The Italian Mural is not in South Omaha, but it is in keeping with the common theme of representing different cultures which made up South Omaha. The mural is located on the corner of Seventh street and Pacific on Orsi's Italian Bakery and Pizzeria. The bakery has been there since 1916. It is in the heart of Little Italy. The mural has an Italian theme showing the boat bringing people to Ellis Island. Two brothers came here from Carlentini near Sicily. They set up a bank and then made arrangements for others from Carlentini to come to America. There are now more descendants from Carlentini in Omaha than residents of Carlentini. There are also religious themes and Italian food.
