In ""Cent' Anni: 100 Years,"" ten short sketches present three generations of an immigrant Italian family from Bari as they lurch through dooms of love to an American identity. Separating these related vignettes are Interludes, one-page snapshots of their lives in New York City and Long Island. In Italy, Northerners considered the peoples south of Rome to be barbarians: ""Hide the silver,"" the adage goes, ""They're from Bari."" Even greater hostility awaited these impoverished Southern Italians in New York. To deal with it, they insulated themselves within the magic circle of their immediate family adopting a cunning silence to keep all others at bay. Despite high principles of sacrifice and care giving, some could neither forego ""easy money"" nor the privileges and power such money procured. Beginning with the death of Mamma in 1929, some of the stories are comic, some sad, some both, all originating from the struggle ""to breathe free"" in a new land.

Unforgettable characters and street tough stories laced with interludes of one page stories. 100 years of stories of a family coming from Bari, Italia to New York, and how they survived the streets. Fortuna's writing is lucid and packed with insight. My favorite gift in this book is this line: "When she walked past his shop, he would call out humorously, "Amaru cane!" - a pun that sounded like "American" but meant "bitter dog!"so much wisdom, true Italian American life, street smarts here.forever,AnnieAnnie Lanzillottoauthor of "L is for Lion: an italian bronx butch freedom memoir" SUNY Pressand "Schistsong" BORDIGHERA Presswww.annielanzillotto.comL Is for Lion: An Italian Bronx Butch Freedom Memoir (SUNY series in Italian/American Culture)Schistsong (Via Folios)Blue PillCarry My Coffee (Live)Eleven Recitations
