Separating These Related Vignettes Are Interludes One-Page Snapshots Of Their Lives In New York City And Long Island. In Italy Northerners Considered The Peoples South Of Rome To Be Barbarians: Hide The Silver The Adage Goes They'Re From Bari. Even Greater Hostility Awaited These Impoverished Southern Italians In New York. To Deal With It They Insulated Themselves Within The Magic Circle Of Their Immediate Family Adopting A Cunning Silence To Keep All Others At Bay. Despite High Principles Of Sacrifice And Care Giving Some Could Neither Forego Easy Money Nor The Privileges And Power Such Money Procured.
