Visit to Pomona

Hello Dr. Cinotto,

We would be pleased to have you visit us in December.

The week of Dec. 11 has several things going on. Dec. 11-12 we have many Master's theses students coming for appointments. Then, on the afternoon of Dec. 14 there is a Library event in the Special Collections room, so we will not be open for service. Wednesday Dec. 13 and Friday Dec. 15 look the best for us.I would like to mention some other places and contacts in addition to us that you might be interested in.

I imagine you will be visiting Guasti Plaza, the site of the old Italian Vineyard Company.

Also in the city of Ontario, there is a small Museum of History and Art that has recently installed an exhibit about the Italian Vineyard Company [contact director Theresa Hanley, thanley@ci.ontario.ca.us 909-983-8978].

The Ontario Public Library "Model Colony Room" has many files and news clippings about Guasti [http://www.ci.ontario.ca.us/index.cfm/6736 ; 909-395-2206 or 909-395-2004].

There are also several local Italian vintners that you might want to visit. In Los Angeles there is the Riboli family who runs the San Antonio Winery which dates back to 1917 [contact Steve Riboli, Jr.: steve@sanantoniowinery.com ; http://www.sanantoniowinery.com/homefr.html ; 323-223-1401 ex 24 ].

About 40 min. to the east of our campus are two other active Italian vintners whose families purchased their vineyards back in the 1920s. Gino Filippi [ 909-899-1236 ; ginoffvine@aol.com ; http://www.josephfilippiwinery.com/] and Don Galleano [951-685-5376 ; info@galleanowinery.com ].

We have an extensive collection of materials documenting Italian winemakers in California, including many books, directories, newspaper microfilms, oral histories, theses, photos, TV programs and archival videos, wine and grape crate labels, ephemera and other archival materials.

Depending on what you wish to study, you may want to spend more than one day exploring the collection.

Best regards,
Danette Cook Adamson
Special Collections Librarian

Bancroft Library

Professor Cinotto,

When you register at the Bancroft, they will require two forms of ID (at least one of those two must have a photo). When I went there, I showed my driver's license and my University of Minnesota student ID. I do not believe you will be needing any letters of reference.

The Bancroft is not currently in the UC Berkeley campus; it is actually on 2121 Allston Way, which is about one block from the Berkeley BART Station (if even that), which will be very convenient for you. As for access issues concerning ROHO, the main obstacle I can foresee is having to walk over there. ROHO is still inside the UC Berkeley campus--however, it is a bit of a walk so be sure to ask someone for directions (unfortunately, I don't recall the building name and the ROHO website does not state it). I recall having to walk past the tall clock on the campus. Please feel free to contact David Kessler, who was the archivist that I worked with while I was there: "David Kessler" dkessler@library.berkeley.edu

Mr. Kessler was extremely helpful during my visit. Or, you can contact the general Bancroft email address: "Bancroft Reference Letters" bancref@library.berkeley.edu The university also apparently will be having intercession hours around the Holidays, so be sure to check what their hours will be.

Hope this is helpful and that you are able to get a hold of Victor Geraci and David Kessler. They are both very nice and very helpful individuals. You may tell Mr. Kessler that I directed you to him; he may not recall me, but I was the one who visited this past summer and gave him a small box of chocolates.

Blood Red



California, 1890. Emigrato dalla Sicilia, un onesto e deciso viticultore deve difendere la propria terra, conquistata con enormi sacrifici, da un latifondista irlandese che vorrebbe usarla per costruirvi una ferrovia. Ma il siciliano non è disposto a cedere, e ne nasce una lotta senza quartiere.
