The First Columbus Day Arose From Bloodshed and Political Calculation ISDA StaffOctober 4, 2023
THIS INCIDENT WAS THE WORST MASS LYNCHING IN U.S. HISTORY!
War was on the table between the U.S. & Italy after 11 Italian immigrants were lynched in New Orleans in 1891.
The diplomatic crisis cooled thanks to the first Columbus Day, and what followed was a cultural celebration built on inclusion & assimilation.
The Columbus Circle statue was unveiled on Oct. 13, 1892, at the foot of Central Park in New York City. It was built to appease the Italian American community during a period of unflinching discrimination. NYC council members now want to tear it down.
On March 14, 1891, prominent New Orleans citizens — including future mayors and governors — led the largest lynch mob ever to assemble on U.S. soil.
Numbering in the tens of thousands and wielding torches, rifles and rope, the mob of vigilantes stormed into Parish Prison and murdered 11 Italian immigrants, all of whom had either just been acquitted or were falsely implicated in the 1890 murder of New Orleans Police Chief David Hennessy.
The lynching victims were identified as follows;
–Antonio Bagnetto, fruit peddler: tried and acquitted –James Caruso, stevedore: not tried –Loreto Comitis, tinsmith: not tried –Rocco Geraci, stevedore: not tried –Joseph Macheca, fruit importer and Democratic Party political boss: tried and acquitted –Antonio Marchesi, fruit peddler: tried and acquitted –Pietro Monasterio, cobbler: mistrial –Emmanuele Polizzi, street vendor: mistrial –Frank Romero, ward politician: not tried –Antonio Scaffidi, fruit peddler: mistrial –Charles Traina, rice plantation laborer: not tried
Mob conspirators claimed that mafia influence swayed jurors, despite no evidence; and according to History.com, the court proceedings surrounding Chief Hennessy’s murder marked the genesis of Italian American mafia tropes that persist today (from boorish Saturday Night Live sketches, to Hollywood’s repetitive stereotypes).

Italian Americans and leaders of the Kingdom of Italy were outraged by the mass lynching. Italy broke off diplomatic relations and recalled its ambassador from Washington, D.C. Then-President Benjamin Harrison, in turn, removed the U.S. legation from Rome. The lynchings even touched off talk of war between the U.S. and Italy, according to The Washington Post.
Prominent U.S. newspapers, including The New York Times, praised the lynchings. Theodore Roosevelt, in a letter to his sister, sided with the mob, writing: “Personally, I think it a rather good thing.”

During the 1980’s and 90's one of the most famous Italian chain of restaurants in Chicago was The Rosebud chain which started back in 1975. Originally located on Taylor St. and known as “Boccia della Rosa”, which means bud of the rose, the owner Alex Dana began serving few of the best Italian meals and their own signature dishes such as Chicken Vesuvio and Pappardelle which in fact means square noodles, and so their food became quite popular and attracted celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett or Robert DeNiro. During the early 1990’s, the owner decided to spread his business from Taylor St. to the Rush St. area, and in 2012 Dana stepped down as the general manager and owner of the Rosebud chain and was replaced by his son and a team of his best employees and three years later or in 2015 the successful businessman celebrated 40 years anniversary of his legit business.

Ever Wonder Who Brought Fireworks Shows to the United States?
Hint: You can thank the Italians!
The vibrant aerial displays that impress crowds today date all the way back to the 1830s, when Italians combined metals with explosives to develop colored fireworks.
Did you know Italy invented the first commercial microchip?
Federico Faggin designed the first commercial microprocessor - the Intel 4004. Faggin was born in Vicenza, Italy, and received his degree in physics from the University of Padua.
Innovation has been the hallmark of Italy since ancient times. From the Roman Empire when advancements such as the aqueduct revolutionized the world to the present-day masterminds behind its precision engineering, Italy is a world leader in innovation.
Generation after generation, Italian scientists have continued to build upon this legacy. Today, Italy continues to be at the forefront of innovation, with more than 105,000 high-tech companies. Federico Faggin’s invention of the first microprocessor is just one of the countless examples of Italian innovation. -- The National Italian-American Foundation (NIAF)

