Scranton chapter of UNICO hosts First Friday exhibit centering on Italian experience in NEPA. They came from thousands of miles away, leaving behind their families to cross the sea with little in their pockets beside their hopes.
This Friday, the Scranton chapter of UNICO National will celebrate the sacrifices and successes of many of the area's Italian immigrants in an exhibit at Lackawanna College's Seeley Memorial Library, 406 N. Washington Ave., on display during Scranton's First Friday Art Walk.
