The Italians Are Coming to the North End

In this lecture Mr. Sammarco will discuss how immigrants from Italy came to Boston and created a neighborhood that was known as “Little Italy.” With many rare photographs of Boston’s North End, this lecture will show the streetscapes, homes, places of worship and familiar places that make this neighborhood so unique.
