Comunanzesi, a Population of Unexpected Emigrants

The English translation of a chapter of the larger work The way home. A historical reconstruction, accompanied by photos and documents of the time, which will lead you to the Comunanza of 1903, the year in which emigration to the United States had a great increase. You will be close to the main families and you will relive the emotions that accompanied our young people on the long journey to reach a small village called Latrobe, near Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. You will discover how migratory flows, directed by some "commuters on the ocean", changed their destination when the Pittsburgh metal industry went into crisis heading towards Illinois, in particular towards Melrose Park, a town in the urban area of Chicago.
