“Rosa, the life of an italian immigrant.“
Rosa’s story symbolizes the countless untold stories of women who have been forgotten by history – often because of illiteracy, language barriers, shame, or simply because they were women. It is the story of many Italian-American descendants today who can now connect with their roots and identity through this narrative.
What follows is the story of Rosa’s journey – from Cuggiono to the United States – and the book that waited over thirty years to bring her story back home.
