An image of women harvesting wheat in Italy.

Born into a family of millers, Vince Sirianni was immersed in the tradition of mulino (grinding wheat into flour) from youth.  It would be the transportation and adaptation of this trade to America that would eventually carry Vince to the Pittsburgh area in 1933. Listen as Vince relates how his father and grandfather practiced their old world trade in Italy and adapted it to their new life in America.
