Today. I rise to honor the Marzullo family and. in particular. the late Giuseppe and Agata Rosilia MercuglianoMarzullo. Immigrating to New York City in 1904 from Naples. Italy. Giuseppe and Agata Marzullo truly believed in the promise of America. Giuseppe. a pastry maker. worked for 2 years at $2 per week in Italian bakeries. including New Yorkss stillfamous Ferraras Italian Bakery. before he moved to New Haven in 1906 and started his own pastry business in a garage in the Wooster Street neighborhood. Baking his pastries in the garage oven and selling them door to door and on Wooster Street corners. the Marzullos saved enough money to move into larger commercial quarters and finally realized the dream of buying a building to house their business.
