The story of the Sammarinese people in the United States is told here
for the first time. The idea for the book was initiated by Livio
Capicchioni. Joseph Putti guided the direction of the book from its
start. The base of the book are the numerous interviews that were
gathered over the years. The book concentrates on Metro Detroit, where
the largest number of Sammarinese immigrants are to be found but also
includes the story in neighboring Sandusky, Ohio. Metro New York is also
featured along with a number of stories from across the country.
