Italians in the Santa Clara Valley (CA) (Images of America)
Author Frederick W. Marrazzo interviewed over 50 people about growing up as part of the Santa Clara Valley's Italian community. Inspired by a series of interviews Marrazzo did for his public access television program, Cronaca, which means "story" in Italian, he has here gathered the memorable tales of a forgotten generation, whose values and principles are more relevant than ever. Through this unique collection of photographs, Marrazzo illustrates how a very diverse Italian population made the Valley of Heart's Delight the community that it was and has become.
