The late AMERICO A. SAVASTANO, MD,(1906–1987), (Figure 1), Chief of Orthopedicsat Rhode Island Hospital from1965–1978, was an early leader in sportsmedicine. His story is as American as baseball;in fact, he served on President LyndonJohnson’s Council on Physical Fitness andSports, when it was co-chaired by baseballlegend Stan Musial.As a young boy of about 6 years old,Americo left for America, leaving his familyhome in the hill town of Orchi, Italy,north of Naples, where his father Carminewas a blacksmith, to cross the NorthAtlantic alone circa 1912 to live withfamily friends in Providence, on Federal Hill.In a Maine newspaper article in 2017, his son, Jeff Savastano,said his dad worked as a 12-year-old shining shoeson the street. It was not an unusual thing to do, as manyProvidence youth found work on the streets, in their homes,and in factories, as photos by Lewis W. Hine documented inProvidence in 1912–1913. (Figures 2–4)Life was tough, at times, but the food was fabulous, withthe smell of fresh-baked bread wafting through the streets,and newly rolled pasta hanging in the kitchens.
