 The parents of famed baseball players Vince, Joe and Dom DiMaggio were born and raised in Isola delle Femmine.Other descendants have found success in many other fields.In commemoration of the ties of Pittsburg’s Sicilian settlers to fishing, Frank Vitale, a descendent of those immigrants, created a life size bronze Fisherman statue that stands at the Pittsburg Marina at the foot of Railroad Avenue with a plaque containing the names of its first Sicilian settlers.
