The Pizzonesi in Chicago: Bilingual edition: "They are all hard working and they all have houses of their own:"

The Pizzonesi in Chicago: Bilingual edition: "They are all hard working and they all have houses of their own:"

Dominic Candeloro
0/5 ( ratings)
This article includes a summary translation by Frank Cesario.This article is a preliminary case study of the migration patterns and
attitudes of a small sample of Chicago Italian Americans who originate from the
village of Pizzone, Province of Isernia. It helps to explain not only the history of
the migrants but that of the town from which they came. This impressionistic effort is based upon 10 selected oral history interviews, written responses to mailed questionnaires, a survey of the poetry and writings of Elio Santucci, and short published biographical information on two prominent labor leaders. Later
additional research will concentrate on statistical and printed sources in Italy as
well as additional Chicago source material.
Pizzone is a small town 724 meters above sea level in the northeast corner of
Molise near the borders of Abruzzo, Lazio, and Campania. Named for the
characteristic large peak above the town, "Pizzone" is just a few kilometers from Castel San Vincenzo with whose inhabitants the Pizzonesi have had a great deal of interaction both in Italy and in Chicago.
