Cleveland is full of ethnic groups and ethnic neighborhoods.  One historically known section of the city is Little Italy on the East side.  It is a part of town full of Italian-owned businesses including restaurants, bakeries, and other various shops.  Little Italy was established in 1885 when large groups of Italian immigrants came to Cleveland to work.  Like many ethnic groups at the time, this Italian community stayed in the area and began to establish businesses of their own.  Still today, this neighborhood holds a nostalgic charm.  The street is full of flags and pride for the culture.  I spent the day in Little Italy yesterday and snapped these great shots.  I also snagged myself a delicious eclair from Corbo’s Bakery.  Italian desserts will definitely give you a feeling of La Dolce Vita.

The essence of the Italian culture is apparent in these photos.  I tried to capture  their love of food, faith and flowers.  Check out the rest of the pics here.
