1912, during the Lawrence, Mass., textile mill strike. He was also the director or manager of a short lived but sophisticated and beautiful magazine called <em>Vita </em>(q.v.) edited by Giovannitti, and an influential member of the Federazione Socialista Italiana (FSI). Published by the Venanzi Memorial Committee on East 12th Street, where the left had many of its offices; the printer was Avanti Publishing Company, whose name is otherwise unknown to me.<br /><br />These literary and political essays, gathered after Venanzi's early death in 1920 at age 37, probably from pneumonia, reflected his wide-ranging interests. Like his friend, Giovannitti, Venanzi was a voracious reader and writer who produced as many articles and essays on art and literature (including the classical Dante, Boccaccio, Ariosto, as well as more modern writers such as Foscolo, Leopardi and D’Annunzio) as he did on political subjects. By reading to her from Dante, Venanzi taught Italian to Italophile Helen Keller, who wrote an introduction to Giovannitti’s <em>Arrows in the Gale</em>.<br /><br />During the debate on whether Italy should enter World War I, Venanzi was a leading neutralist. He was also among those members of the FSI and the IWW who embraced communism, and who, on November 6, 1921, organized the Federazione dei Lavoratori Italiani d’America, a section of the American Labor Alliance (ALA), located on East 10th Street in Manhattan. The ALA aimed at “uniting all avant-garde elements of the Italian subversive movement in the U.S.”

Description
An account of the resource
In these non-fiction works, Italians reflected upon themselves and their American experiences. Representing the non-<em>sovversivi</em> 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. <br /><br />The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s <em>Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America</em>, 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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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
Facing page translation by C. G. Moroni, Professor of Italian, of this essay, which is dated 1861.<br /><br />This U.S. Civil War era work argues against secession of the Southern States from the Union. <br /><br />The translator's address to the author explains that wanting to do "something for the country which now claims my sympathies, I made the translation into Italian of your address, with the intention of disseminating it among those of my countrymen" who are unable to read or understand English. <br /><br />Moroni notes his having escaped the repression of Italians under foreign domination (Bourbonic rule) in this era. Thus, he seems to have been one of the Italian exiles, like Eleuterio Felice Foresti, who came to the United States in the early-mid-19th century. Many of the exiles held themselves out as teachers of Italian to support themselves.<br /><br />Joseph Reed Ingersoll, attorney, represented his Pennsylvania district in the U.S. House of Representatives for several terms, and was minister of the U.S. to England in 1852, appointed by President Millard Fillmore. After about a year, he retired to private life to pursue his literary interests.

Description
An account of the resource
Siciliani (b. 1879 Ciro, Calabria - d. Roma 1938) was capo (or head) di Stato Maggiore (the general staff) to General Pietro Badoglio at the time of publishing this work about his trip to America. <br /><br />The work begins with a facsimile of a handwritten letter by Badoglio to Sicliani exhorting him to use his trip to America to explain how glorious Italy's war victories have been. I have not perused <em>Il Progresso</em> or other American Italian newspapers to find out if there are reports of Siciliani's visit. American Italian reactions to the trip would be interesting to know.<br /><br />Siciliani rose to become a general. He was the deputy governor of Cyrenaica (January 1929-March 1930) in Italian East Africa, representing Badoglio, who had become the governor of Tripolitana and Cyrenaica beginning in January, 1929. Earlier in that decade, he had been military attaché to Brazil and aide-de-camp to the King.

