Italy in the Union Station
Vita Nuova, July 1925
Attorney Chevalier Mario Lauro sent to the Chicago Tribune the following letter:
Chicago, July 5th.
I would be glad if you noticed that Chicago's newest wonder, the great Union Station, has not only walls of marble imported from Italy, a structure of classic Roman design, as is written below the picture published in the Sunday Tribune of today.
Note also that the man who drew the plans and under whose management the "newest wonder" was built is an Italian.
He is G. D'Esposito, born in Sorrento, Italy, of Italian parents, and educated in Italy. He came to this country about twenty-six years ago 2after he had completed his studies in Italy, and it is quite certain that the American citizen, P. D'Esposito is a source of pride both to his fatherland and the country of his adoption.
