This resource contains information on approximately
413,000 individuals who immigrated to the United States from Italy between 1880
and 1893. Originally published as a series of book volumes, Italians to America
was the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United
States.
The information was compiled from the original ship manifest schedules
filed by all vessels entering United States ports in accordance with the
act of Congress of 1819. Although Italians departed almost entirely from
ports in their home country, Italians to America includes Italian departures
from all foreign ports. In addition, almost all of the immigrants listed
arrived in New York City
