Levate dalla civilta americana, dalla sua lingua, dalla sua letteratura, dalla sua arte, dalla sua scienza tutti gli elementi italiani e non rimane una ci- vilta! Percio amatela questa civilta come cosa vostra, difendetela, rendetela piu grande e piii forte. Non farete che tener alte le grandi tradizioni del passato. Cosa dovete a questo paese, fratelli, ospiti di questa repubblica?
Fedelta agli ideali italiani, lealta agli ideali americani. Chi in questo paese vi offende e vi tradisce manca agli ideali della sua gente e li tradisce, come I'italiano che con abbietto egoismo svergogna la sua italianita, tradisce tragicamente la nostra Italia. Quando forti ed arditi, buoni ed intelligenti avrete raggiunto la meta di essere i primi ed i migliori cittadini degli Stati Uniti, tenendo sempre alto il vanto di pura italianita, fonte di ogni bene, sentirete nel profondo dell'animo la fratellanza dei popoli e, servendola con abnegazione e con lealta, riconosce- rete in questa bella America la figlia spirituale dell'Italia, e I'amerete.
Disciplinati e leali, consci dei vostri duplici doveri, sarete benedetti dal paese che vi ospita e sarete degni figli della nostra Italia. Pensate al vostro sangue, alia vostra razza. Vogliamo i nostri figli sani e forti di corpo e di mente. Vogliamo per loro una istruzione di vantaggi mo- rali e materiali ed una ricreazione che li mantenga onesti e felici.
Questo chie- dete e questo otterrete. L'ltalia ha bisogno di tutto il prestigio morale e materiale che le possono dare i suoi figli lontani. Fate il bene di tutta la colonia e servirete l'ltalia con giudizio e con abnegazione. Siate fieri dell'opera vostra. Siate fieri della vostra italianita, e rendetela cosi santamente bella e forte da fare si che con Erasmo tutti esclamino: Siete la razza bella! Siete la razza buona! Siete la razza forte! Siete la razza benedetta! Siete la razza eletta! In the present economical crisis, many of the smaller banks have disappeared.
The loss has been immeasurable, for these banks not only carried on the function normally belonging to them, but fostered numerous interests to the benefit of Italians, and I remember with affection and ad- miration many of the men connected with these institutions. It dates back to A. For centuries, the Banco di Napoli has lived on unshaken. The outstanding characteristic of the Banco di Napoli, is that it has a patrimonial capital, but no stock and no stock holders.
Its yearly profits serve in part to increase its surplus, and in part for the promotion of public welfare and charity. It is, there- fore, a unique contribution to the public welfare of Italians in Chicago. The president is Mr. Eduardo Maglione, whom I have always found most interested in everything concerning the development of the Italian colony. Eduardo Ma- glione, chairman, Cav. Campana, Joseph Melchione, Cav. Pietro Russo, Cav, Dr.
Marimpietri, was bom in Barere, Aquila, Italy, W; Head of Price Department A. Amalgamated Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, ranks among the oldest and strongest of the labor banks, now operating in the United States, and is the only labor bank in Chicago. Founded as a labor bank, the real interests of the workmen have always been its special concern. Loans to workmen are made on the signatures of two fellow work- men, whose guarantee need only be their wage earning power. In this case the personal initiative of an Italian has contributed to the welfare of thousands of all nationalities.
It gives me special satisfaction to write of one line of production in which my countrymen excel to an incredible degree. This is the production of fine pastry. They also pre- pare a variety of frozen dainties that would delight many an American epicure, if he knew that such exquisite deserts are within his reach. One of the most ancient of these pasticcerie was founded in , by Mr.
In this case something essentially Italian is preserved in its full excellency, and is at the disposal of those who wish something superfine and unique in the line of re- freshments. The firm owns its building at Taylor Street. Ferrara was born at Nola, Province of Naples, come to this country in , at the age of fiteen, and worked his way up to his present successful position. Among the distinctive Italian food products that are increasingly transforming the American table is the Italian bread. The Italian bread differs from the typical Amer- ican variety because it is simpler in the ingredients used.
