SUMMARY:The Italian American Community Past\, Present\, and Future: A multigenerational panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:\n\nItalian immigrants began arriving in the United States in 
 large numbers between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Italian communities 
 took root in many neighborhoods in cities including Rochester\, NY. While 
 established families with Italian roots have flourished over many 
 generations\, new immigrants continue to join our community. Rochester is 
 home to a vibrant multicultural and multilingual Italian community proud of 
 its heritage. \n\nJoin panelists Carmelo Oliveri\, Jordyn Bagley\, and 
 Kathy Castania for a discussion of Italian American life in Rochester\, 
 moderated by RIT history professor Michael Brown. Panelists will share 
 personal experiences\, family stories\, and connections to their heritage 
 in a conversation reflecting on local history and memory. Also learn how 
 you can share your own story by participating in an oral history project 
 that archives local Italian American experiences.\n\n***\n\nJordyn Bagley 
 is an Italian American community member involved with Cugini di Roc and the 
 Frank DiMino Casa Italiana Oral History Project. \n\nMichael Brown is an 
 associate professor of history at Rochester Institute of Technology with 
 family from Sicily\, Campania\, and Calabria.\n\nKathy Castania is a 
 dedicated community activist and interculturalist with roots in the 
 Caltanissetta region of Sicily. She is a founding member of Cugini di Roc 
 and the Opening Doors Institute. \n\nCarmelo Oliveri is a proud American 
 born in Valguarnera Caropepe\, Sicily\, and is thankful for his parents\, 
 Maria and Cristofero Oliveri\, for immigrating to the US on Thanksgiving 
 Day in 1954.\n\n\n\n \n\nRegistration is recommended\, but not 
 required.\n\n\n\nPresented by the Central Library's Local History & 
 Genealogy Division in partnership with Cugini di Roc.
