Fifteen students from St. Paul School for Boys in Lutherville recently toured Little Italy, including stops at St. Leo's Church, Columbus Piazza, Piedigrotta Bakery, and neighborhood murals. "Our purpose for this project was to learn about ethnic Baltimore; these 15 boys chose to explore Little Italy," said Rick Brocato, teacher.

At Piedigrotta Italian Bakery on Bank Street, owner Carmenantonio Iannaccone showed the boys through his beloved kitchen. "Carmenantonio and Bruna were wonderful!" said Brocato. "The boys wanted to stay all day and watch and listen to him! Plus, he gave them free cookies."
