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).

Title A name given to the resource Della convenienza che l'Italia artistica ed industriale partecipi all'esposizione di Saint-Louis (Missouri) [Of the Advantage for Artistic and Industrial Italy taking part in the Exposition of Saint-Louis (Missouri)]. 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.
