Monument Memories:
Your Ancestors’ Journey
What are Your Italian Ancestors’
New Haven Immigration Stories?
The beautifully rendered images of the new Wooster Square Monument, Indicando la via al Futuro, tells a story of an Italian immigrant family about to embark on a new life in a new country. Yet, it is only part of the story. We are asking for your assistance in our quest to tell a more complete story about the Italian American immigrant experience in New Haven and Wooster Square.
We plan to create a compilation of memories that captures the stories of those who were strong enough and determined enough to follow their dream. Please share your contact information and your ancestors’ experiences in response to the questions below. This Guide will assist you in selecting stories that will become part of our Wooster Square Monument history.
