The Italian
In 1915 the wave of poor Italian immigrants was reaching its height, as was racial and ethnic bigotry. In The Italian, which was placed on the Library of Congress National Registry of landmark films, we see incidents from the life of one of the immigrants, a Venetian gondolier. As always, Dr. Carli’s introduction illuminates its place in silent film history, and his expertly improvised piano accompaniment to the film brings it to new life.
