Scope and Content of Collection
The papers primarily document Gino
Speranza's
work as a journalist and war correspondent for
Outlook and the
New York Evening Post in Italy and political and military attaché for the United States embassy in Rome from 1917 to 1919, with materials relating
to Italian politics and diplomacy during World War I and in the postwar period.
A highlight of the papers are
Speranza's
Diaries, which run from June 1915 to May 1919. His almost daily entries reflect on the news of each day, his interactions with Italian
and American officials, stories of the Italian people during wartime, and his travels with his wife, Florence Colgate
Speranza
. The diaries from 1918 to 1919 include entries on the debate over Italian territorial claims and other issues discussed at
the Paris Peace Conference. Letters, telegrams, photographs and postcards are interfiled with the diary pages.
In 1941,
Speranza's
diaries were edited and published in two volumes by Florence Colgate
Speranza
, who also volunteered for various war relief agencies in Italy during the war. In preparation for this publication, Florence
Colgate compiled seventeen
Scrapbooks containing photographs, clippings, letters, printed matter, and ephemera that correspond to the pages of the published diaries.
Some notes on the photographs and correspondence are in
Speranza's
handwriting however clippings and postcards dated after 1927 confirm that the scrapbooks were compiled after his death. Florence
Colgate's own personal diary is in the
Florence Colgate
Speranza
file.
As a journalist embedded with Italian soldiers along the Isonzo river and in the Alps,
Speranza's
Writings are comprised mainly of his firsthand reports from the frontline. Some topics he addresses include America's role in the
war, the Adriatic question, the effects of war on Italian towns on the front, and the difficulties of fighting at high altitudes.
Many of these experiences are also recollected in his
Diaries. The series also contains some articles written after the war as well as
Speranza's
writings and reports from his time as an attaché to the American embassy in Rome.
In the
Correspondence series are the letters
Speranza
received from an Italian American soldier stationed in Bari named Esterino Alex Tarasca.
Speranza's
interactions with Tarasca inspired a series of short stories titled "American I.," a draft of which is included in his Writings.
Other correspondence of note includes letters exchanged with U.S. ambassador to Italy Thomas Nelson Page and American consul
to Italy B. Harvey Carroll, Jr.
The container list for the papers includes a numbering system taken from envelopes that originally housed the collection materials.
The numbers refer to a preliminary inventory of the papers most likely created when they arrived at the archives in 1942.
Although the numbers do not appear to have any logical sequence, they identify materials that were originally grouped together
and for this reason, when available, the numbers were carried over onto the folder titles. For example, II-34 indicates Section
II, Envelope 34. While this numbering system has been retained, similar materials have been combined in series to facilitate
research.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged in ten series: Biographical file, Diaries, Correspondence, Writings, Italy subject file, Clippings,
Photographs and postcards, Florence Colgate
Speranza
, Scrapbooks, and Oversize materials
