The Edith Wheeler Memorial Library will host a free talk by Anthony Riccio, author of Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut, on Saturday, March 14, from 1 to 2 p.m., in the library’s Ehlers Meeting Room.
Riccio’s presentation will focus on the roles of Italian-American women who, after immigrating from southern Italy to Connecticut, toiled on tobacco farms, in the sweatshops of New Haven, on the production lines of U.S. Rubber in Naugatuck.
