Today is June 10, 1979 and George Pozzetta and myself, Gary Mormino, are talking to Mr.–– is it Anthony or Nicholas? Nick Nuccio: Nick. GM: ––Nick Nuccio at his lovely home in Tampa, and Mr. Nuccio, why don’t we begin. Could you tell us something about your family’s background? Maybe your father or where he came from and uh–– NN: My father came from Palermo at the age of fifteen. My mother came from Santo Stefano Quisquina, Sicily at the age of ten. They got married in Tampa. GM: What did your father do in the old country? NN: In the old country? GM: Uh-huh. NN: Well he was treated like [a] child. At seventeen years old, he didn’t do anything. GM: How about his family? NN: His family were farmers. GM: Contadini?1 1 Italian peasant farmers 1 NN: Yeah, farmers. And when my father came to Tampa at the age of sixteen he started working for the railroad a little bit. And then after that he came back to Tampa and St. Cloud–– and then he came back to Tampa and he started working at the cigar factory. The cigar industry was booming. My mother at the age of sixteen started working also in a cigar factory. George Pozzetta: Do you know what type of job your father did in the cigar factories? NN: Oh, my mother was a roller and my father was picking up bunches to a routine. He did this for many, many years and my father eventually went into business. He got into the filling station business from about 1922 to 1923. And he stayed in that business for about thirty years and then he retired. He didn’t do anything until he passed away at the age of ninety-two, my father. My mother passed away at the age of ninety-five here in Tampa. GM: Wow. You feel pretty confident then. (laughs) NN: I am going to live until I am ninety-five. GM: Yes. You have said a lot there. Let’s maybe break it down a little bit. Now, was your father from Palermo or was it one of the [surrounding] towns? NN: He was from Palermo. GM: How did he hear about Tampa? Why did he come to Tampa and not New York or Chicago? NN: Well he had some family here. His father was here. Do you understand his father worked in a mill and then he sent for him. Just the same thing as [with] my mother, my father sent for her. One came and then he sent for one of the family and then sent for two. And then you had the whole family here. GM: Right, right. What was he expecting when he came? Did he ever tell you? Well, what did he expect Tampa would be like or what had he heard about America or Tampa? NN: Well he knew that he was going to live a little better here than in Italy, you understand? Matter of fact, my father, living here when he retired, also wanted him to go to Italy and visit his old country, you know, where he was born. And he said, “No, I’ll never go there. Once I left there I decided that I would never go there again with the misery and the suffering that I had.” See if he was around that’s what he would say and I think it is true. He said, “With a piece of bread in my pocket. I had to find water whenever I wanted [it]. Tending sheep you know in the mountains from morning till night. Every day of the week.” It was a hard life for him. GM: Right. Now what year did he come to Tampa, your father? Do you remember? 2 NN: Oh–– GM: If you had to guess. NN: No, I have no idea when he came to Tampa. GM: You mentioned that he came to St. Cloud first. NN: St. Cloud, yeah. GM: Tell us why he came to St. Cloud and what he did there? NN: Because everybody, all the Italian people were working on the railroad at that time. And naturally some of his friends invited him to work over there. So he went to St. Cloud. He was a youngster. And when he got married, then he started working in the cigar factory. Worked there for about maybe four or five years. And then he started working over there in the cigar industry and got into making. GP: Did he ever talk about what the early cigar factories were like, what conditions were like? NN: The same as they are today, the same as they are today. Yeah. The only difference today is that you got machines to make cigars. At that time you didn’t have no machines. They all made hand-made cigars. That’s the only difference there was. As far as the atmosphere it was the same thing it is today. GM: Uh-huh. What about at St. Cloud? Did he ever tell you what life was like there? What kind of job he did? NN: He enjoyed it. He said that he enjoyed it. Said that he had a good living there. GM: What did he do? NN: Working on the railroad. Getting up early and putting down the tracks. GM: Right. And then he came from St. Cloud to Tampa. Any idea what year this might have been if you had to take a guess? NN: [No.] GM: Okay. What were his first impressions of Tampa? NN: He really liked it. He liked it very much. As a matter of fact, he made his home here. He could have gone anywhere else you know what I mean? But he didn’t. He wanted to stay in Tampa. 3 GM: Why did he get a job in the cigar factory? Why not–– NN: Because it paid a little better. GM: How did he learn the trade? NN: It was easier work. Somebody said at that time they had people that trained these workers. They didn’t have so many. So some old timers that [were] making cigars in Cuba for example, they came, immigrated here, to Tampa. They taught all these newcomers how to make cigars. GM: Right, right. NN: My mother [was] the same way. GM: Uh-huh. What did he tell you about conditions in the factory? NN: They were very good. Very good. He enjoyed it very much. He never had a problem there. GP: Did he ever talk about how the different ethnic groups in Tampa got along? The Cubans, Spaniards, [Italians] –– NN: Very, very close. GP: All three? NN: Very, very close. As a matter of fact it was closer then than they are today. GM: Why do you think that was? NN: Well at that time they used to live all in one section for example. Like in Ybor City. And West Tampa. West Tampa was home to the Spanish and Cuban element and Ybor City was the Cubans and the Italians. Mostly Italians over there. Only a few Italians were in West Tampa. See my area here is supposed to be West Tampa’s section. Everybody from Ybor City came in this section here now. They are all living in this area.

