It is worth noting that the largest banking establishment in the countryand of the worldthe Bank of America. was founded by Amadeo Giannini. and the largest foundry for casting fine art work was founded by Ricardo Bertelli. In the performing arts Americans of Italian ancestry have few serious rivals. while in the other fields of art. such as sculpture and painting. they are unsurpassed. Scientists of Italian origin are most prominent. and Enrico Fermi was one of the true pioneers in the development of atomic energy. The mere mentioning of these few names does not give an adequate idea of the immense contribution made to America by immigrants from Italy. but it should remind us of the debt we owe to these sons of Italy.
