GA, what a great memory of your Italian parade experience in Clerkenwell with your old friend Colin O’Brien. Such a colorful event. What a cute pic of him in the 1946 parade.

We have a very similar tradition in Boston – many “feasts” of Italian saints are observed on summer weekends in the North End. Thousands attend to absorb the ambiance of street food, local bands, and religious fervor as statues are carried through the streets with dollar-laden streamers flying in the wind. The tradition continues although most the the Italian families have moved on because their former properties have been turned into gentrified high-end condos. What else is new?
