About This Item
San Morino: Patrons of Italian Culture, 2007. First edition. hardcover. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed and inscribed by the editor Gloria Ricci Lothrop on the title page. An anthology of essays on the Italian settlers' experience in the American West. Introduction by Andrew F. Rolle. It is not by mere chance that two of the main symbols of Los Angeles are linked to stories of Italian migrants to the American West. Olvera Street was once known as "Wine Street." It is there that the early Italian community operated wineries and where its social meeting place was built. In another sector of Los Angeles the famous Watts Towers still point toward the sky fulfilling the dream of the Italian artist Simone Rodia. 345 pages with index. Illustrated from photographs.
