Conoscevi la storia di Catterina DeCarlo Davia?

Il 6 dicembre 1907, il disastro minerario di Monongah, West Virginia, causò la tragica morte di oltre 360 persone, tra cui 171 italiani. Tra le vittime c'era Vittorio Davia, il marito di Catterina DeCarlo Davia. Rimasta sola con cinque figli, Catterina dovette affrontare una lotta durissima per garantire un futuro ai suoi bambini.

Conosciuta come “Ciuccia Catterina” per la sua ossessione nel raccogliere carbone, Catterina affrontò discriminazioni e pregiudizi, ma non si arrese. Dopo un difficile ritorno in Italia, tornò a Monongah e, con il denaro rimasto, comprò una casa, coltivò ortaggi, e continuò a vendere carbone per sostenere i suoi figli.

Il suo coraggio e determinazione sono un faro di speranza e resilienza. Ricordiamo Catterina per il suo straordinario spirito e la sua lotta per un futuro migliore.

Our gathering served as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and the one of all Italian workers abroad.

Italian Labor Sacrifice Day Worldwide: August 7th & 8th

Today and tomorrow have been dedicated to remembering the sacrifices of Italian workers abroad, who left their home country to embark on perilous travels and faced rough living and working conditions to build a future for their loved ones. This dedication honors two tragedies.

The Monongah Disaster in West Virginia, which claimed over 360 miners’ lives, including 171 Italian migrants on the morning of December 6th, 1907. Beyond the lost lives, entire families were affected, with many women widowed and nearly 500 children left fatherless. The second tragedy honored is the Marcinelle Disaster of 1956 in Belgium, where 262 miners, including 136 Italians, tragically lost their lives.

On Italian Labor Sacrifice Day, we must also remember the 1909 Cherry, Illinois mining tragedy that killed 269 men, many from Bologna, Modena and Piemonte, Italy. This disaster resulted in America’s first worker compensation laws.

“Maintaining the memory and attention for the Monongah tragedy, on the occasion of the Day of the Sacrifice of Italian Labor in the World, is a duty for me and for all Italian emigrants who have contributed and contribute to the cultural and economic growth of the host country”, emphasized Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.

Today and tomorrow a series of events will take place in Monongah, West Virginia to honor and remember Italian Labor Sacrifice Day.
