The Italian Stallions tells the story,
through more than 100 classic images, many of which have never been published,
of the men who attained fame during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Primo Carnera,
Willie Pep, Rocky Graziano, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Marciano and
Roland LaStarza; to this day, it's hard to hear the names without seeing them
etched in big grainy black block letters on the posters that would advertise
that week's card at Madison Square Garden. Together, their story is a
remarkable saga in American sport and life.
