Sinatra's Tailor: An Italian Immigrant's Story
A “captivating” account of an Italian immigrant’s journey from World War II orphan in Italy to celebrity tailor for Hollywood’s finest (Italian America, magazine of the Sons and Daughters of Italy).
With Italy ruptured by conflict during the Second World War, a young boy is sent off without explanation to a Roman Catholic orphanage by his beloved grandfather. Umberto Autore would not return to his family home for many years. What follows is a remarkable story of how Umberto survived a childhood raised by “nuns and Nazis” and went on to become a sought-after celebrity clothier in Los Angeles, courting the tastes of such Hollywood luminaries as Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Steven Spielberg, and many others.
Heartwarming, harrowing, and often humorous, Umberto’s account of his reunion with his family and his journey to the shores of America, where he found success beyond his wildest imaginings, is a moving and unforgettable tale of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, and an inspiring account of the American immigrant experience.