    MAKING A SUNBELT PLACE: TAMPA, FLORIDA, 1923 – 1964 By ALAN J. BLISS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Alan J. Bliss 2 To my wife Lynn, with gratitude for traveling a long highway with me 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Such success as this project may enjoy owes to many teachers at both Santa Fe Community College and the University of Florida. No one has been more influential in my academic life than the remarkable Robert Zieger, now Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida. Since the day in 1998 when I appeared in his office doorway, he has skillfully supervised my undergraduate honors thesis, my master’s paper, and this dissertation. He has made me a historian, and pulled it off with a deft combination of scholarly rigor, expertise, and good humor. I count our professional relationship and our friendship as my good fortune. My thanks also go to Barbara Oberlander of Santa Fe Community College, who aimed me in the direction of a distant goal, and referred me to Robert Zieger. In addition to Bob Zieger as chair, my dissertation committee included Jack Davis, Joseph Spillane, Jeffrey Needell, and Grant Thrall. Their perspectives on my project varied, but their thoughtful criticism throughout the research and writing process encouraged me and improved my work. Contrary to what some outside the academy may believe, to members of the graduate faculty at a research institution such as the University of Florida, every working hour is precious.

Brick streets are lined with sidewalks of hexagonal concrete pavers and old-fashioned, cast-iron street lamps. Buildings present ornate porticos, decorative brickwork, handmade wrought-iron balconies, and ornamental tile work. A few small, plain workers' cottages, once home to Ybor City's cigar workers, have been preserved. Mutual aid society clubhouses indicate the importance of benevolent organizations to Ybor City's immigrant population. On a quiet corner lies a small park dedicated to Cuban poet and revolutionary José Martí. The park is a reminder of Martí's efforts to gain support for the cause of Cuban freedom in the 1890s.

  • The Shelter Revolution: Housing and Community Planning In
    THE SHELTER REVOLUTION: HOUSING AND COMMUNITY PLANNING IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA, 1940-1990 AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE TWENTY-FIFTH DAY OF JUNE 2017 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY Peyton Lee Jones ! Abstract: In the last half of the twentieth century, a major transformation occurred in American residential living. While in the 1950s and 1960s the single-family, detached home dominated residential development, in the 1970s and 1980s new forms of residential dwellings and communities, ranging from private retirement communities, to mobile homes and trailer parks, to condominiums, to gated, privately governed “towns,” proliferated across the metropolitan landscape. The changes in residential living, what can be understood as a “shelter revolution,” played an integral role in the spatial, political, and social formation of metropolises in the Global South. This dissertation examines the “shelter revolution” in Tampa Bay, Florida, between 1940 and the 1985. In so doing, it explores the changing relationship between housing and community design, community formation, and residential and metropolitan political culture. It argues that changes in residential living fueled and shaped metropolitan growth and expansion. At the same time, innovations in residential design and development, along with new legal instruments of property ownership, altered the residential experience. Over time, these changes rippled throughout metropolitan life, transfiguring the built environment and transforming the ways Americans built, purchased, and experienced residential housing and community. These changes drove the physical, cultural, and economic formation of the Tampa Bay, from a series of scattered urban settlements into a regional metropolis.

Italians were the second largest non-black minority group behind Mexicans to be lynched, and in understanding the circumstances surrounding those acts of extrajudicial violence, a pattern is apparent. Lynchings of Italians in Louisiana emerged out of fear of the Black Hand (La Mano Nera), and the Mafia, whereas the sole incident of an Italian being lynched in Tampa occurred as a result of a strike, and the larger specter of labor militancy.

    DEFYING THE SUNBELT: AN ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY OF TAMPA, 1950-1980 By BRAD THOMAS MASSEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Brad Thomas Massey To Lauren, Luke, and Will ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank the faculty and staff of the University of Florida’s Department of History for making me a better historian. I also thank Jack Davis, Joseph Spillane, Jessica Harland-Jacobs, Trysh Travis, and Lillian Guerra for serving on my dissertation committee. I also extend many thanks to my colleagues at Polk State College, where I have taught for the past ten years. As a new faculty member, Jude Ryan’s enduring—yet concealed—belief in innate human goodness and the power of the college experience to uncloak it, helped make my first years as an idealistic history teacher the most professionally fulfilling of my life. My biggest debt of intellectual gratitude goes out to Lj Russum, who I also befriended at Polk State. The interindustrial lens, which is a centerpiece of this dissertation, was conceived through a series of long, meandering, and fruitful conversations with Lj. Lj’s comments and criticisms also vastly improved Chapter 4. More than anyone else, Lj has helped me understand the pleasures, perils, and frustrations of academic pursuits. I also thank Polk State for awarding me the Banking Endowed Teaching Chair in 2011, and for financially supporting this project. The bulk of this dissertation is based on sources archived at the University of South Florida Special Collections, the Hillsborough County public library system, and the City of Tampa Archives.
