New book reveals Italian connection in Liverpool

DEBRA D’ANNUNZIO shows Flo Clucas, deputy leader of Liverpool City Council, a copy of her book about how Italian families settled in Liverpool in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Cllr Clucas is travelling to Brussels with Nunzia Bertali, the Italian consul for Merseyside, to attend this week’s conference about the Birkenhead-built Arandora Star, the Blue Star liner, sunk by a U-boat in 1940 with the loss of more than 800 people, including German PoWs and Italian internees.

Cllr Clucas, who has Italian ancestry, and Mrs Bertali, will use that as an opportunity to give representatives of the Italian Government a presentation copy of the book, to be published next month.
