The Story of London's First Pizzeria - Dec. 2015
-
Description
-
With much passion and a few good laughs, Vito Moretti tells the story of his immigration to Canada in 1951. The journey extracts him from all the familiarities of life in Italy but he soon finds himself an important part of the London community. Through an unlikely series of events surrounding the establishment of London's first pizzeria, the narrative weaves unexpectedly, finding both catastrophe and hero in the seemingly ordinary. Interestingly, Vito ultimately draws upon resources from both the University, the London community, and his hometown, Bari, to build his business from nothing. Ultimately, the viewer is left with an optimistic image of solidarity and togetherness across cultural backgrounds that allowed for a beautifully successful immigrant story.
