At the age of 23 I decided to leave my country because the work was scarce and the pay was always accounts. There was never a full pay and sometimes there was no pay because the furniture that we were making did not sell, so there was no pay at all. I left from Genova on the boat Saturnia on 9/1949 and arrived in N.Y. 3 weeks after with little money in my pocket and no knowledge of the language.