It contains no sugar, milk, potatoes, and similar substances, nor is any kind of shortening used. It depends for its excellency on special machinery devised to develop volume and perfection of form and on the high proteine contents of the flour. The absence of shortening gives it special crispness and allows it to dry without ever becoming stale — the basis of economy for the Italian household, since the dry bi'ead has invaluable uses in all kind of Italian dishes that Americans, if they knew them, would hugely enjoy. Italian bread is sold not only to Italians, but erroneously called Vienna bread, is sold in huge quantities by restaurants, delicatessen stores and other foodstores of all nationalities.
Erie Street, is the oldest Italian Bakery in Chicago. It opened in on Clark Street, then the most important Italian center, and was founded by Alessandro Gonnella from Barga, Tuscany, who, later took his brothers-in-law Lawrence and Nicholas Marcucci into partnership. The company was incorporated in , when Alessandro Gonnella retired, and his brothers-in-iaw and his son continued the business. In the Gonnella Co. The Gonnella Bakery Co. In this they excel, to my knowledge, any bakery in Chicago. They produce a large variety of high grade cheese. Parmesan is well known, other varieties will be as greatly appreciated as they become better known to the general public.
He came to this country in , and began at once to import and manufacture Italian food specialties. Ehrat Cheese Company, Inc. They also make a specialty of Ravioli in jars and in cans, assuring their success by using only the very best ingredients. They own their own cheese factories at Campbellsport, Wis. Count Bolognesi comes from Northern Italy, the very cradle of the manufacture of Italian cheese. He is, therefore, well acquainted with the best methods used in ob- taining the highest quality of Parmesan cheese especially, but also of the other kinds of cheese which he puts on the market.
It was in the days when Italian immigrants came pouring into America, and they naturally still preferred articles to which they were accustomed. Italian cigars were first in line of demand among them. The heavy customs duty placed this cigar beyond reach of the immigrant's purse, and the Marquis De Nobili foresaw the possibilities and the future of an industry that would perfect an Italian style of cigar in this country.
The Marquis De Nobili is still president and guiding spirit of the corpora- tion. The marvelous growth in popularity of De Nobili Cigar is due to its distinctive character. Only the finest selections of prime quality Kentucky and Tennessee tobaccos are used. Then they are packed in special absorbent paper and rightly seasoned. Ovnng to the seasoning process and in order to meet the huge demand for these cigars, it is neces- sary to maintain a large supply on hand and there are often anywhere from fifty to sixty millions cigars in the various departments.
The De Nobili cigar is made strong enough to give sufficient satisfaction without inhaling. The smoking public has been led to believe that a cigar, in order to be good, must be mild so that the smoke may be inhaled, but, if a smoke is strong enough. This is the principle to which the De Nobili Cigar Company has adhered successfully all these years, and it has been found that those accustomed to this type of cigar seldom switch to any other.
News from the Circuit Court of Cook County
The De Nobili Cigar Company also makes other kinds of cigars. The IVIarquis De Nobili, whom I know well personally, is a most distinguished man and has been for years interested in the social welfare of workers. Years ago, he was Socialist Member in the Italian Parliament. I was conducting an investigation into the condition of Italian immigrant children in New York which was generally deplorable. I judged somewhat of the condition of the childi-en in a district by visiting the public schools. When I visited the public school nearest to the De Nobili Cigar Company, in Long Island, I found that, while in other districts Italian immigrant children were generally under- fed and below par physically in every way, the children who came from families era- ployed by the Marquis De Nobili were all in good condition, and this because the Marquis De Nobili paid higher wages than others and was generally interested in the moral and physical wellbeing of his employees.
He finished the Technical Schools in Italy and came to this country in He is a member of the Elks Club. Italians became more and more interested in food products and established them- selves permanently in the manufacture of candy. He served in the army and then became chief conductor in the Italian Railroad, Government owned. In October he came to this country, but on account of the financial crisis, the country was going through, he did not find proper employment and was compelled to accept any kind of work.
Yet in , he started in business with the savings of the last six years, but the en- terprise was not successful. He left his American business associates, starting over again alone.
Pasquinelli for whom he had paved the way. With the help of his brothers and his brother-in-law, he has founded a business which has grown to be one of the most important candy jobbing houses, not only in Chicago, but also in the Middle West. He does business in many States, deals with many Italians, and it is undoubtedly due to his influence that the number of Italians opening stores where candy and fruit is sold is constantly increasing. Educated in Italy, she perfected herself in English after coming to this country, and always delighted me with her efficiency, her beauty and her gentleness.
