Interview of Adriana Busti-Carioti

Description

This interview was conducted on Sunday, October 4th 2015 with Adriana Busti-Carioti a native of Spoleto, Italy. Born in 1946 and immigrated to the United States and settled in with family working as chefs at the Italian Embassy shortly after her 19th birthday. High unemployment in Spoleto and the whole Umbria region following World War II left many young people desperate for work. A short peak in employment hit Spoleto every year with their Spoleto Festival which features performances and exhibits attracting people from around the world. In the past fifty years of living in the United States Adriana has gotten her Cosmetology certification, she has raised 5 sons, and currently works part-time cutting hair at a retirement home or doing some her favorite actives like traveling, cooking, and spending time with her family.
