An account of the resource
<span>“Quando un'anima nasce in questo paese le vengono gettate delle reti per impedire che fugga. Tu mi parli di religione, lingua e nazionalità: io cercherò di fuggire da quelle reti. “</span><br /><span>“When the soul is born… it has a slow and dark birth, more mysterious than the birth of the body. When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.”</span><br /><span>James Joyce’s words in “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” inspired the title of this exhibit for they encapsulate the character of Tom DiSalvo. The works in “Al di là delle reti / Beyond the nets” are a small representation of over 310 canvases painted throughout the artist’s career. Many of them measure 7X9 feet, a characteristic to keep in mind while appreciating the details in this virtual format. Several works interlace images and text and beg to be read aloud. Indulge them; and indulge yourself revisiting them for a unique encounter each time.</span><br /><span>Pre-Covid I looked forward to regularly engaging with the selection of canvases displayed at Florida Atlantic Univerity's Boca Raton Campus. They invariably triggered self-reflection. I am honored to share those and others, along with oral histories, commentaries, and personal artifacts that celebrate the passion and talent of Tom DiSalvo. I hope that your own journey through these works leads you on an alluring and unremitting path.<br /><br /></span><br /> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLIXSjEVNxI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Italians -- History -- 20th century
Description
An account of the resource
This collection presents visual resources related to the Zoppè family that is today divided between Italy and the United States. This research follows both branches of this family, and their exceptional transoceanic migration story. <br /><br />Luigi and Emma Zoppè had 17 children, only five of which survived: Alfonso (called Rodolfo) born in Anzio (Rome) in 1907; Antonio (called Guglielmo) born in Tivoli (Rome) in 1909; Zaira born in Genzano (Rome) in 1917; Alberto born in Vittorio Veneto (by Venice) in 1922 and Ruggera (Tosca) born in Pieve di Soligo in 1930. All different places, along the circus routes.<br /><br />Alberto Zoppè, his mother Emma Zoppè, his sister Ruggera Zoppè, his relative Francesco Rizzi with his mother Genzana Zoppè came to the United States in 1948. <br /><br />They were circus artists. Their trip was compensated with the gift of an elephant. Their success was marked by a movie who won five Oscar, Cecil B. DeMille’s <em>The Greatest Show on Earth</em> (1952).<br /><br />The other three brothers, Zaira, Guglielmo and Rodolfo, remained in Italy. When Zaira married Giuseppe Visentin, a shop owner, she settled in San Fior di Treviso and left the circus life. Guglielmo Zoppè and his wife Olimpia Alimenti continued the Circo Zoppè until 1953. In this period his daughters Dolores, Gabriella and Nadia, all worked in the circus. Dolores took care of Mary, the elephant. In 1953, Guglielmo turned to the luna park business and started to manage a bumper car ride. Rodolfo Zoppè, his wife Guerrina Verzegnacci, and his children Loris (a girl) and Luigi, continued to work with other circuses and took Mary with them for a while.<br /><br />The photos in this collection belong to the American and the Italian branch of the family.<br /><br />Today, as of 2022, Alberto's children keep the tradition alive: Giovanni is a proud clown and runs the Zoppè Italian Family Circus (the only circus that continued working during Covid as a drve-in). Tosca follows the steps of aunr Ruggera and is an equestrian artist. She runs the Piccolo Zoppè.<br /><br />Ilaria Serra's essay "Emigrazione e circo: la famiglia Zoppé tra Italia e Stati Uniti" in Viaggiare nel mondo diviso, a cura di Marco Severini (Ronzani, 2022) - written in Italian - is uploaded among the Collection Items.

The research was conducted by Ilaria Serra through Zoom interviews with <br />Alberto’s son, Giovanni Zoppé who was in Arizona at the time (February 9, 2021); <br />Alberto’s daughter Tosca Zoppé who was in Sarasota (March 13, 2021);<br />Alberto’s firstborn son Albertino (Tino) Wallenda who was in Sarasota (Dec. 28, 2021); <br />Ruggera’s children, Delilah, Gary and Mike Lauber from California (December 23, 2021); <br />and an in-person interview with Alberto’s nieces, Nadia and Gabriella Zoppè, Ferruccio Moretti (Nadia's husband), and Alberto's great-niece, Viviana Moretti, in San Fior di Treviso, Italy (July 6, 2021).

