Il Risorgimento Italiano nel Maryland was a weekly newspaper published in Baltimore. Its title refers to the movement that led to the unification of Italy as a sovereign nation in 1861. The newspaper served a growing Italian population in Baltimore, Maryland which initially was concentrated in the Little Italy neighborhood between the Inner Harbor and Fells Point. Politically active, Baltimore’s Italian community was led by the d’Alessandro family that produced two city mayors and two members of Congress, including Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Il Risorgimento Italiano nel Maryland was published by the Italian Revival Company, whose president was local businessperson Vincent Ambrose. The editor was Professor Camillo Baucia (1863-1943), an immigrant from Cuneo in the northwestern Piedmont region of Italy. Baucia was a professionally trained musician who gained a national reputation for his demonstrations of endurance on the piano. He reportedly could play the piano nonstop for 50 straight hours or more, and exhibited this talent via marathon performances at Baltimore’s Lyric Theater and in other parts of the country. The energetic Professor Baucia also threw himself into the social and cultural life of Baltimore’s Italian community. He organized events such as the Garibaldi Society picnic in 1922 and promoted the annual celebrations of Columbus Day. He was also president of the Baltimore chapter of the Dante National Association. Il Risorgimento Italiano nel Maryland…