ORIGIN OF THE PIZZA MARGARITA The pizza is one of the most famous meals in the world and comes in many variations. The most famous pizza, the margarita, was named after Queen Margeritha of Italy, the wife of King Umberto I.
Pizza, an old meal The history of pizza is thousands of years old. Archaeologists have found traces of baking in central Italy that were probably the predecessor of today's pizza. From the pizza base to be exact. Such flat bread-like baked goods were not unique, by the way. Traces of similar baking have been found in many areas around the Mediterranean, and similar meals are still eaten in many places.
Meals that resemble the modern pizza, a flat bread-like baking topped with other foods, have been around throughout history. From Roman times to the Middle Ages. Historians therefore do not entirely agree on what the most direct 'predecessor' of the pizza is. For example, there is a theory that the pizza descends from the Jewish matzah, which was topped with cheese and olive oil by Roman soldiers. Another precursor could be the focaccia. They are still eaten in many places along the Mediterranean Sea and - just like the pizza - can also be found in our supermarkets.
A more direct predecessor is probably the galette as it was eaten in sixteenth-century Naples. Those flat breads were mainly eaten by the poor and were sometimes referred to as pizza. The most famous story about the origin of the pizza, however, is that of the pizza margeritha, the pizza that more or less symbolizes all modern pizzas.
Poor bread for the queen. Margeritha of Savoy was the only daughter of the Count of Genoa and his wife. She was born on November 20, 1851. Her grandfather was the King of Sardinia, which made Margeretha an attractive marriage partner. In 1868 she married the crown prince of Italy, Umberto.
In 1889 she left for Naples with her husband, because Rome was struck by a cholera plague. In Naples, they were advised to sample dishes by local master chef Raffaele Esposito. The royal couple summoned him to court, where he hurriedly baked them a pizza. Esposito mimicked the colors of the Italian flag with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to appease the couple. Margeritha was so delighted with the taste of the pizza that she wrote a personal letter of thanks to the chef. Esposito decided to name the pizza after her.
The Italian pizza bakers have used this story to also name their pizzas after princesses and queens. In 2012, Princess Beatrix - then Queen of the Netherlands - also had a pizza named after her.

Italy owns the world's third-largest gold reserve, and is the third-largest net contributor to the budget of the European Union. Furthermore, the advanced country private wealth is one of the largest in the world. In terms of private wealth, Italy ranks second, after Hong Kong, in private wealth to GDP ratio.

Furthermore, the advanced country private wealth is one of the largest in the world. In terms of private wealth, Italy ranks second, after Hong Kong, in private wealth to GDP ratio.
With an untold wealth of Italian inventions, nonetheless, the following 10 stand out for their global impact: * Battery (by Alessandro Volta) * Eyeglasses. * Bank (by the Medici family) * Barometer (by Evangelista Torricelli) * Thermometer (by Galileo Galilei) * Newspaper. * Piano (by Bartolomeo Cristofori) * Moka Pot (by Alfonso Bialetti)
The Bank of America, the largest bank in the country, was established by Amadeo Pietro “A.P.” Giannini in San Francisco. Born in San Jose, California, in 1870, Giannini was the son of Italian immigrants, Luigi and Virginia Giannini from Genoa, Italy. In 1904, Giannini founded the “Banca d’Italia” (Bank of Italy) in San Francisco, offering hardworking immigrants savings accounts and loans, when other banks would refuse, judging them not by their wealth, but by their character.
Also known as “America’s Banker,” Giannini would even keep his banks open until 9 or 10 at night for the workers.
When the 1906 San Francisco earthquake occurred, Giannini saw the need to assist and set up a temporary bank, collecting deposits and making loans, via horse and wagon. The wagon was disguised to protect against theft and Giannini made loans to those interested in rebuilding, with a handshake. Every loan Giannini gave out was paid back in full. In 1916, Giannini had opened several other locations of his bank, revolutionizing the idea of branch banking. Soon, Giannini had more than 500 branches throughout the state and in 1928, Bank of Italy merged with Bank of America, Los Angeles, and Bank of America was agreed to be the institution’s name, as it stood for the broader mission of the bank.
Giannini also financed the Golden Gate Bridge, and the fledgling film industry, including Cecil B. DeMille’s “Ten Commandments,” and Disney’s “Snow White,” as well as California’s aerospace and agricultural industry.

