Abstract
When we think of what Italian immigrant men did for work in Pittsburgh during the first half of the 20th century, we more than likely imagine miners, laborers, and mill workers toiling for long hours. We may also picture those with trades, such as cobblers and barbers, or those who ran small businesses or peddled goods. What was not as common, but certainly not out of the ordinary, were Italian men earning a living as professional artists and musicians.
