It mentions Mulberry and Baxter streets, and among many other things, Calzini says: "Little Italy is the neighborhood of New York that Italians have occupied almost since ancient times: it is the nucleus of an invasion that spread to the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. It remains the headquarters, the center of our emigration."
