It represents the hopes and dreams that led two families from Italy who separately packed their trunks and came to America about 80 years ago and settled in Albuquerque. NM. In 1905. my father. Cherubino Domenic. was 13 years old and living in the small town of Lucca. in the province of Tuscany. One day his uncle Lorenzo Gradi. who previously had emigrated to America and was running a general mercantile store in Albuquerque. arrived at the Domenici household to take my father and his older brother with him back to America. My father and his brother packed their trunks and left Lucca. With their uncle. the two brothers crossed the ocean and sailed through New York harbor. past the Statue of Liberty. to Ellis Island.
