Private Showing of America's Little Italy: The Hill
Join us to watch a private showing of the award-winning documentary that explores the roots of the Hill neighborhood in St. Louis, MO. The film chronicles the Italians and Sicilians immigrating in search of the American Dream and building a “Little Italy” that continues to flourish today. It is a fascinating exploration of this unique neighborhood and a “must-see” for Springfield’s Italian American community.
