Little Italy 
Izabela, Gabrielle, Claudia and Mary
Transportation 
 Little Italy is located southwest of Loyola. 
 We took the red line to Jackson, then switched to the blue line. On the blue 
line we got off at Racine. Once we got off we took W Van Buren St to S 
Ashland Ave to W Taylor St.
History 
•Italians arrived in Chicago in the late nineteenth century and quickly developed their 
own area where their culture, religion, and other social backgrounds could flourish. 
•In 1900 there were around 16,000 Italians in the city and that number multiplied by 
five in just thirty years. 
•There were Italians throughout Chicago but Little Italy had the most densely 
populated area. 
•The Italian immigrants and Little Italy had a major impact on the city of Chicago. 
The Italian Socialist Federation was founded in 1908 and many Italian parishes were 
developed throughout the city. The Italian mafia in the ‘20s also impacted Chicago.
Demographics 
 Total Population: 7,129 
 Ethnic/Racial Breakdown: 89.8% African American, 0.1% American Indian, 0.8% 
Asian, 2.5% Hispanic or Latino, 5.5% White 
 Gender Ration: 55.3% female, 44.7% male 
 Age Distribution: 7.4% under 5, 33.8% under 18, 6.8% over 65, 59.4% between 
18 and 65 
 Median Income: $48,173
Activities and Landmarks 
 We ate dinner at a restaurant called Pompei, we all had hand rolled pizza 
and cannolis. The menu was pretty extensive at the restaurant, we had a 
choice between different sandwiches (Italian sausage, eggplant 
parmesan, etc.), pasta dishes (hand cut and made), stuffed pizza, hand 
rolled pizza and plenty of dessert choices. 
 We went to the Piazza DiMaggio which was built in 1998, this is a fountain 
right across the street from the hall of fame museum- this was a gift 
from the city of Chicago to the Little Italy village. 
 We wanted to take a look in the National Italian Sports Hall of Fame, but 
it was closed by the time we got there. The hall of fame not only includes 
famous athletes like Tommy and Jo Lasorda, there is also a rooftop 
terrace and a Frank Sinatra Performing Arts center.
Reflections 
 Gabrielle: After researching Little Italy, it became evident how historical the neighborhood 
we went to really was. Seeing how the culture still remains present today after such a long 
period of time is very interesting. 
 Mary: It was really interesting to see a different side of the city. Not being from this area, I 
haven’t been able to explore much, so this gave me an opportunity. I really want to explore 
more parts of the city and get to know places that I might like going to more often. 
 Claudia: After having visited the neighborhood, it opened my eyes to the different cultures 
that surround us in the city of Chicago. This little exploration has encouraged me to look 
into other neighborhoods in order to expand my understanding of cultural diversity. I 
enjoyed the food and the way the village lit up as it started to get a bit darker 
 Izabela: I’ve been to Little Italy before with my parents and I enjoyed going again. Growing 
up right outside of Chicago, I always feel like I’ve experienced most of it, but going to 
places like this makes me realize I really haven’t. Going on this exploration makes me want 
to explore other little neighborhoods or villages like it to experience different cultures.
