    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Frances Kuryla relates the immigration of her father, Michael Gallo and her uncle Nichola Gallo from Italy.  Kuryla&#039;s father and uncle believed that they would have a better opportunity to practice their trade as stonecutter, in the United States.  Nichola Gallo arrived in 1887 and started as a stone cutter.  He left this profession to charter the first Italian bank and was involved in assisting  immigrants with his steamship travel agency and money exchange program.  On his retirement he closed the bank.  Kuryla&#039;s father immigrated later  (1900) and also worked as a stonecutter.  He then opened a wholesale grocery business and had his own line of food under the Gallo label.  He later took over the steamship agency and money exchange program from his brother, Nichola.  The two brothers often assisted  Italian immigrants with financial and personal issues.]]></dcterms:description>
