Description

Before out of doors films, mouth watering cuisine and the spectacle of bocce brought thousands of tourists to its streets, Baltimore’s Little Italy used to be a haven for generations of immigrants. With Saint Leo’s Church at its heart, The Neighborhood is a spot where lifelong friendships are forged and nicknames are serious business. The community still celebrates the Feast of Saint Anthony Italian Festival in tribute to the saint who used to be credited with saving the neighborhood from the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. As sons went to the front throughout both world wars, families pulled in combination throughout the hard times. With reminiscences of beloved native figures like Marion “Mugs” Mugavero and artist Tony DeSales, interviews with lifelong locals and a couple of classic recipes, creator Suzanna Rosa Molino creates a spirited history of this enduring Italian community.
