Preserving Our History

PRESERVING OUR HISTORY takes a serious look into the history of
the immigrants from the town of Calitri, Italy. These immigrants brought
with them a strong sense of community and kinship. This helped ease
their transition into America as they spread out to various locations and
maintained their ties to fellow Calitrani as well as to their common values
of family, faith, courage and mutual support. While gradually assimilating
into their new environs, newcomers left paper trails of documents
and information, some fortunately still treasured and preserved by
descendents, many others stored in various archival institutes waiting to
be discovered and added to known facts.
