    Most of this generation of Italian immigrants took their first steps on U.S. soil in a place that has now become a legend—Ellis Island. In the 1880s, they numbered 300,000; in the 1890s, 600,000; in the decade after that, more than two million. By 1920, when immigration began to taper off, more than 4 million Italians had come to the United States, and represented more than 10 percent of the nation’s foreign-born population. OUR GOAL IS TO CONNECT NEW GENERATIONS OF SOUTHERN ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS WITH THEIR ROOTS AND ORIGINS
