Biographical Note A lifelong resident of Ybor City, Domenic "Don" Valenti Giunta (1914-2007) was an avid farmer and passionate teacher. He grew up working on the farm his father (Salvatore) founded in 1908 in east Ybor City and living in the home his family built in 1924. His farm, still operated by his daughters, is one of the only remnants of predominantly agricultural east Ybor City, as opposed to the western side, which traditionally housed the cigar factories and retail businesses. Giunta graduated from Hillsborough High School in 1932, earned his BA from the University of Tampa (1936) and his MA from USF in 1972. He taught at several of Tampa's Jr. high schools, including Washington, West Tampa, Phillip Shore, Franklin, and Chamberlain Adult School. He ran for mayor of Tampa against Curtis Hixon in 1949. Guinta died in 2007. Scope Note This collection includes articles, speech transcripts, correspondence, political and education materials and ephemera.
