Presentation on “Italians in Boston’s North End” by historian Anthony Sammarco.
Thursday, October 2nd at 6:30 pm at the Wilmington Memorial Library – 175 Middlesex Ave – Wilmington, MA
The North End, so welcoming of immigrants since the early 19th century, had become known as "Little Italy" by 1900 and had a large population of people who traced their ancestry to Southern Italy. During this time the North End saw the Paul Revere House become the Banca Italiana as well as the F.A. Goduti Cigar Factory. The neighborhood would evolve over the years but still has a cachet as an Italian American neighborhood. In this illustrated lecture, historian Anthony Sammarco will trace the Italians coming to Boston who created a thriving neighborhood in Boston.
