Domenico'S New Year. Il Capodanno di Domenico. A Young Man From Tropea - un Giovane di Tropea

Domenico, the main character of this story, emigrated from Tropea (Calabria) to the U.S., when he was just 18. Thanks to his generosity, honesty and a deep sense of friendship, he brought honour to himself and his region and showed that the Calabrese are good-natured people. Nick Ceramella, a seasoned scholar of American and Italian-American literature, provides a thorough background to the author's life and writings that helps to set this story in its historical and cultural contexts in a way that makes it valuable reading for students, scholars and everyone interested in the Italian immigrant experience.