Alberto and Cucciolo in 1947
Subject
The topic of the resource
Alberto raises Cucciolo during a parade to attract audience to the circus in 1947.
Description
An account of the resource
Cucciolo is a relative, almost a brother for Alberto. He is a 3-feet tall, but extremely well-built and strong. His real name was Francesco Rizzi (Pasqualino in the Circus documents in 1951) , born in Isola Vicentina (Vicenza) in 1930. He is he adopted son of Genzana, Olimpia’s sister. Olimpia was Guglielmo Zoppe’s wife. His father, Antonio Rizzi, is buried in the family tomb in San Fior.
He is also called “bagonghi” in Italy, the name of the circus dwarves. Tino (Albertino Wallenda) remembers that he had a hoarse voice and a strong temperament, sociable but sometimes angry. He drove a pickup truck and smoked a cigar. “He got mad once when he discovered we had called our dog Cucciolo,” remembers Delilah.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection presents visual resources related to the Zoppè family that is today divided between Italy and the United States. This research follows both branches of this family, and their exceptional transoceanic migration story. <br /><br />Luigi and Emma Zoppè had 17 children, only five of which survived: Alfonso (called Rodolfo) born in Anzio (Rome) in 1907; Antonio (called Guglielmo) born in Tivoli (Rome) in 1909; Zaira born in Genzano (Rome) in 1917; Alberto born in Vittorio Veneto (by Venice) in 1922 and Ruggera (Tosca) born in Pieve di Soligo in 1930. All different places, along the circus routes.<br /><br />Alberto Zoppè, his mother Emma Zoppè, his sister Ruggera Zoppè, his relative Francesco Rizzi with his mother Genzana Zoppè came to the United States in 1948. <br /><br />They were circus artists. Their trip was compensated with the gift of an elephant. Their success was marked by a movie who won five Oscar, Cecil B. DeMille’s <em>The Greatest Show on Earth</em> (1952).<br /><br />The other three brothers, Zaira, Guglielmo and Rodolfo, remained in Italy. When Zaira married Giuseppe Visentin, a shop owner, she settled in San Fior di Treviso and left the circus life. Guglielmo Zoppè and his wife Olimpia Alimenti continued the Circo Zoppè until 1953. In this period his daughters Dolores, Gabriella and Nadia, all worked in the circus. Dolores took care of Mary, the elephant. In 1953, Guglielmo turned to the luna park business and started to manage a bumper car ride. Rodolfo Zoppè, his wife Guerrina Verzegnacci, and his children Loris (a girl) and Luigi, continued to work with other circuses and took Mary with them for a while.<br /><br />The photos in this collection belong to the American and the Italian branch of the family.<br /><br />Today, as of 2022, Alberto's children keep the tradition alive: Giovanni is a proud clown and runs the Zoppè Italian Family Circus (the only circus that continued working during Covid as a drve-in). Tosca follows the steps of aunr Ruggera and is an equestrian artist. She runs the Piccolo Zoppè.<br /><br />Ilaria Serra's essay "Emigrazione e circo: la famiglia Zoppé tra Italia e Stati Uniti" in Viaggiare nel mondo diviso, a cura di Marco Severini (Ronzani, 2022) - written in Italian - is uploaded among the Collection Items.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>“Quando un'anima nasce in questo paese le vengono gettate delle reti per impedire che fugga. Tu mi parli di religione, lingua e nazionalità: io cercherò di fuggire da quelle reti. “</span><br /><span>“When the soul is born… it has a slow and dark birth, more mysterious than the birth of the body. When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.”</span><br /><span>James Joyce’s words in “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” inspired the title of this exhibit for they encapsulate the character of Tom DiSalvo. The works in “Al di là delle reti / Beyond the nets” are a small representation of over 310 canvases painted throughout the artist’s career. Many of them measure 7X9 feet, a characteristic to keep in mind while appreciating the details in this virtual format. Several works interlace images and text and beg to be read aloud. Indulge them; and indulge yourself revisiting them for a unique encounter each time.</span><br /><span>Pre-Covid I looked forward to regularly engaging with the selection of canvases displayed at Florida Atlantic Univerity's Boca Raton Campus. They invariably triggered self-reflection. I am honored to share those and others, along with oral histories, commentaries, and personal artifacts that celebrate the passion and talent of Tom DiSalvo. I hope that your own journey through these works leads you on an alluring and unremitting path.<br /><br /></span><br /> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLIXSjEVNxI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

<h2><br /><br /><br /><br />Curbside History</h2>
<p>In July 2016, Lisa Giordano of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, arrived at the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute’s midtown Manhattan offices bearing a cache of letters written in Italian. On an early Saturday morning in March that same year, she had come upon the letters strewn on the sidewalk in front of a brownstone on Degraw Street, between Smith and Court Streets. Carroll Gardens was once a significant Italian American community that became gentrified over time, many houses being gutted for renovation by new owners.<br /><br />Giordano thought the Calandra Institute, a City of New York University research institute, might provide a haven for these discarded artifacts. We accepted her donation, even though the Institute is not an archive, with the hope to one day do justice to those epistolary correspondents.<br /><br />Toward that goal, the Institute partnered with graduate students Domenica Diraviam, Viviana Pezzullo, and Federico Tiberini at Florida Atlantic University to make the letters part of the Italian American Memories: Documentary Archive, an online digital collection of letters and ephemera from Italian American lives the three students had created. <br /><br />We are excited to announce the launch of the Vivo-Fruttauro Collection, which features transatlantic correspondence between members of the Vivo-Fruttauro families from Brooklyn, La Spezia, and Bagnoli. The letter writers covered a variety of topics, including pending emigration to the United States, among other quotidian matters.</p>
