In 1930, one out of every six Pittsburgh residents was an immigrant. More came from Italy than from any other country in the world. Drawn by chain migration and the prospect of work in coal mines, steel mills, railroads, and other local industries, Italian immigrants contributed greatly to the growth and development of western Pennsylvania and endowed the region with a rich and vibrant ethnic culture that has endured to the present day. In this unprecedented volume, nearly two hundred photographs collected from Italian American families still living in the Pittsburgh region illustrate aspects of the Italian immigrant experience in western Pennsylvania, including work, community, leisure, religion, and family life. Italians of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania tells the uplifting story of the work ethic that these pioneering immigrants brought to Pittsburgh and how they laid a solid foundation on which later generations could build and persevere.

Boundless Lives puts a human face on the courage, hope, and hard work of the region's Italian Americans. More than 100 immigrants and their descendants recall the years of separation, love of the strange new land, hard physical labor, and most of all, the bonds of family that have persisted for decades. Sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, the stories are ultimately inspiring. Color maps and organization profiles further explain the breadth and depth of Italian settlement in the region. Includes an introduction by Nicholas P. Ciotola, curator of the Italian American Collection at the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania.
