nutschiii‘s Travels – America – USA – New York – Little Italy

in deutsch •  7 years ago 

Hallo :)

Little Italy in New York has its center in Mullberry Street and the 17 blocks around. In the 19th century, about 40.000 people from Southern Italy were living there and the standard of living was very low. The lower floors didn‘t even get light as the streets were so narrow. Other problems, besides the living situation, were tuberculosis, criminality and the mafia Cosa Nostra.

As the population became richer in the 20th century, they moved to other parts of the city and the inhabitants of Little Italy were reduced to only 5 % Italians, living in the district. Chinese people from Chinatown nearby are taking over more and more parts of Little Italy. Today, there are only two streets left, Mullberry Street and Grand Street, belonging to Little Italy.

17 Blocks rund um die Mullberry-Street zählten im 19. Jahrhundert zu Little Italy. Ca. 40.000 Süditaliener waren dort ansässig und der Lebensstandard sehr niedrig. Die untersten Stockwerke der Häuser hatten aufgrund der sehr engen Straßen kaum Sonnenlicht. Andere Probleme des Viertels waren die Verbreitung von Tuberkulose, Kriminalität und die Mafia – Cosa Nostra.

Als die Population Little Italy‘s im 20. Jahrhundert immer reicher und reicher wurde, zogen immer mehr Leute weg in bessere Standteile. Nur noch 5 % der in Little Italy lebenden Personen waren Italiener. Chinatown nebenan verbreitert sich immer mehr und heute zählen nur noch zwei Straßen, Mullberry Street und Grand Street, zum italienischen Stadtviertel.
