Ray Guadagni, a Napa native and retired local judge, will lead a walking tour Saturday through Napa's very own Little Italy neighborhood. Participants will receive a map of Little Italy— several blocks from a small portion of Third and Fourth Streets to Silverado Trail — and hear about a number of businesses owned and operated by Napa's Italian-American community in the mid-20th century.

Residents of Little Italy formed a close-knit community, culturally similar to many immigrant populations. They were remembered as very self-sufficient; they grew much of their food and bartered with neighbors. The tour is from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 7. Check-in is at Veterans Park at the corner of Main and Second streets.
