Produktbeschreibung
The North End - Boston's Little Italy - is an enclave with a rich history and a culture rooted in family, food and faith. Once home to hardworking immigrant families from Italy, it was also the neighborhood of Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Organizations like the North End Industrial Home and the North Benet Street School helped to educate and serve the community. With St. Leonard's of Port Maurice Church at its heart, la via vecchia (the old way) is woven through its narrow, winding streets, brick buildings, restaurants and pastry shops. Today, neighbors and tourists alike meet for coffee and cannolis, unaware of the neighborhood's complex history. Local author and resident Patricia Annino reveals the resilient journey from one of America's poorest slums to a place of opportunity.

Autorenporträt
Patricia M. Annino is an estate planning attorney in Boston with more than thirty years of experience serving the needs of families, individuals and closely held businesses. She is of Irish/Italian descent and lives in the North End with her husband. She has respect and admiration for her family's resilience and perseverance in their journey from Italy to Boston. When walking through the streets of the North End and attending Mass at St. Leonard's, she feels the deep connection to her Italian roots and marvels at how the soul of the Italian immigrant remains omnipresent in the enclave.
