This is a non-fiction account of the life of my grandfather. His life starts in Sicily and follows him through his arrival in New York and his experiences in the small colonial town of Johnstown and twin city Gloversville. Although it is not permeated with gangsters and violence there is much action. Life for immigrants in these small upstate New York villages was not a simple transition and there are plenty of unusual happenings. I wrote this story as a treatment for a screenplay and when you peruse the work you will see how it flows from chapter to chapter. Some chapters are short but still very visual. It is my sincerest desire that you will find a very unusual and exciting journey of a Sicilian immigrant striving to survive in a new and fast changing world.

About the author: William V. Fioravanti was born and reared in the Colonial town of Johnstown, New York. He caught the tail end of the bigotry and hatred that had haunted his father and grandfather. The author eventually graduated from Syracuse University where he had studied intensely in Theatre, Literature, and Political Science and History. After many years in the world of business he returned to writing plays and the short book about his grandfather. It is his wish that anyone who reads his work "A Sicilian's Journey" will catch a glimpse of the immigrant experience from a different point of view.
