When Italians first came to America in the late 1800s, they faced poverty, discrimination, and brutal labor jobs. But in the middle of it all, one figure rose to legendary status: the Italian mom. 🍝💪 She kept families alive with meals stretched from scraps… ran corner shops and laundries to bring in money… and fought fiercely to protect her children from landlords, gangs, and poverty itself.
