Giulia and Francesco Lombardi, hailing from the hills of Calabria, made the decision to leave their homeland in search of a brighter future in America. With little more than their dreams and a few belongings, they arrived in New York, wide-eyed and determined. Giulia found work in a bakery, while Francesco took on labor jobs. Together, they faced the struggles of a new country. Through hard work and perseverance, Giulia and Francesco laid the foundation for a hopeful future, instilling their values and dreams in the generations that followed.