She left her position because she got married. The number of Italians engaged in the grocery business is very large. No more colorful career can be mentioned than that of A. He was born at Lugo nei Marsi, Province of Aquila, Abruzzi, in , son of a fairly well to do, typical nineteenth century sheep broker. He received a grammar school education and began his business experience with his father. At seventeen, he got married and had a young son and at nineteen, in order to better support his family, he came to the United States.
His first occupation was that of lumber jack. Then he went as whale hunter in Alaska, coal miner in Colorado, again lumber jack in the State of Washington. In , he came to Chicago and worked as a grocery clerk for eight dollars a week. In , his wife joined him with their young son, and in the A. Paris Cheese Company was formed which financially and otherwise advanced by leaps and bounds.
In , the A. Paris Cheese Company was re-organized as the Paris and Giuliano Importing Company and grew rapidly until in , in spite of the depression, their quarters were doubled and they now claim to own the largest store of its kind in the United States. Not only the staple delicacies imported from Italy can be found there, the purest oil and a large variety of salami and different kinds of cheese, but also ail the finest food products from Spain, France and Greece.
The manufacture of macaroni and noodles is almost exclusively Italian. The num- ber of firms is constantly increasing, and i,he output increases in proportion. They came to this country when Frank was seven and Nicholas four, and received their education from the Chicago Public Schools. Both served in the war, and when the war was over, they used the bonus that the State of Illinois gave for serving in the army to start in business. In , they founded a very small egg noodle factory.
I remember with delight, the eagerness with which they entered upon their enterprise and how insistent they were in using only the best material. Until then egg noodles had been produced of a lower grade, using imported Chinese egg powder. They used durum wheat instead of soft wheat and in every way strove to produce a superior article which objective they certainly have reached. The products of Traficanti Brothers are used in all parts of the United States and are appreciated for the high standard unfailingly maintained. Traficanti Brothers were the first ones to use the Dupont cellophane package, which now is in universal use and insures absolute cleanliness of the product, even when it is much handled.
Over 2,, packages were sold last year. Born of Italian parents in New Orleans, La. Completed a business course at the Spencerian Business College in Milwaukee. Entered the hotel business in a minor position at the age of sixteen and has held nearly all positions from bus boy to headwaiter and steward in the Restaurant Department and from bell boy to manager in the Hotel Department.
He has held executive positions for the past seventeen years, with leading hotels and clubs of the Middle West, has been very active in Hotel Association and has been honored with many offices in local and national organizations. He is a singer of some note and a lover of music. Has attained considerable prominence in the Golfing World through his ability as a golfer. He finished the Technical Schools in Italy and came to Chicago when he was eighteen years old.
He is a designer and manufacturer of distinctive jewelry and has often been entrusted with important commissions when the Italian colony of Chicago offered a collective gift — such as the sword of honor to General Diaz and the laurel crown to Premier Mussolini. He imports Italian jewelry, deals in diamonds and watches and undertakes special repairs in antiques. For fifteen years he has been interested in the work of the Hull House where for thirteen years he has been a resident.
Another field in which the Italians have been pioneers and in which they still pre- dominate is that of terrazzo mosaic and tile work. They gave beauty to the walls, but, also, gave their American brothers beauty underfoot and then some feared that the immigration from Southern Europe might lower the standard of living. D'Ambrosio whose father Giovanni was one of the founders in , and the last survivor of the original firm. At his death it passed into the hands of his sons.
Giovanni D'Ambrosio was born at Meduno and received his training as artist in mosaic work in Venice. He exhibited at the World's Fair in and was awarded a gold medal. He died in and was succeeded by his two sons. Both boys completed their high school course and then a technical course at the Chicago Technical College. As children they spent some time in Italy. After finishing their studies they entered their father's business, Giovanni D'Ambrosio was a pioneer in the mosaic work, and his work was among the very first to be done in the Middle West.
