what did the Statue of liberty meant to the Italians?

Answer 1

For the millions of immigrants entering the U.S. via Ellis Island, their first sight of America, and all that it promised, was "Liberty." Standing 305 feet high at the mouth of the harbor, she could be seen for miles. For ocean-weary travelers, and especially those in steerage, "Liberty" meant a long-awaited end to a difficult and sometimes dangerous crossing. For millions of immigrants, the sight of "Liberty" meant a new land, a new home, a new opportunity. "For such people," wrote Oscar Handlin, 'Liberty' was not an abstraction, it was the life-giving shelter that gave them air to breathe."
