0057 - Bread and Belonging: The Vision of Bernardo Bracco

Bernardo Bracco came to the Copper Country in the 1880’s in search of a new life for his growing family. With foresight, ambition and working with fellow Italian immigrants from the Piedmont region Italy, Bracco established a business enterprise that nourished and housed not only the Italian immigrants of Red Jacket but the mining community as a whole. His influence went beyond his businesses; Bernardo was actively involved in the culture and community of Red Jacket at the turn of the 20th century.
