Pina and Rudy came from Calabria, the toe of the Italian boot. On Lodi Street in Hackensack, they recreated the land they left behind in microcosm.
Maria (Pina) Oliveri and Rudolfo (Rudy) Siclari had met as godparents at a baptism. They married in 1957, a peak year for post-war Italian migration, when some 39,000 Calabrians left that province. Shortly thereafter, the newlyweds joined the exodus to America.
