The Gate on the “Golden Gate”

Reading Valenti Angelo’s “Golden Gate” to my five-year old son.


I recently read Valenti Angelo’s novel Golden Gate to my five-year-old son. The children’s book, published in 1939, tells the story of Nino, a young boy from Northern Italy who emigrates to California, passing briefly through Ellis Island and spending one night in “a lodging house run by a Neapolitan” somewhere on Bleecker Street (63).
