Answer 1

Roman Catholicism is by far the largest religion in the country. Although the Catholic Church has been separated from the state, it still plays a role in the nation's political affairs partly due to Holy See's location in Rome. Some 87.8%[5] of Italians are Roman Catholic of which one-third are active members (36.8%).

Most immigration from Italy occurred between 1880 and 1920. Most Italian Americans came from Southern Italy and Sicily as rural peasants. Italians lived in cities, mill towns and mining camps all over the Northeast, with New York City the favorite destination. A small proportion became garden farmers. They dominated specific neighborhoods (often called "Little Italy") where they could interact and find favorite foods. The immigrants arrived with very little cash or human capital; their manual labor was in demand. These neighborhoods were typically slums with overcrowded tenements and poor sanitation. Tuberculosis was rampant. In the 1890-1920 period Italian Americans were often stereotyped as being "violent" and "controlled by the Mafia".[1] In the 1920s, many Americans used the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, in which two Italian anarchistes were sentenced to death even if they were (most probably) not guilty, to denounce Italian immigrants as anarchists and criminals. In 1891, eleven Italian immigrants in New Orleans were lynched due to their ethnicity and the suspicion of Italians being involved in the Mafia. This was the largest mass lynching in US history

Answer 2

The Roman Cathlic religion is the most common in Italy since the early 1600.
Thats why the Cathlics have their Dome and the Popes Palace there. Italians are also known for making Wine, Bread and Pizza.

Answer 3

In 1900 grape growing and wine making was a large industry, as well as olives.
A large bunch of grapes cost 1cent. In the 1920s, the grapes in Italy were destroyed by disease which had come from France.
ALL the grapes in Italy, today, came from vines exported from California at that time.
They also made leather goods, and wood products.
Unemployment was rampant and those who worked earned very low wages.
The immigration from Italy to the US was at it's peak. In one day, the NY harbor had ships with 1,000,000 immigrants from Italy. Of course, it took days and days to process them at Ellis Island. They had to remain on board until processed. This, I had read in a history of the 1900s. I've forgotten the book.

My father arrived from Italy in 1903, @15, after 30 days at sea. The ships were all loaded with passengers. His father was already here to meet him.
Catholicism is still the prevalent religion, but like most countries, there are many others as a result of immigration.