L'Azione, 1913.</strong>
Description
An account of the resource
Biblioteca di Propaganda Rivoluzionaria. A short report written by German anarchist Max Nettlau. It was published by the book arm of <em>L’Azione</em>, a critical weekly of revolutionary propaganda based in Barre, VT, where Luigi Galleani settled after postal authorities made it too "hot" for him to remain in Newark or East Boston.<br /><p>Max Heinrich Hermann Reinhardt Nettlau<span> (b.</span> 1865 – d. 1944) was a German anarchist and historian. Raised in Vienna, he lived there until the <em>anschluss</em> to Nazi Germany in 1938. Nettlau retained his Prussian (later German) nationality throughout his life. A student of the Welsh language, he spent time in London where he joined the Socialist League and met<span> William Morris, and</span> anarchists such as<span> Errico Malatesta and Peter Kropotkin, with</span><span> </span>whom he remained in contact for the rest of his life. </p>
<p>In the 1890s, realizing that a generation of socialist and anarchist militants from the mid-19th century was passing away and their archives of writings and correspondence being destroyed, he concentrated his efforts and a recent modest inheritance from his father on acquiring and rescuing such collections from destruction. (Much of that collection made its way in the 1930s to the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam.) He also made many interviews of veteran militants for posterity. <br /><br />Nettlau wrote biographies of many famous anarchists, including Mikhail Bakunin and Élisée Reclus, as well as one of Errico Malatesta, q.v., published by <em>Il Martello</em> in New York in 1922. He also wrote a seven-volume history of anarchism.</p>

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-<em>sovversivi</em> 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. <br /><br />The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s <em>Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America</em>, 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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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).

<em><strong>Della convenienza che l'Italia artistica ed industriale partecipi all'esposizione di Saint-Louis (Missouri)</strong></em> [Of the Advantage for Artistic and Industrial Italy taking part in the Exposition of Saint-Louis (Missouri)].<strong> Torino: Tip. Roux e Viarengo, 1904.</strong>
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. <br /><br />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.

An account of the resource
<span>Angelica Balabanoff (b. Ukraine 1878, d. Rome 1965) was a Russian Jewish–Italian communist and social democratic activist. She served as secretary of the Comintern and later became a political party leader in Italy.</span><br /><br />This poetry collection includes French, German & English (self-consciously promoting Balabanoff's cosmpolitanism) as well as Italian poetry by Balabanoff, who loved Italians, and lived in Russia, where she was highly respected. However, she was disappointed with the Bolshevik regime and discouraged by the fate of the revolution, according to Enrico Arrigoni, q.v.<br /><br />On the cover is a laudatory blurb by Charles Edward Russell about Balabanoff's "indefatigable sympathy with her fellow man." Her <em>My Life as a Rebel</em> remains in print, having gone through several editions.

<p>As he did in his work on Italian-American journalism, q.v., Carnovale provides at the end of this pamphlet several pages of, as translated from the Italian, "judgments of American newspapers on my bilingual book, <em>Why Italy Entered into the Great War - Perche l'Italia e entrata nella Grande Guerra</em>, from which the chapter entitled "Solidarietà Umana" is reproduced in the present work." (Note that he also lists that larger work on the cover of this chapter excerpt under his name.)<br /><br />Those newspapers reviewing the larger work included The Chicago Tribune, and other Chicago newspapers, the Los Angeles Examiner, the Washington Star, the Detroit Free Press, the New York Times and New York Tribune, among others.<br /><br />The collection contains the December 15, 1925 issue of Ernesto Valentini's <em>Zarathustra</em>, in which a review of Carnovale's work appears at p. 33.<br /><br /></p>

