Here's a 1957 clip showing the influence of the Italian way of life in North Beach, San Francisco.

Clothes hanging on a line. Signs from ethnic eateries and restaurants. Little Italy. Marina area with sail boats and fishing vessels. Fisherman at work in San Francisco Bay, throwing his net in the water, pulling up crab traps. Now unloading his catch back near the wharf. Fisherman’s Wharf with cook throwing crabs into boiling water. People buying things at a crab stand.

Cooks making cheese, pasta, and bread from scratch, and preparing a large chunk of meat. People dining in an Italian restaurant. Old men playing some bowling type ball game, maybe bocce ball.