The Left Hates Christopher Columbus. Here are Five Reasons Why We Should Still Celebrate Columbus Day Zachary MettlerOct 14, 2019
Most of us can remember the day when Americans still seemed to like Christopher Columbus. Yet in the past few decades, something has changed. Certain states and localities have moved away from celebrating Christopher Columbus, and now celebrate Indigenous People’s Day.
According to a recent poll, 79% of college students support such a change. And the D.C. City Council recently approved a measure to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous People’s Day. Ironically, the District of Columbia is named after, you guessed it, Christopher Columbus. The Left’s hatred of Columbus is predicated on the idea that he represents the tyrannical, western force that colonized the Americas at the expense of those already living here.
But in reality, Christopher Columbus is an American hero, and he should remain as such. Here are five reasons we should still celebrate Columbus Day.
1. Columbus Personified the American Spirit Columbus was a brilliant man in his own right. The Encyclopedia Britannica describes him as a “master navigator and admiral.” He sailed to numerous places beginning his career as a merchant marine. He sailed to Iceland and Ireland in 1477, and to Madeira in 1478. “Between 1482 and 1485 Columbus traded along the Guinea and Gold coasts of tropical West Africa and made at least one voyage to Elmina, Ghana.” After all of this, he made four transatlantic voyages to the ‘new world’ beginning with his first famed voyage in 1492. Americans, for all our faults, love adventure. From early colonial exploration, to our push westward with manifest destiny, to our more modern quest to outer space and landing on the moon, Americans seem to have an innate desire to push the boundaries and discover new places. This began with the spirit of Christopher Columbus.
2. Columbus Undertook Adventure for God and Country After Columbus returned to Spain from his first voyage to the Americas in 1493, he wrote this in his letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella: “They manifest the greatest affection towards all of us, exchanging valuable things for trifles, content with the very least thing or nothing at all. . . . I gave them many beautiful and pleasing things, which I had brought with me, for no return whatever, in order to win their affection, and that they might become Christians and inclined to love our King and Queen and Princes and all the people of Spain.” Columbus usually treated the Native Americans kindly and brought them gifts in order to win their favor. He brought with him a letter from King Ferdinand to the Taino-Arawak Indians. The king wrote, “We in his name will receive you with love and charity, respecting your freedom and that of your wives and sons and your rights of possession and we shall not compel you to baptism unless you, informed of the truth, wish to convert to our holy Catholic faith.” Columbus’s drive for exploration was religious. Jarrett Stepman writes at The Daily Signal, “While Columbus, and certainly his Spanish benefactors, had an interest in the goods and gold he could return from what they thought would be Asia, the explorer’s primary motivation was religious.”
3. If Columbus is Off Limits to Celebrate, so are Indigenous Peoples The main reason some Leftists don’t want to celebrate Christopher Columbus is because his actions supposedly led to the genocide of Native American peoples. Yet, what is rarely discussed is the barbaric genocide perpetrated by Native American tribes from Mexico to Peru against other Native Americans before the arrival of Europeans. Jarrett Stepman also writes in his book The War on History, “What is never explained is why so-called indigenous peoples are worthy of celebration if Columbus is not. Pre-Columbian civilizations from Mexico to Peru were nearly all responsible for brutal violence on a large scale long before Columbus arrived on the shores of the New World – including human sacrifices, even of children, sometimes by tearing out the victim’s still-beating heart.” Even the Iroquoian peoples, located in present Northeast United States, often took slaves of other tribes. Yet, despite all the gruesome sacrifice and slavery, some still wish to celebrate Indigenous People’s Day. Not if we can’t celebrate Christopher Columbus.
4. Columbus Is Innocent of Most of the Charges Against Him Christopher Columbus was not perfect, but he is innocent of most of his alleged crimes. Indeed, “Columbus was mostly benign in his interaction with native populations. While deprivations did occur, Columbus was quick to punish those under his command who committed unjust acts against local populations… Columbus did not engage in the savage acts that have been pinned on him.” In addition, “Columbus strictly told the crew not to do things like maraud, or rape, and instead to treat the native people with respect. There are many examples in his writings where he gave instructions to this effect. Most of the time when injustices occurred, Columbus wasn’t even there. There were terrible diseases that got communicated to the natives, but he can’t be blamed for that.”
5. Historical Figures Should Be Viewed in Light of Their Greatest Achievements, Not Their Worst Mistakes Lastly, I would contend that historical figures should be honored by their great achievements, and not their mistakes or weaknesses. We should honor George Washington, the ‘Indispensable man’, for his military bravado and skilled leadership as our first president, even though he owned slaves. Likewise, Thomas Jefferson, also a slave owner, should be remembered for writing one of the most brilliant documents in the history of mankind, the Declaration of Independence, which contributed greatly to the ending of slavery and segregation in the United States. If we cannot honor anyone in human history that did not have flaws or imperfections, we cannot honor anyone at all. Though flawed, Columbus was a great man with an adventurous spirit, sailing the seas to prepare to establish a ‘new world.’ In short, today is Christopher Columbus Day, and we should all celebrate that.
Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci was born in Florence in 1808. By the age of 13 he was the youngest student at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts to take up mechanical and chemical engineering. When he started a part-time job as a stage technician at the Teatro della Pergola, Meucci designed an acoustic telephone to be able to communicate between the control room and the stage.
By 1835, Meucci immigrated to the Americas, stopping first in Cuba, then a Spanish province. In Havana, he constructed a system for water purification and reconstructed the Gran Teatro. In 1850, he finally arrived in Staten Island where he would live for the rest of life.
Just four years later, he invented the telephone apparatus, communicating between the different floors of his apartment building.
Although Alexander Graham Bell was first credited as the inventor of the telephone, in 2002, Resolution 269 by the United States Congress officially recognized Meucci as the "first inventor" of the telephone.
Leonardo da Vinci ( Anchiano ( Vinci ), April 15 , 1452 – Amboise , May 2, 1519 ) was an architect , inventor , engineer , philosopher , physicist , chemist , anatomist , sculptor , writer and painter from the Florentine Republic , during the Italian Renaissance . He is seen as the textbook example of the Renaissance ideal of homo universalis and as a genius .

