My Romance

This is Damiano Bivona’s autobiography. Written originally in Sicilian, and translated by his daughter-in-law, an absolutely extraordinary story ultimately unfolded. What wonders this poor, uneducated immigrant was able to accomplish in his sadly short life (he passed away in an accident when he was only fifty-one years old).

The life story that this beloved grandfather lived was truly unique, and profoundly exceptional. A window into history of both Italy and America, in this book lives on the spirit of ambition, hard work and family ties.
