THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT
A Day to Honor All Italian Immigrants. This day is set aside for the parents,
grandparents, great-grandparents, and beyond – every Italian who journeyed to
America from Italy, regardless of the route. It’s to honor those who sought to make a
better life for themselves and their families, to remember them for the sacrifices they
endured, and to thank them for the opportunities they provided us and for their
contributions to America.
It’s also a day to think about your ancestors, where they came from, and where their
ancestors came from; and to learn something about Italy and your heritage.

The History of Italian Immigrants
Most
Italian
immigrants
had
a
difficult
adjustment
to
life
in
America,
but
many
left
Italy
because
of
the
difficulties
there.
Frank
Sorrentino,
Professor
of
Political
Science
at
St.
Francis
College
in
Brooklyn,
New
York,
provides
an
overview
of
the
political
and
economic
environment
in
Italy
that
led
the
immigrants
on
their
journey
to
America.
He
mentions
the
challenges
of
the
trip
across
the
ocean
and
the
conditions
the
immigrants
faced
in
a
new
country;
and
provides
the
background
for
an
informative
lecture
on
how
the
past
influences
the
future,
and
how
the
history
of
the
Italian
immigrant
has
been
used
by
the
media
to
create
negative stereotypes.
