The little known histories of immigrant Italians in Gloucester (MA) during the World War II era will be the focus of a special presentation by Maria “Mia” Millefoglie and Laura Ventimiglia. The talk, which includes viewing a clip from a documentary in the making, will be held Thursday, April 30, at 1 p.m. at the Rose Baker Center for Living Well in Gloucester.
While the talk is free, registration is requested by signing up at the center’s front desk or calling 978-325-5812. Millefoglie and Ventimiglia will talk about the project “Branded,” a public history initiative exploring the experiences of Sicilian and Italian immigrants in Gloucester who were classified as “enemy aliens” during World War II.
