                <text>For a variety of reasons, Italians in America looking to publish their works in Italian did not or could not always find publishers in the U.S., and so they turned "homewards" to Italy. Sometimes they already had publishers in their native land, and there seemed to be a market for and interest in works about America.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The writers here sometimes looked homeward, to Italy (but also France and elsewhere), to find a publisher who was sufficiently interested in the adventures of an Italian in America -- the very title of Adolfo Rossi’s very entertaining &lt;em&gt;Un italiano in America --&lt;/em&gt; published in Milan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writers looked to foreign publishers to provide publication, and possibly readership, more in keeping with the traditional view of book publishing and book production values to which the more highly trained among the Italian journalists in America gravitated.  Some, like the Piedmontese aristocrat Mayor des Planches, who was Italian ambassador to Washington from 1901-1909, always intended to return to Italy, and did so.  Publication in Turin of his &lt;em&gt;Attraverso gli Stati Uniti – per l’emigrazione italiana&lt;/em&gt; occurred a good three or more years after his tour of duty was completed, and so he kept an admirable objectivity and cool demeanor toward the subject of his study. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cordiferro’s &lt;em&gt;Ode alla Calabria&lt;/em&gt;, published in Buenos Aires in 1933, but reflecting a literary salon that had taken place in Brooklyn some years before, mirrored the broadly felt literary interest of the Italian diaspora wherever Italians might be in the writing of other emigrated Italians, and the global nature of Italian culture.  &lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>Bernardy was a pioneering journalist in Italy in the early 20th century, and published this work on social life in Italian America. Born in 1880 in Florence, daughter of a Savoyard Italian mother and the American consul to Florence, she wrote for the popular &lt;em&gt;Il Corriere della Sera&lt;/em&gt; (The Evening Courier) and for the Italian magazine &lt;em&gt;La Donna&lt;/em&gt; (Woman). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She loved to travel, and in seeing how poorly Italians fared after they emigrated, not unlike Adolfo Rossi, q.v., the immigration of Italians became her regular journalistic theme. She denounced Italy’s failure to provide for its emigrants in other countries, especially given the deplorable conditions in which Italians worked in American factories.</text>