Italian Americans have founded successful companies, including Bank of America (originally the Bank of Italy), started by Amadeo Giannini, and Chrysler Corporation, founded by Walter Chrysler who was of Italian and German descent.
Italian American architects, such as Pietro Belluschi and artists like Constantino Brumidi (who painted the U.S. Capitol dome), have left their mark on American art and architecture.

Here's two more interesting Italian figures from Italy's rich history... - The renowned Italian poet Dante Alighieri's died in 1321.
Often revered as the Father of the Italian Language, Dante Alighieri is celebrated for his monumental work, "The Divine Comedy." Did you know you can visit Dante's final resting place ? Located amongst the enchanting streets of Ravenna, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, visitors can find the tomb of Dante. After his exile from Florence in the 14th Century, Dante found refuge in Ravenna. Not only is Ravenna his final resting place, but it is also the location where Dante completed "The Divine Comedy". Have you ever visited Ravenna and seen the tomb of Dante? -
Have you ever visited the statue of David at the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze?
On September 13th 1501, the famous Tuscan artist Michelangelo Buonarroti began work on his statue of David. Michelangelo was just 26 years old at the time, and sculpted the David out of a single block of marble from the quarries in Carrara in Tuscany. The statue took Michelangelo almost four years, and was completely in June of 1504.
How many Italian/Americans can actually speak Italian?
Here is a quote of Alessandro Bianchi
Listening to the trials broadcast on television and the wiretaps, I have never heard even an Italian mobster, who was born and raised in Italy, speak Italian. They always speak in their local dialects. Imagine if the Italian-American mobsters can speak standard Italian correctly! They probably grew up knowing a few words of their dialect drenched in American English.

