Life with Luigi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life With Luigi was a radio comedy-drama series which began in 1948 on CBS. The story concerned Italian immigrant Luigi Basco, and his experiences as an immigrant in Chicago. Many of the shows take place at the US citizenship classes that Luigi attends with other immigrants from different countries. Luigi was played by J. Carrol Naish, an Irish-American. Naish continued in the role on the short-lived television version in 1952. The show was created by Cy Howard, who also created the radio show My Friend Irma.
The show was often seen as the Italian counterpart to the radio show The Goldbergs, which chronicled the experience of Jewish immigrants in New York.
