Among Us: Italian
American Identity and World War II

Italians. As a result, a story behind the story
unfolds.
Tony Lo Bianco, spokesperson for OSIA, narrates this feature length documentary
with commentary by Tom Brokaw of NBC News and Mary Ann Esposito, host of "Ciao
Italia."

DVD: Watch the Pallino
Around the turn of the century, some 15 million immigrants were drawn to the U.S. for jobs and a new life. In Toluca, Illinois, people from across Europe worked shoulder to shoulder in the coalmines, but it was the Italians who left their mark. Today, Toluca boasts of a thriving ravioli factory, regionally known Italian restaurants, and most of all bocce. Each year on Labor Day, the town hosts the largest bocce tournament of its kind in the country. Follow Father Neri, a bocce playing priest, the jocular Shirley and state champs Theresa and Nancy Biagini in their quest to make the final round. Who will triumph? You'll have to Watch the Pallino!
