At the height of migration from Italy, children were recruited under the Padroni system and brought to North America to work as shoe shiners, musicians, and even acrobats. Featuring full-colour artwork and eyewitness accounts, this book gives an account of how Italians first came to North America and how their traditions are still celebrated.