It is they who have executed the beautiful mosaic work which, for instance, adorns the Chicago Board of Trade and the Tribune Tower. If this be true, then the Italian emigrant from Southern Italy has made the American nation, for the Italians predo- minate now as tailors, particularly as designers, and they are important not only in numbers, but in excellency of achievement.
It is the Italian designer who has been instrumental in transforming, for the better, the manufacture of ready made clothes, so that well cut, trimlooking garments are no longer the prerogative of the well to do. The Italian tailors are predominantly of Southern extraction. Tailoring had reach- ed a high standard in Italy many years ago, but, while the cloth was manufactured, almost exclusively, in the large mills of Northern Italy, the manufacture of the clothes fell more and more to the share of men from the South, who, when they came to this country, brought with them a high standard of workmenship, and gradually conquered the heights of the trade, predominating as designers all over the United States.
But even as custom tailors, Italians are coming more and more to the fore. They are not merely setting the style for the masses, but they are deciding how the Amer- ican who sets the fashions in his own exclusive circle is to look. Is there a class of men that can boast to have more than these Italian tailors set a lasting mark on the American masses? At fifteen he joined his father Gaetano in New York and worked as an apprentice in the tailoring trade. He worked all day— a long, long day, and then attended evening school in order to perfect his English, in which he has been most successful, and at the same time took private lessons in designing men's clothes.
After learning drafting, he worked as custom cutter for about ten years, getting priceless training in the pre- paration of the highest grade clothes for men. In , he came to Chicago and entered the firm of Hart, Shaffner and Marx as designer. After three years he was appointed Head of their Designing Department. He applied himself to the task bettering the cut of the unexpensive garments, till he suc- ceeded in taking first rank among those who entirely transformed the appearance of the working classes, one of the greatest contributions to the leveling of class difference the world has known.
But even the designing of the highest grade was improved, till the wholesale manufacturer became a formidable rival to the custom tailor, who in turn had to excel to keep his trade. His ambition was to become a first class designer. He went to New York and studied designing with John Graziadei. He worked as a tailor during the day and thus earned funds for his personal expenses and the expenses incurred for his training as designer, devoting his evening to his studies.
He returned to Philadelphia and was employed as a cutter, then he want back to New York and worked for Graziadei as a cutter. Finally he was called to Chicago, by the Society Brand Clothes Company, an important firm, as asssitant designer to Mr. Pine, and upon the death of Mr. Pine, he was promoted to the position of chief designer. He too can claim to have done his share in raising the standard of the personal appearance of American men. The number of prominent Italians who hail from Rieigliano Jias always been a source of wonder to me, for Rieigliano is a small place, and its sons in Chicago seem many and distinguished.
Marzano was one of the oldest boys in the family, and while, he was attend- ing school, he sold papers and did every kind of errand that came his way. At eighteen he opened one of the first two dollar and half shoe stores in Chicago, but as he did not belong to the nationality who controlled the shoe market in Cjhicago, he had to give up his enterprise. At twenty one J. Marzano started in the undertaking business, at present, owns a large establishment at W. He was the first undertaker from Southern Italy in Chicago and the first Italian to introduce auto- mobile service at funerals.
At seventeen he belonged to the naval militia and then joined the second regiment of national guards.

He is very fond of paintings, has pei-fected himself in Italian with an Italian tutor, is fond of athletics, particularly swimming and golf, but best of all, he says, he is the father of seven children, three of whom are already graduates of universities.
He started as a call boy for a construction gang, working his way upward through the various stages of railroad engineering to his present high position in his chosen profession. As a youth he studied engineering and applied his theoretical work while in the employ of several of the large western railroads. In he was elected Sanitary Trustee, for the six-year term, on the regular Democratic ticket. After passing through the mill in the maintenance and operating departments of railroads, Mr.
Colianni formed the engineering firm of Colianni Brothers, with head- quarters at St. Paul and branches in Chicago and Milwaukee. This firm also supplied and handled all the materials for the mammoth Proviso, A few years ago Mr. Coliannl formed a third company, the Western Contracting Company, which specializes in the maintenance and operation of railroads.

He was practically the first to deal in bananas on a large scale initiating the shipment of green bananas and having them ripen in storage. He is among those who merit to be remembered, because they founded the now commercially very important fruit industry and transformed, for the better, the diet of even the staunchest Americans. The education of Thomas Garibaldi and his brothers and sister was planned by his mother, founder and life president of the most important Italian women's society, the Maria Adelaide.

