The Paths of the Trade:
Italian Stonemasons in the United States
This article examines the history of Italian stonecutters from Valle del Cervo, an alpine village in Piedmont, Italy. These migrants comprised a wave of temporary emigration to the United States between 1870 and 1915. The migration paths followed by these artisans demonstrate the close connection among their various migrations, settlements, and opportunities for employment in the eastern United States. The reconstruction of the histories of individual emigrants, utilizing Italian and American sources, census records, trade-union press and private documents, provides some insight into the experiences of these stonecutters and their social networks.
Scuole Tecniche Professionali
di Campiglia Cervo
In 1861 some visionary residents of Campiglia Cervo laid the foundations for the creation of a school that provided technical-practical teaching in the field of building and civil construction. This school was aimed at those young people who, in the months of forced suspension of work in the elements due to the climate, wanted to undertake a change of activity: from stonemason and bricklayer to construction assistant and site manager and perhaps even entrepreneur.
