L'Emigrazione Italiana in America: osservazioni [Italian Emigration to America: observations]. Piacenza: Tip. del Amico del Popolo, 1887.

Observations by the well-known founder of the Scalabrinian order, Giovanni Battista Scalabrini (1839-1905), the founder of two other religious orders, and a prelate who visited Italian immigrants in the U.S. and in Brazil. Some discussion of issues particular to emigration to the U.S. are in this work, but the work is broader than that.

Scalabrini had strong devotees throughout his life, although his modesty led him several times to refuse elevations within the Church that would lead to his becoming a Cardinal.

The author, as Monsignor Scalabrini, inscribed this copy - which appears to have been deaccessioned from a library in Florence -  on the cover.
