CT State Library Third Thursday Program“Ciao, Connecticut! Exploring Connecticut’s Italian Newspapers”

Join the Connecticut Digital Newspaper Project on May 20, 2021, at 12:00 P.M., to celebrate the launch of three of Connecticut’s Italian language newspapers, now available online in the Library of Congress’ Chronicling America database of historic newspapers. During this Zoom presentation, we’ll share highlights from the pages of these newspapers, including coverage of Italian festivals and celebrations, life during the World Wars for Italian Americans, and Italian perspectives on Prohibition, the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, and the rise of Mussolini. We’ll also demonstrate how to find and use the newspapers in Chronicling America.
