ITALIAN COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND THE PATRIA E LAVORO SOCIETY OF BEVERLY

Of the ethnic groups that immigrated to Beverly at the turn of the century, the Italian-Americans were the largest in number. This period saw the formation of several Italian community organizations. A major purpose of organizations such as the Patria E Lavoro Society was to help aid arriving immigrants in their struggle to become Americans. Who were the Italian Americans who founded these groups?
