Intro: |
I have dedicated this section
to the Italian American people for their passion in
preserving their traditions and culture. Despite
their struggles and despair, living in horrendous
conditions of tenement living amid the crime, filth
and disease, the Italian immigrant overcame their
obstacles of discrimination, illiteracy and poverty
giving place to a new image of productive and
successful American citizens. |

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Shrine in East Harlem:
A
wonderful website dedicated to the people who helped
make this great festive tradition possible. This
website portrays a yearly tradition that has been in
existence among the Italian Immigrants since
1881 and will continue to exist even into the
future. Lots of research , photos and valuable
historical information has been invested by
its webmaster in the preparation of
this website. A definite must see. |
|
Web Link: |
East Harlem Giglio: Giglio di San
Antonio in East Harlem, is an Italian Festa in
continium
since the early 19th century in East Harlem. Also
lots of pictures, current as well as historical can
be viewed in this website. There are links to other
websites both in America and italy that are devoted
to or sponsors of Giglio Feasts. This is also a must
see. |
|
Web Link: |
The Old Neighborhood Online: This website
is dedicated to East Harlem and the great people who
once ( some still do ) called it home. It has
enabled people to reconnect with their roots on a
dally basis. Charles DeMonte, the creator of this
website and a native of East Harlem stresses how the
Giglio Boys and the East Harlem Reunions have
revitalized the spirit of East Harlem. Though this
website is fairly new, it has great potentials in
being an informative site, teaching us about the
Italian people and their passion for preserving
their culture and traditions of the old
neighborhood. This is a definite must see. |
