Landmarks Immigrant Square is a square created to represent those who have immigrated to Clinton. In 1973, the statue of a man, who Joe Airola called Luigi, was created. Later, a coal fountain was constructed in front of Luigi. The Bull's head, also called Il Toro, is a drinking fountain created by Joe Airola. Joe envisioned this statue and with the help of his brother-in-law presented the concept to the Mayor of Turin. Airola felt that the bull was a symbol of Turin, a major city located in the Piedmont area in northern Italy. Little Italian House also known as La Piccolla Casa is a house that was believed to have been built in 1921. The Ricauda family owned the house from 1923 to 1971. It was then sold to Joseph P. Beno. In 1979, The L.I.F.T. committee purchased the house. Martha Costello's efforts to preserve the house led to it being open to the public in 1979. The house features a garden, Italian immigrant photos, furniture and household products. Features Admission to the Little Italy Festival is free including the Midway.
