Story
In 1895, a 22-year-old Italian seamstress named Maria Barbella was accused of murdering her lover, Domenico Cataldo, after he seduced her and broke his promise to marry her. Following a sensational trial filled with inept lawyers, dishonest reporters and editors, and a crooked judge repaying political favors, the illiterate immigrant became the first woman sentenced to the newly invented electric chair at Sing Sing, where she was also the first female prisoner. Enter Cora Slocomb, who launched the first campaign against the death penalty to save Maria.

Story
Editors Note: Calogero Lombardo’s account of a Sicilian family migrating to Chicago in the 1950s is full of life. Thousands of people who experienced Little Sicily in that era will identify with the performance of family and ethnic identity in the neighborhood and the parish of St. Philip Benizi. Even while becoming “American,” the Lombardo family demonstrated a high degree of cultural retention. The Casa Italia Library is pleased to publish this narrative in our campaign to :”Save Our Stories.” -- Dominic Candeloro Making America is the second book in the five-volume series on ...

Story
Having gotten home from college a complete failure, I was looking forward to a Christmas tradition that my grandmother had started decades ago. Just to be told that her famous desert would not be making it to the table this year, all because of a wine shortage. I singlehandedly took it upon myself to get the wine that was needed, quickly finding out that I may have gotten in over my head. Discovering myself along the way, I'll always remember the Christmas that changed my life.
