The years 1910 to 1920 were the high point of Italian immigration to the United States. Over 2 million Italians immigrated in those years, with a total of 5.3 million immigrating between 1820 and 1980. About a third of them returned to Italy, after working an average of 5 years in the US. Now California has over 1,533,599 Italian Americans. The Fazzio Family rooted themselves deep into the California landscape by building a shoe store in San Francisco on Maiden Lane.
