Italian War Ministry Cup, 1930
A Silver Cup donated to Cleveland by the Italian War Ministry in 1930. Like many Italian-Americans, Little Italy residents first saw the rise of Mussolini as a positive development for their homeland. However, by the time the United States entered World War II, most Italian-Americans were ready to fight on the side of the Allied forces, and against their native Italy, in the war to defeat fascism in Europe.
