The two letters are transcribed in Italian in the book, while the story of Mario dell’Oglio is written in English. With the aim of publishing an Italian language edition as soon as possible. Orazio and Nicoleta knew the hardships of life in Bisgli and in Southern ItalyEither on a personal level or through their parents. They have already dealt with immigration in the past. Larry’s father, Francesco del Oglio, left Bisgli in 1912 to seek work in America. Francesco di Pettito, Nicoletta’s father, emigrated in 1938 from Bisgli to Rhodes, when the island was an Italian colony. The Mario del Olio story revolves around the messages between Larry and Tina and between Tina and her father. The author depicts Italy’s difficulties during Fascism, feeling its weight through the story of his mother who first lived through conditions of relative luxury as a child and then as an orphan forced to abandon his expectations of a comfortable life and his aspirations to attend higher education courses. Mario highlights in the book’s introduction: “Through letters to and from Italy, I tell the story of immigrants seeking a better life in the land of opportunity. An omnipresent search. Names and details change, but the dream remains the same. That is why taking the stories I heard Hundreds of times placing them in history has provided an insight into the severity of war and the horrors of fascism and Nazism. Italian economic crises At the beginning of the twentieth century, to understand how a brutal dictator could come to power and gain the approval of ordinary citizens. I learned more about my country, the United States, and the opportunities it offered to hungry immigrants, as well as the biases and pitfalls they encountered in pursuit of their dreams. Their history is steeped in the history of Italy and the United States. Through learning about my parents’ past, I learned what it meant to be a first-generation American.” Tina’s mother’s stories helped Mario Del Olio to remember what it was like and how people lived in Bisglei in the 20th century. The author also talks about the occupation of the Germans at the end of the twentieth century World War IIfrom Villa Ciardi in Bisceglie, where he was also a guest Benito Mussolini. It is the former palace located in the old city, where he stayed in the summer Lucrezia BorgiaDaughter of Pope Alexander VI. More: The story of Mario Dell’Oglio frames Bisgli’s life even before World War II, through his mother’s memories. He recalls the work of the fishermen, “the procession of brightly colored boats bound for the Adriatic to pick up some of his vineyard.” Again ‘Norman influence in the harbour’, where ‘the fishermen’s families had fair skin and green and blue eyes. The citizens of Bisgley were distinctly different from many other towns in the south.’ But the crisis during the outbreak was unsustainable. Immigrants were growing day by day, families torn apart, in search of a piece of bread, before happiness. Larry and Tina have also been able to find happiness and provide opportunities for their children, as evidenced by the career history of Mario Del Olio.
