Why Bridge? From the beginning of the 19th century onward, a substantial influx of Italians immigrated to Canada searching for better lives for their families. Mimmo Napoli was one of these wide-eyed men looking to raise a family, start a life in Canada. It was not without trial and hardship that Mimmo and the thousands of other Italians immigrated to this Country. But the View was Bright and as of 2006, Italian Canadians account for nearly TEN percent of Toronto’s entire population. “A View From the Bridge” highlights the plight of immigrants, the continuing struggle to make a home out of a foreign land, and out of a new culture. Arthur Miller’s story resonates for its brave and honest look at our trials as foreigners and as humans.
