between 1890 and 1930, and the enduring culture these people imbued into northeastern Pennsylvania society. Older generations have always passed down values, beliefs and traditions to help younger generations identify with their name and heritage. Yet, many people still don’t know who they are. “Paesani: The Story of Italian Culture in Northeastern Pennsylvania” celebrates and preserves Italian heritage through a poignant blend of first-person storytelling, neverbefore-seen images and insightful humanist commentary. Major funding for “Paesani: The Story of Italian Culture in Northeastern Pennsylvania” was provided by UNICO National and Lackawanna Heritage Valley. JTHS Class of ’62
