Altavilla Milicia and Chicago: WMAQ-TV, 1978

This video documents the close and enduring connections between the Sicilian village of Altavilla Milicia near Palermo and the city of Chicago. Among other things, it's a story of an ongoing chain migration that began in the late 19th century and continues in the 21st. It also shows how the traditions of the old world can flourish in the new. Among those featured in the video, a compilation of three stories that aired on Chicago's WMAQ-TV in November, 1978, are Joseph Camarda (proprietor of Joseph's Finest Meats (7101 W. Addison) and the late Anthony Scariano, long time Illinois State Representative and Judge of the Illinois Appellate Court.
Production credits: George Peebles (camera), Dick Smith (field tape and audio), Deb Segal (video editor). Written and narrated by Rich Samuels.
