Attracted by the mild climate and abundance of fertile land, Italians came to the Santa Clara Valley from all regions of Italy, including Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, Tuscany, and Piedmont. Beginning in the 1880s, the "Eden of the World" beckoned Italian immigrants as farmers, ranchers, orchardists, vegetable growers, and winemakers. Italian men, women, and children filled the numerous canneries and packinghouses supplying the rest of the nation with fresh produce. Once the largest ethnic group in the valley, Italians' impact on the region has been profound, yet is often overlooked. The photographs in this book present a special glimpse into the lives of a people whose irrepressible optimism, kindness, and can-do spirit overcame the challenges and obstacles put before them.
Da Sesto San Giovanni a Palo Alto per sei mesi, in aspettativa dalla redazione e con famiglia, facendo tutto da solo, senza sapere che cosa ne uscirà. La scoperta – fra storie, incontri e interviste – di un filo «out of the box» che collega lo spirito d’impresa di esploratori del Westal talento di leggendari innovatori, ricercatori e giovani startupper di successo, nella culla mondiale dell’innovazione. Un filo che oltre oceano riporta a maestri da riscoprire, come Olivetti e Montessori. Poi il ritorno in Italia e la rinuncia al posto fisso per un giornalismo diverso: racconti sul web e i social media, storytelling multimediali in giro per le città e all’estero. Con la convinzione che Silicon Valley aiuti a capire le straordinarie potenzialità nascoste ma anche le enormi barriere da abbattere nel nostro Paese. E che storie come quelle raccolte in questo libro siano davvero capaci di far volare le idee e possano ispirare quella rivoluzione culturale di cui abbiamo un grande bisogno.
