LIZZADRO

Joseph Lizzadro arrived in the United States from his native Italy in the early 1900s. He traveled with his father, a shoemaker, who set up a cobbler's shop in Chicago, Illinois. Young Joseph worked in the cobbler shop and attended school. He learned English and became a U.S. citizen. His father soon brought the rest of his family to the United States...
