In Cerca di Una Nuova Vita – From Italy to California – Italian Immigration 1850 to Today exhibition catalog. This documentary exhibit was created by the Museo Italo Americano in San Francisco and was displayed there in 2009 -2010 and is currently on exhibit again at the Museo. Filled with photographs, this catalog details the immigration of Italians to California beginning in 1850 in search of a better life and tells how Italians helped shape California in areas such as agriculture and winemaking (Gallo), banking (A.P. Giannini), music (opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini) and ends with many entrepreneurs who shaped Silicon Valley (Federico Rampini, Lorenzo Scarpone, Enzo Torresi, Federico Faggin). Italophiles and anyone interested in the history of California will find this catalog to be fascinating.