The collection is rich in hard to find magazines and/or newspapers like Ernesto Valentini's <em>Zarathustra</em>, Vincenzo Vacirca's <em>Il Solco </em>and <em>La Strada</em>, Aldino Felicani's <em>La Controcorrente</em>, <em>Il Proletario</em>, Enrico Arrigoni's <em>Eresia</em>, Carlo Tresca's <em>Il Martello</em> and <em>Guardia Rossa</em>, Antonino Capraro's <em>Alba Nuova</em>, Arturo Giovannitti's <em>Vita</em>, Agostino De Biasi's <em>Il Carroccio, </em>T. Lucidi's <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em>, Guido Podrecca's and Gabriele Galantara's <em>L'Asino</em> (this last mostly published in Rome) and others.<br /><br />As Francesco Durante rightly observed in <em>Italoamericana</em>, understanding the contribution of journalism among Italian Americans - almost solely in Italian at the outset - to the community life, as well as to the culture of the immigrant community, is central to understanding that community. <br /><br />Virtually all of the writers whose book-length works we see and celebrate in the collection, whether political or not, began their writing careers with newspaper or magazine writing. Some even immigrated to the U.S. precisely to do just that, but those were exceptional.<br /><br />The politics of the magazines and newspapers ran the gamut from left to right, and some - e.g., <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - were not really political in that sense at all. The separation often observed between the political and the literary sections of the magazines is surprising and deserves examination all by itself: one can find the stories of Clara Vacirca, married to and sharing the political leanings of the socialist Vincenzo Vacirca, published in the right-wing <em>Il Carroccio</em>, and less overtly political writers like Salvatore Benanti and Federico Mennella often contributed literary pieces to leftist periodicals like <em>La Follia di New York. </em>For example, Mennella wrote the dialect column for <em>La Follia </em>for some time. The catholic nature of the magazines in the literary culture of the Italians reflected one of its strengths.<br /><br />Whatever the mixture of news from Italy and from America, whether "news events," or political or cultural commentary, short stories or poems, whether from Italians still in Italy or immigrants in the U.S. or translated from German, French. English or Russian - all of which were quite prevalent - or elaborations of philosophies of living, sometimes imported but sometimes "home-grown" in the U.S., the magazines and newspapers provide a rich insight into this world. <br /><br />Beyond the articles themselves were, in many cases, letters to the editors and lists of new subscribers (and the cities and towns they lived in), both of which enlarge our understanding of what parts of the immigrant community were reached and affected by the printed word. <br /><br />This, too, is a subject that deserves close examination, and has been discussed recently, for example, in a fine essay by historian Adam Quinn discussing whether the <em>Cronaca Sovversiva</em> of the anti-organizational anarchist Luigi Galleani was a "seditious rag" or a community newspaper - or both. Quinn clearly concludes that it was both. The same can be said for <em>Il Martello</em>, <em>La Follia di New York</em>, <em>Il Carroccio</em> and many of the other political magazines - they were part of the "glue" that held together the Italian community quite beyond their immediate political messages.

Description
An account of the resource
<em>Alba Nuova</em> (1921-1924) was the official organ of the Federazione dei Lavoratori Italiani d'America, a section of the American Labor Alliance, formed on November 6, 1921 by members of the Federazione Socialista Italiana and the Italian section of the I.W.W. who embraced communism. It ran for four years, succeeded by the communist daily, <em>Il Lavoratore</em> (1924-1931). Among its founding members were Antonino (or Anthony) Capraro, the founder of <em>Alba Nuova</em> itself, and Ignazio Camarda, Frank Bellanca and Flavio Venanzi. See Bencivenni's <em>Italian Immigrant Radical Culture</em>.<br /><br />This issue (No. 2, October-November) of a review that was primarily the organ of the Italian section of the Communist Workers Party, includes a significant text of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, headed "Sacco e Vanzetti Insegnano" [Sacco and Vanzetti Teach]. It is a letter from Dedham Jail, dated October 18, 1921 (a few months after the two were sentenced to death, and a couple of weeks before the argument for a retrial would take place), about six years before they would actually be executed: "Noi Non Abbiamo Paura di Morire" [We are not Afraid to Die].<br /><br />In general, <em>Alba Nuova</em> published articles on political theory and idology, and covered local and international news, with special attention given to strikes, revolutionary upheavals, and political repression. At the same time, it held literary and artistic expression in very high regard: "Art is the highest expression of the human mind." May 1, 1922. By 1923, it claimed 6,000 subscribers and a circulation of nearly 20,000 copies. It pressed for inclusion of women in local political organizations as members with rights identical to those of men.

