The Italian Americans: A History
This richly researched, beautifully illustrated volume illuminates an important, overlooked part of American history.
Looking beyond the familiar Little Italys and stereotypes fostered by The Godfather and The Sopranos, Laurino reveals surprising, fascinating lives: Italian-Americans working on sugar-cane plantations in Louisiana to those who were lynched in New Orleans; the banker who helped rebuild San Francisco after the great earthquake; families interned as “enemy aliens” in World War II. From anarchist radicals to “Rosie the Riveter” to Nancy Pelosi, and Andrew Cuomo; from traditional artisans to rebel songsters like Frank Sinatra, Dion, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, this book is both exploration and celebration of the rich legacy of Italian-American life.

1909: THE CHRONICLE OF AN ITALIAN IMMIGRANT
1909: THE CHRONICLE OF AN ITALIAN IMMIGRANT
116 years ago, Domenico, known as "Micu," left Calabria with his heart full of hope and the determination of a man who dares to dream of a better future. On March 4, 1909, he boarded a train in Gerace Marina, his destination Naples, where the ship Europa waited to carry him legally across the vast, unknown ocean to America.
But this is not just Micu’s story, this is a story of Italian immigration, like millions of others in the early 1900s, is full of hope and struggle. Families leave their homes with nothing but dreams of a better life in America. They push through, working hard to build a future for their children. Through all the hardships, they never forget where they came from, carrying their Italian roots and strength in every step they take.

The Origins of the Name Italia: A Tale Between History and Legend
Le Origini del Nome Italia: Un Racconto tra Storia e Leggenda
Who first introduced the name Italia, and what meaning did it hold?
Exploring the history of the name Italia is a journey through centuries and landscapes. From the sunlit fields of Calabria, where king Italus is said to have left the mark of his reign, to the vibrant cities of Greece and Rome, where the name accrued prestige and universal significance, the path leads us through the shadows of myths and the light of historical records. This is not a historical or political essay, nor is it a dissertation for experts in the field. It's simply a story, much like the ones from distant times, meant to spark a sense of wonder and curiosity about the fascinating origin of the name Italia.

La Cucina: The Regional Cooking of Italy
Fifty years ago, a group of Italian scholars gathered to discuss a problem: how to preserve traditional Italian cooking. They formed the Italian Academy of Cuisine to document classic recipes from every region. The academy’s more than seven thousand associates spread out to villages everywhere, interviewing grandmothers and farmers at their stoves, transcribing their recipes—many of which had never been documented before. This is the culmination of that research, an astounding feat—2,000 recipes that represent the patrimony of Italian country cooking.

Yet it is also patently absurd -- why should anyone break into song on the dramatic stage? -- and shrouded in mystique. In this engaging and entertaining guide, renowned music scholar Tim Carter unravels its many layers to offer a thorough introduction to Italian opera from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries.
