Some very fascinating tales of Liverpool’s “little Italy”. They were all Italian immigrants on my mums side. All built a future in Liverpool for all of us and all good Evertonians.
Some brilliant stories to read online and a couple of books about Little Italy. My sister and my daughters done a lot of research / digging a few yrs back and there are so many connections there, all the families names listed.
A steady flow of Italian immigrants arrived in Liverpool between 1860 and 1912, and settled in the cobbled side streets on the eastern side of Byrom Street. A census report for 1891, reveals that there were a significant number of Italians living in Gerard Street, Hunter Street, Lionel Street and Whale Street. The growth of the community was very distinctive and by 1913, it was estimated that there were in excess of 400 Italian-born settlers in the tiny cluster of streets which by then had become affectionately known to local residents as 'Little Italy' Although in the early days the immigrants suffered some hardships, by 1920, the residents of this close-knit community had become an integral part of Liverpool's society. Many of the residents earned a living as musicians, organ-grinders, hotel workers, knife-sharpeners and street entertainers. But it was in ice-cream making that several families distinguished themselves. Working to their own recipe the delicious commodity was made in the homes of the individuals then sold around the streets from little carts. Other families opened fish and chip shops throughout the city and as a result of their business enterprises, the Santangeli, Gianelli, Podesta, Chiappe, Frediani and Fusco families became part of the folk-lore of the locality.
Originally ,the ice-cream was sold in licking glasses, which was very unhygenic, nevertheless it was one of the most common occupations of Little Italy . By 1900 ice-cream vending had replaced nearly all other jobs including street entertaining and knife sharpening. The ice-cream vendors became known as The Hokey-Pokey men. The phrase was derived from the Italians shouting "O che poco" meaning "Oh how little" (refering to the price) and the English roughly translated it to Hokey-Pokey. The phrase caught on so much that the ice-cream vendors had it written on the sides of their ice-cream carts. (source Liverpool italian families)
