Sandra and Martin discuss the Macaroni Riots of 1914, which took place in Federal Hill, an Italian American enclave, in Providence Rhode Island. The catchy name belies the important issues that moved so many citizens to violence. In honor of the anniversary of the Macaroni Riots, Martin serves some delicious pasta piselli. Then they speak with Martin's mother about happy child memories in Rhode Island from the late 1940s.
