Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A hundred years ago, in the legendary mining towns of Silverton and Durango, racial tensions among American immigrants had reached a fever pitch. Salone Italiano is a lavash account of one Italian family's struggles, passions, and adventures as outsiders in a strange new land. Based on actual letters written by members of the family. We experience Angelina Sartore's confused attempts to bring her family closer together. But Katie Sartore continues a forbidden romance with a member of a rival immigrant colony, and Phis Sartore continues a love affair with a well-known local prostitute. So, this is a family imbedded in constant turmoil. The story shows what life was like for European immigrants in a Colorado mining town. The reader will witness the lives of some of those who were most intimately involved.The Narrative Engine: The LettersThe most distinctive feature of the book is its reliance on a "miracle find"-over 150 original letters hidden in an attic in Rivarolo, Canavese, Italy. These letters provide a rare "double perspective." Most immigrant stories are told only from the perspective of those who left. This book includes the voices of those who went to America and those loved ones who stayed behind, desperate for news, money, and connection.The Geography of Struggle: From the Alps to the RockiesThe book tracks a specific migration path from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.The Mining Frontier: In Silverton, the family lived at an elevation of over 9,000 feet. The book describes the brutal winters, the constant threat of mining accidents, and the social hierarchy where "Northern Italians" often looked down upon "Tyrolean's."The Business of Vice: The Belleview Saloon in Silverton was a cornerstone of the narrative. Niemann describes the physical layout of the saloon, the gambling tables, and the "cribs" (small rooms for prostitution) that were legally part of the business.The Matriarchal Conflict: Angelina's BurdenWhile Louis Sartore was the business visionary, Angelina Giordano Sartore is the emotional heart of the book.Cultural Resistance: Angelina never fully accepted America. She viewed Silverton as "crude" and spent decades trying to replicate the class-conscious, structured society of Italy in the lawless West.Arranged Marriages: A major sub-plot involves Angelina's attempts to control her children's romantic lives. She famously opposed her daughter Katie's love for a Tyrolean man because he wasn't from their specific region of Italy. This internal family "war" reflects the broader immigrant struggle of maintaining tradition versus embracing American independence.The Dramatic Climax: The Death of Peter DallaThe book reaches a fever pitch with the story of Peter Dalla, a man loved by Katie but despised by her mother. His sudden and suspicious death, which many in the community believed was a murder, is a pivotal moment that explores the dark side of the immigrant feuds. Niemann uses court records and family whispers to reconstruct a tragedy.a murder that was never solved.Societal Shifts: Prohibition and the Great DepressionThe family's journey is a microcosm of American history: The Golden Era: The years of the saloon "boom" where money flowed freely.The Moral Shift: The rise of the Temperance Movement. When Colorado went "dry" in 1916 (four years before the rest of the nation), the family had to literally take down the "Salone Ital Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
