The Emigrants

By Michael Rumbin

New Haven was booming. By 1913, Wooster Square was called 'Little Naples', its own enclave where Italian was spoken in all the shops, banks, churches and doctors' offices. Even the ticket clerks at Poli's Theater on Church Street spoke Italian. They came for a better life for themselves and their families, present or future. Meet Tony, as streetwise boy and Louisa his muse, one from the South, one from the North, one living in the Square, one on The Hill; both Italian emigrants trying to fit into their new home. But old family habits and prejudices die hard. Let Michael Rumbin take you back a step in time, to colorful characters, witty dialogue, great food and long-lasting contributions our ancestors created for all of us to share and enjoy.