His favorite pastimes are yachting and tennis. He was born at Venice in He completed the elementary and technical courses in the Venice Public Schools, and came to this country at 17, having already mastered the English language, to join his father. He was first in a law office in New York, then again in a law office in Buffalo, and while he did not become a lawyer, he found his training in law extremely valuable later in understanding the problems of his countrymen.
In he came to Chicago with his father and started his work with Sears Roebuck and Co. He has always been keenly interested in his countrymen, and has done his best to further the study of Italian and of music among them. He has been connected with the Hull House and the Chicago Commons. He is a man of varied interests, a lover of music, art and literature, he is also fond of travel.

She began to sing when she began to talk, trilling merrily when other children still ignore the existence of song. She was put in an English boarding school and when her parents took her out for the day, her desire was always to go back stage at Convent Garden and hear the opera sung. Her father discouraged her desire to become a singer herself. In fact, he had her voice tested by one of the most prominent singing teachers in London, Who said: Slhe will never have more voice than a kitten.
When her school course was completed, she was one summer the guest of a very distinguished Italian woman, who impressed with the earnestness of her desire to be- come a singer, had her sing for a blind old singing teacher, who in her time had trained some of the greatest operatic stars. This woman told Claudia Muzio that she needed practice, so that her voice might be strengthened, but that she placed her voice perfectly in a most natural way, and advised her to continue her studies by herself as she had done until then. Her father heard her, relented, and told her that he would give her a chance to make her debut in Massenet's ''Manon.
She was received at once with enthusiasm. Claudia Muzio also excelled in the harp, piano and especially in dramatic tecnique. She made her American debut at the Metropolitan in Joined the Chicago Civic Opera Company and has been with it ever since, except for one season, She has sung in most of the great opera houses of Europe and South America.
It is super- fluous to speak of the enormous success she had in her concerts. The charm which Madam Muzio has for the public in her magnificent stage setting is not diminished at all when she is met in the simplicity of her own environment. The career of a great artist involves continued application and hard work, but Claudia Muzio remains a humming bird, brilliant and fairylike in an invisible harness.
Virgilio Lazzari was born at Assisi, Italy, the home of St. When he was sixteen, he went to Rome to study music. After two years he joined a light opera company, continuing in this line for nine years and touring Europe and South and Central America. Light opera offered no worthy setting for so great an artist and, in , he made his first appearance in grande opera at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, without first obtaining the usually required approval of the Teatro La Scala in Milan.
Bass voices are rare and the beauty of Virgilio Lazzari's voice was appreciated by Mary Garden, who chose him to appear in the leading basso roles with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Virgilio Lazzari also excells in his concert work.
About the author
Virgilio Lazzari has never lost his love for his native country. He thrills to the charm of Assisi, as all who have an artist's should, and he has made for himself a large number of photographs and moving picture film portraying the natural and ar- tistic beauty of the birth place of the great Saint. Virgilio Lazzari has always been more than generous in lending his services for the benefit of his countrymen in Chicago when an appeal was made to him to sing at celebrations or benefits. He had the equivalent of a college course and then studied at the Institute Musicale of Lucca and at the Royal Conservatory of Music, of Florence, where he was a pupil of the famous Maestro Sbolci.
He took a most comprehensive general musical course and specialized in the violoncello. He came to America in , belonged to the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York, then to the Manhattan Opera House of that city, and has been manager of the orchestra of the Chicago Grand Opera Company since the formation of that company twenty two years ago. A magnificent career told in few words. During his career he has had occasion to meet the greatest composers and directors of orchestra, forming thus innumerable precious friendships.
But the friendships of Prof. Raffaelli are not limited to the great for his interest in and his good will toward his countrymen who seek his help and advice is unfailing. I have never met a more obliging man. Joseph Raffaelli has a high range of interest, his hobby is the study of history to which he devotes his leisure moments, and his favorite recreation is travel. He is correspondent of the University of Perugia. One of his ancesters was Doge in He completed the equivalent of a college course along classical lines, and his interest in classical study and philosophy has never ceased, indeed the study of the classics still is his hobby.
