Video recording of a slideshow presentation by Samuel J. Marino that was directed and included photographs from Silas S. Stamper. It includes visuals of portraits, monuments, statues, busts, and books that depict Christopher Columbus. It was overlaid with music from the Italian Symposium of Texas and narration explaining who the artists, and writers were along with a history of Columbus.

Amateur production about the Italian American experience in Texas that may have been created for the Italian Symposium of Texas in September 1984. This video is the unedited original shots for the completed "Italians in Texas" documentary film. North Texas State University professor Dr. Samuel J. Marino was the lead for the piece, which was based off of Texas Woman's University professor of Government, Valentine J. Belfiglio's 1983 book, "The Italian Experience in Texas". Drs. Belfiglio and Marino traveled to Texas towns that historically had Italian communities and filmed interviews with residents, as well as scenery. At various intervals the video cuts out and goes to a blue screen or a screen with colored bars. Two of these times, one at about three minutes in and then again at the end of the footage, footage from television are played. The first is a scene from "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" and later is the AT&T logo, a McDonald's commercial, and a preview for a miniseries titled "The Last Days of Pompeii" that is voiced-over with a news announcement. The main piece though is made up of various takes and clips that went into making the Italians in Texas film.

Galleria Italiana! - Italian Fornights - Neiman-Marcus advertisement for glassware. The advertisement reads, "Bursting forth in our Galleries, a volcanic eruption of Italy and its arts and crafts. From the most northern hill provinces, to the coastal towns of the south we've brought a myriad of items to transform our loggia into a shopper's paradise. The incomparable glass of Venice, shown, is but the beginning. Baskets, burlap crafts and mother-of-pearl from Sardinia. From Capacci and Lucerni, one-of-a-kind ceramics. An unprecedented collection of enamelware from De Poli (including a giant-size and fabulous rooster!). Table lace and linens from Venice. Florentine silver, Rosa Antica, a fine Italian earthenware made just for our Fornights. Sicilian puppets. Venetian crystals. Sicilian wood carvings. And more. All are evidence that under our one roof is the greatest assemblage of Italian goods, ever, in the Southwest. So we say, benvenuto and good shopping during our great Italian Fornights. At Preston Center, or Galleria Italiana, fourth floor, downtown. Neiman-Marcus."
