A New `Roseto Effect'
`People Are Nourished By Other People'
October 11, 1996|By Ron Grossman and Charles Leroux, Chicago Tribune Staff Writers.
ROSETO, Pa. — Imitating its namesake in the Appenine Mountains of southern Italy, this village of 1,500 clings to a forested ridge in the Poconos.
Not many outsiders wind their way up here, and those who do may first think they have stumbled upon a ghost town. During the day, the children all are in school while nearly every adult is away at work in nearby towns. Vegetable plots and grape arbors adjoining modest frame houses await the return of their gardeners. On front porches, which often are built right up to the sidewalks, chairs are lined up ready for the evening's passeggiata.
That Old World reanimates Roseto's streets in a leisurely promenade punctuated with frequent stops to share news of the day and gossip about the great strings of extended Italian-American families who live here.
"You go down the street, and everybody says, `Hello, hello'," said Anita Renna, 43. "You feel like you're the mayor."