He had a good voice and studied voice culture at the Conversatoi-y Benedetto Mar- cello. For ten years, he sang as leading baritone in the principal cities Europe and in Egypt. He came to this country and is known by every one for the roles he has held with the Chicago Civic Opera Company and the Ravinia Opera Company. He entered upon his career in a moment when Italian high comic art was on the decline, and he made a supreme effort to specialize as a comic baritone, reaching the heights of art and preserving the dignity of the opera.
The beauty of comic high art is not often appreciated because many are incapable of understanding the refinement in art requisite to maintain a level worthy of a great artist. Vittorio Trevisan has practically imposed the appreciation of this high comic art on his public, rendering his roles unforgettable. Since he has devoted much of his time to the training of talented young singers and has prepared many excellent opera singers and teachers of voice culture.
Vittorio Trevisan could not excel as a comic baritone and as a teacher, if there wei'e not within him a deep feeling for the best in humane nature. Edward Chiera was born in Rome, Italy in His father was for many years a publisher in Rome and in he came to America with his family. Edward Chiera had already completed the equivalent of a college course in Italy, and, when he came to this country, he first took work in Crozen Theological Seminary and then in the University of Pennsylvania. He received the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in and Edward Chiera was one of a large family of children, his father was not a rich man and he had to secure his education by his own efforts.
He is a born scholar and he concentrated on the study of Assyriology, creating for himself a special field. His studies were published by the universities of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Harvard and Chicago. Though a scholar, Edward Chiera is an organizer and a man of action and the editing of the Babylonian Tablets scarcely gave an outlet to his energy, but fortunately, the monotony of mere office routine was broken up by several expeditions to Iraq where Edward Chiera organized excavations.
His efforts were crowned with unusual success, for, in the City of Nuzi, he discovered over a thousand very important documents. In , he was called by the University of Chicago, where he is Professor of Assyriology. He succeeded in arousing enough enthusiasm for Assyrian studies to be entrusted with conducting an excavation for the Oriental Institute in the City of Khorsabad, a modern village situated on the great city and palace of King Sargon II B.
As director of this expedition Edward Chiera was required to show not only exceptional scholarship, intelligence and energy, but also great diplomatic tact in his intercourse with the local authorities. Edward Chiera discovered much of interest and succeeded in bringing back to America many beautiful reliefs, but his greatest trophy was the so called Assyrian bull, a stone bull weighing forty tons, in perfect preservation and undoubtedly the largest monument ever carried across the ocean.
The bull is on exhibition at the Oriental Institute where thousands flock to see it. Edward Chiera is also publishing an Assyrian dictionary. He has found a very large number of small inscribed tablets that belong together and give a valuable insight into the family life of the old Assyrians. His contributions to Assyriology cannot be measured. Edward Chiera has many other interests too numerous to be catalogued. He told me of research work in psy- chology, of his enjoyment of nature and out of door life.
He frequented the public schools, graduating from the Lane Tecnical High School. He was a captain in the U. His favorite recreation is golf and bowling. He is greatly interested in art.
He attended public schools and during his attendance at the Medill High School he published a newsy, monthly magazine "The Little Chronicle of Chicago" that, when he resigned as editor, had a circulation of five thousand. He graduated from the Northwestern University Law School in He now specializes in federal practice. Was a candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court in , endorsed by all the news- papers of Chicago. Is married and resides at So. He studied at the Webster College of Law and received his degree in He was in the real estate and insurance business until when he was elected State Representative from the 29th Senatorial District, serving for ten years.
For eight years he was chairman of four important committees: He introduced legislation pertaining to Lincoln Park improvements, many of the Board of Education bills, the home rule bill for Chicago which was passed. He attended grade school in the City of New York, and when his parents migrated to Chicago, he attended the Hoffman Preparatory School of Chicago from which school he was graduated in the year He was admitted to the Bar of the State of Illinois the same year, while he was in the Military Service, at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, where he was serving as a member of "K" Company, th Regiment Infantry, in which outfit he served until In , after he was discharged from the Military Service, he engaged in the general practice of law, in which he has been engaged up to the date hereof.
His present office is at W. Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. The same year he was admitted to the Bar.
