As Revere is seeing many changes in its neighborhoods, one of the many staples in Revere is the popular Vinny’s Market on the corner of Malden Street and Newhall Street. The store was opened 45 years ago by the Prezioso family who had immigrated from Cerignola, Italy.

Owner Angelo Prezioso is a proud Italian immigrant who moved to the United States 55 years ago with his parents and three siblings. They lived a typical Italian life where they worked hard for everything and also lived a life rich in family and culture. They had a farm with many animals. Angelo’s father would often trade milk from the cows for foods and goods.
