- This video documents the close and enduring connections between the Sicilian village of Altavilla Milicia near Palermo and the city of Chicago. Among other things, it's a story of an ongoing chain migration that began in the late 19th century and continues in the 21st. It also shows how the traditions of the old world can flourish in the new. Among those featured in the video, a compilation of three stories that aired on Chicago's WMAQ-TV in November, 1978, are Joseph Camarda (proprietor of Joseph's Finest Meats (7101 W. Addison) and the late Anthony Scariano, long time Illinois State Representative and Judge of the Illinois Appellate Court.
Production credits: George Peebles (camera), Dick Smith (field tape and audio), Deb Segal (video editor). Written and narrated by Rich Samuels.
I was born in Altavilla Milicia and this video is well known among the citizens of Altavilla. I see some of my relatives in the video. Many people in this video are well known. Many more passed away. A moment in history. Hope that Altavillesi of future generations can appreciate this classic video of Chicago: WMAQ-TV, 1978.
My mom’s side of the family (Locashio) came to Chicago from Altavilla Milicia. On my bucket list to visit! What prompted WMAQ to produce this segment?
Hi, my mom was born in Altavilla Milicia! Maybe we can connect and exchange stories. I am looking to find where she lived though, hard to find. Can you help? How can we connect?
Do you know any Canale's? DeLuca's? I am trying to find family.
@@pattimari5036Hi, I just came back from Altavilla where my father grew up and it's possible he can help. What's the best way to get in touch?
Thank you. I plan to visit here next year as it is the birthplace of my maternal great-grandfather. I am also in the process of gaining Italian citizenship.
Thank you for posting this. My dad is Enzo, who is playing the drums in this video.