We honor the life of Bobby Darin for Italian Heritage Month. Darin was born Walden Robert Cassotto in the East Harlem section of Manhattan in 1936. Like Al Pacino, his family moved to the South Bronx when he was a toddler. Darin knew his time on earth was limited due to being born with a heart condition, which is why he crammed everything he had in life. His mother, Nina Cassotto, was the daughter of an Italian father and English mother. Nina had Bobby out of wedlock and never told him who his real father was while he was alive. But facts eventually proved that she had a relationship with a mafioso named Tony Grillo before he was born, and that the man was his biological padre. Knowing his time was limited, young Bobby decided to drop out of college to pursue a music career. He wrote songs for pop singers in 1955 and 1956. One of those singers was Connie Francis, who hooked him up with the right people to help launch his professional singing career, instead of being known as only a songwriter with an occasional singing gig at a bar, coffee place or restaurant. In 1958, he signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. He started out singing rockabilly songs, as he honored the rockabilly icons Elvis, Buddy Holly and Carl Perkins. Rockabilly is a mixture of country and rhythm and blues, that helped set modern rock and roll in motion. After signing the contract, he wrote “Splish Splash," which became his first hit song. His next hit that year was with "Queen of the Hop." In 1959, he had another big hit with "Dream Lover." Later that year, he left Atlantic and signed a contract with Capital Records. While changing labels, he also changed the style of music he was doing, and started to be noticed as a crooner with great songs like “Mack the Knife” and “Beyond the Sea.” But he began recording some folk songs that his fans felt wasn't really for him in the late 1960s. Sadly, the life of this talented singer was cut short due to his heart issues, and he died after an unsuccessful surgery in 1973. He was only 37. And yet, during his life he had major accomplishments. He had eleven top 10 singles, had his own TV show, acted in a few films, was hugely popular as a headliner in Las Vegas, and was responsible for discovering the crooner Wayne Newton. -
One of the most well-known residents of Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, is the notorious Chicago mobster Al Capone. While the cemetery is mostly populated with dead gangsters, there is another significant figure buried at the cemetery who did not become famous for organized crime.
That individual is none other than Julia Buccola Petta, otherwise known as the “Italian bride.” Her resting place is easy to find as it’s marked by a detailed life-sized statue built in her likeness. The statue is of Julia wearing a wedding dress, resembling the photo attached to her gravestone depicting her on her wedding day.
Boston's Famous "Little Italy" Neighborhood - "The North End"
An interesting bit of trivia...
Boston’s North End has remained a lively district for decades — especially with the car and foot traffic that seems to only rise in extremity as time passes. But at the crossroads between international culture and American history, this eclectic neighborhood provides visitors with a more immersive experience. And it starts with love at first bite: the cannoli.
This fried, tube-shaped pastry is filled with ricotta for a sweet ending to a traditional Italian dinner. However, situated under this innocent dessert is some friendly competition. Now here’s the famous question: Which bakery do I choose? Mike’s, Modern, or Bova’s? This cannoli dilemma has been heated since the 1950s and social media has launched this conundrum from local fame to national frenzy and I’m here to review each of my experiences.
Another wonderful song, was the children's Christmastime classic, "Dominick the Donkey" ("Domenico l'Scecco" or "Dominick the Jackass" in Sicilian) made famous by singer Lou Monte. Here are the lyrics and song..
