Fernando's Footsteps About the author Tony Carreño, a Tampa native with Spanish and Sicilian roots, has been engaged in preserving Tampa’s cultural heritage for more than four decades. In the past few years, as a member of the Board of Directors of Centro Español de Tampa, he has been instrumental in the production of two documentary films about Tampa’s Spanish immigrant community. Carreño has provided knowledgeable “guided tours” to Asturias for Tampa locals to further their knowledge and appreciation of this unique history. Carreño is a trustee and current member of the Ybor City Historical Society.

He had managed to get a decent night's sleep, even though his "bed" was really a long wooden bench, and he had slept in the sitting position. Like for many of his fellow passengers, his youth, not quite 18 years of age, had made this possible. Read More Part One: a trabajar / get to work Ignacio explained that "La Gallega" is where he has lived for the past 3 years. Ybor City had many boarding houses that catered to single men, mostly Spaniards, but this one had earned the reputation of being the best. He had arranged for Fernando and him to share one of the larger rooms. Zapato gestured to Gaitero to pass through the small gate. Read More Part Two: La Vida / The Life Fernando and Ignacio finished their snacks and continued walking home. Gaitero was frustrated yet mesmerized by the mysterious Giuseppina Licata. His thoughts were interrupted by Zapato's voice. "Hombre, mañana es tu día especial. La costumbre aquí es que a llegar a los dieciocho eres un hombre. Tenemos que celebrar!" Read More Part Three: El barrio candamo / the candamo neighborhood "Por favor, Fernando. Llame a María Messina. Rompí aguas, y los dolores vienen muy fuertes!" Giuseppina, in her now perfect Spanish, asked Fernando to call María Messina because her water sac had broken and her pains were quickly becoming very strong. María Messina Greco's skills as a midwife had become legendary throughout Ybor City and West Tampa. Read More Part Four: El Segundo Escape / The Second Escape Fernando was grateful for the high ceilings and huge fans in the Licata warehouse. His office was toward the rear of the vast space, and was semi-enclosed. It was a stifling hot and humid day in June of 1936. Almost five years had passed since Fernando joined the Licata family business. Having expanded beyond fresh fruits and vegetable, the company was now called "Licata Food Distributors". Focusing on Mediterranean food products, it was one of the main suppliers of wholesale food items to restaurants in Tampa and the west coast of Florida. Read More Part Five: ¡Ahora, Somos Americanos! / Now, We are Americans! Shortly after 9:30 a.m. the "Phoenix" docked in lower Manhattan. Captain Winchester informed the Tampeños that they must stay on board until an immigrations officer inspected their documents and approved entry into the U.S.A. About an hour and a half later the immigration officer arrived. He apologized for their wait, advising them that more passengers than usual are arriving in freighters. He attributed this to the political instability in Europe, especially in Spain. Read More Part Six: Un Mundo en guerra / a world at war "Los Helados", named for their delicious homemade ice cream, was known for serving some of the best food in Ybor City and West Tampa. Fernando and Giuseppina didn't mind waiting for a table. Though it was a Tuesday afternoon, the dining room was filled to capacity. It was two days before Thanksgiving, 1941, and Fernando relished this yearly tradition. He would work half the day on Tuesday, and not return to work until the following Monday.

History was my favorite subject to teach in first through sixth grade classrooms. I am the person who never makes it through a museum in one day because I have to read every display. After recently moving to Tampa from Colorado, we quickly fell in love with Ybor, her people, and all the stories she has to telI. We are excited to be a part of this community and learning more - so began my time volunteering with YCMS. My first task was helping to organize pamphlets and fliers from previous events, and it could not have been more perfect. With each piece, I was able to put myself in the past and learn something new, something special. I enjoy the little ways I am able to help - organizing spaces, and I appreciate the unique ways I am able to help - meeting MLB Legends at the Al Lopez house during Baseball, Bourbon, and Cigars. I give special thanks to Arminda and Gina for welcoming me into this one of a kind community with wide open arms. Yandi, Volunteer Volunteer
