For Italian immigrants and their descendants; moving from "the city" out to Long Island was more than a change of address. It signaled that the family had achieved the American dream; and in turn; elements of Italian values and culture are visible all over the island. Italians helped to build Long Island; whether as laborers or as contractors; such as the Castagnas. They brought their culinary traditions and opened markets; such as the still family-owned Iavarone Brothers Foods and restaurants; including New Hyde Park's Umberto's. Italians' industrialism helped them thrive in fields as diverse as medicine; politics; acting and winemaking and importing (including the nationally recognized Banfi label). Join author Salvatore J. LaGumina to discover the remarkable contributions and vibrant culture of Italians and Italian-Americans on Long Island.
