The latest episode of “Nuova York: Hidden in Plain Sight” tells the story of a pivotal place for Italians celebrating May Day in New York—the Italian Labor Center. Contributing to this chapter is Andrea Fiano, Editor at Large of Global Finance Magazine. 

Built over a century ago, at 231 East 14th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, the Italian Labor Center was the headquarters of the Local 48 of the Italian Ladies Garment Union, which counted over 12,000 members. It also became a hub for anti-fascist activity during World War II.