<em>Imaginative literature of the great migration: Fiction, poetry, drama, music, and art in books, magazines, and other works on paper</em>
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 <em>Parole Colletive</em>, 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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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 <em>sovversivi</em>. 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. <br /><br />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) <em>Il Carroccio</em>, or Arturo Giovannitti’s literary but also politically leftist <em>Vita</em>, Vincenzo Vacirca’s <em>Il Solco</em>, Ernesto Vallentini’s socialist <em>Zarathustra</em>, or Enrico Arrigoni’s anarchist-individualist <em>Eresia</em>, all of which are reflected in the collection. <br /><br />The generically (and gently) leftist and anti-clerical <em>La Follia di New York</em> 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. <br /><br />Cordiferro’s brother, Marziale Sisca, packaged the caricatures of the charismatic Enrico Caruso that adorned the pages of <em>La Follia</em> 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 <em>La Follia</em>. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.

<strong>Sonata<em> elegiaca: dramma </em></strong>[Elegiac Sonata: Drama].<strong> Brooklyn: Tartamella/Soc. Tipografica Italiana, 1921.</strong>
Description
An account of the resource
Ludovico (really Michele) Caminita (b. Palermo, 1878 - d. New York 1943?) had one of the lengthiest, most varied and colorful lives of all the Italian anarchists in America, starting or writing a number of newspapers (with politics ranging from left to right) in various locales, writing in all genres, and the distinction of being one of the anarchists the Bureau of Investigation wanted to deport back to Italy in the wake of the Wall Street bombing of September 16, 1920. Durante, Marazzi, Bencivenna and Zimmer all have extensive treatments of Caminita, with excerpts of some of his work in Durante and Marazzi.<br /><br />This copy was inscribed by Caminita on August 22, 1935 to Dr. Cloyd H. Marvin, rector and president of George Washington University. <br /><br />The introductory text itself explains that the drama, first performed on May 16, 1921 at the Olympic Theatre in New York, starred the most celebrated actress in Italian American theatre, Mimì Aguglia, and was directed by Clemente Giglio.<br /><br />There's an added poignancy in the fact that at the time of its premier performance, Caminita was awaiting the decision of the American government on whether he would be deported to Italy for what it believed was his involvement in the recent Wall Street bombing, all due to Caminita's launch of another anarchist newspaper, <em>La Jacquerie</em>. From 1908 to World War I, he worked at the office of <em>Mother Earth, </em>the anarchist publication of Emma Goldman<em>. </em>See Marcella Bencivenna's <em>Italian Immigrant Radical Culture </em>at 122-124 on this play and other work of Caminita.<br /><br />Kenyon Zimmer, in his fine <em>Immigrants against the State: Yiddish and Italian Anarchism in America</em>, has an extensive discussion of Caminita that shows his development and political evolution over time.<br /><br /><em>Sonata elegiaca</em> was an instant hit, perhaps explaining why it was issued by two different publishers in the same year (the other being A. Fontanella in Paterson, New Jersey). The “Second thousand” ("Secondo migliaio") on a copy published in the same year as the play’s first production is thus probably not puffery. <br /><br />This still-early edition manages to have included, in an appendix, laudatory reviews of the play by luminaries of the Italian American literary set, including Riccardo Cordiferro, Luigi Roversi and Italo Stanco, among others, in Italian newspapers and magazines, such as <em>La Follia di New York</em> and <em>Il Progresso Italo-Americano</em>. <br /><br /><em>Sonata elegiaca</em> follows the life of a rich, married American writer, Errico Parson, who supports the cause of the workers during a strike out of an extra-marital love for a typical proletariat militant, Lillian Owen. The love triangle extends further: Parson’s jealous wife, with the help of her admirer, manufacturer Giovanni Oliver, conspires to accuse and imprison the radical Owen. Their efforts bring success, as Lillian is convicted of perpetrating a dynamiting attempt, and dies in prison.<br /><br />As for Caminita's other work, <span style="font-weight:400;">Martino Marazzi's <em>Voices of Italian America: a History of Early italian American Literature with a Critical Anthology </em>(Madison, 2004) contains an excerpt from his 1924 <em>Nell'isola delle lagrime (Ellis Island)</em> in translation. Durante also has a good biographical sketch as well as a translation of other work of Caminita's.<br /><br />The Collection has two other works by Caminita, <em>Obici: biografia</em> and <em>Che cosa è la religione?</em> </span>
