What’s more (Italian) American than the Old West? And we’re not talking about Clint Eastwood’s “Spaghetti Westerns” (a film genre invented by Italian director/producer/screenwriter Sergio Leone). No, we’re talking about the real Old West, or at least the one popularized in novels, movies, and, yes, even history books. It all stems from the (real-life) work of an Italian-American, who almost single-handedly created the vision of this iconic American archetype. Who is he and what’s his story? Read this week’s Carosa Commentary “Charles Angelo Siringo, The Cowboy Detective – A Classic (Italian) American Archetype” to learn about how Charlie Siringo influenced the classic narrative of the Old West.
