- Abstract
- Oral history interview with Robin Tagliaferri about the Mashapaug Pond
community, Providence, R.I. Tagliaferri describes her family history, focusing on her
grandparents, who emigrated to the U.S. from Italy in the early 20th century. Her
grandfather worked in the bronze foundry of Gorham Co. for 41 years, and Tagliaferri talks
about what she has discovered about him in the John Hay Library's Gorham archive, and other
sources. She also reminisces in detail about immigrant Italian daily life in the Silver Lake
section of Providence.
