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. 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. 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. 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.

Title A name given to the resource March 1, 1947. Letter from Giuseppe Fruttauro to Giuseppina Vivo Subject The topic of the resource Italy -- Emigration and immigration -- History, Italian letters, Italians -- United States -- History -- 20th century Description An account of the resource He writes this letter to his mother in law. He excuses the late response, he just found out about his brother's terrible condition. He went to his house and he found him unconscious. After 36 hours, his brother's heart stopped beating in his hands. He washed him and dressed him as if he were heaing for a walk. He sacrificed himself so that the family could rest and he spent the following day planning for the funeral. Eugenio and Totore said he did everything he could till the end, everyone understood. Vincenzo continues answering her previous letter. He says he's not trying to hide the bad news about his son. Angiolino simply had an ulcer. But then it got worse. After the first shot he was fine; he may need more shots. Angiolino never mentioned to his family that he was sick. Giuseppe deduced it when he discovered his son's dirty underwear. He doesn't know if it was work related, related to the ulcer or an incorrect diagnosis from the doctor. Giuseppe encourages his mother-in-law not to worry. He asks her to send some cigarettes.

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. 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. 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.
