 My Great Uncle Giovanni, Limina, Sicily, 1996, is from An Italian Journey: Photographs by Liana Miuccio, which opens at the University Museum September 17. Thirty-three photos juxtapose images of the lifestyles of family members who remained in Italy with those of the family keeping its culture alive and vital in the U.S. The Roman-born, Manhattan-based photographer's paternal grandparents were among the four million Italians who entered the U.S. through Ellis Island-the largest number of immigrants from any one country.
