One such bombing caused severe damage to the front of the Italian Consulate in oakland section of Pittsburgh
at 511 North Neville Street as seen in the picture above
Although there was an arrest in Cleveland FBI was unable to tie the cases together and the individuals responsible are unknown to this day. Where mafia sympathizers involved after Mussolini had many arrested jailed and tortured or deported very possible. But this again is a case where the statutes of limitations has long run and those involved long dead and gone. It makes for an interesting foot note in Pittsburgh and US history. as many Italians where not welcomed in this country when they first arrived in this country seen as foreign invaders they where often discriminated against and at times paid even less than negro workers at the time when some coal mines etc paid Irish , Negroes and Italians much less than others. so could anti Italians have been involved in the bombings ? this is also possible as well . Who ever did the bombings they covered there tracks well.
