Cleveland's Little Italy

Meer over het boek

Cleveland's Little Italy, established in the late 19th century, thrived through the contributions of Italian artisans, particularly those working in monument carving for Lake View Cemetery. The neighborhood was anchored by the Holy Rosary parish and community institutions like Alta House. Notable figures emerged from this area, including pasta machine inventor Angelo Vitantonio and influential political leaders. Following a post-WWII migration to suburbs, Little Italy has recently revitalized, blending its rich heritage with a lively arts scene and popular dining options.
