"Legacy of a Hero" is the remarkable story of Genio Basilici,
legendary patriarch of an Italian community near Boston. In 1946,
he sends his son, Enrico, to Italy to find and assist family
members in the aftermath of war. Alternating with his son's search
and harrowing escape from a Neapolitan street gang and his brief
but passionate affair with graciella, Genio relives his arrival in
America at the turn of the century in flashbacks of memory. It was
a time when virulent prejudice and constant, anti-Italian hate
campaigns forced him to step forward in defense of his countrymen;
the time of the Great Depression, of Sacco and Vanzetti and the
anarchist movement. It was a time when a huge influx of non-English
speaking immigrants flooded our cities and sparked a firestorm of
resentment. It was an incendiary era when ordinary individuals rose
to extraordinary heights. It was a time to remember.
