This part of Providence is best known for its Italian American community and their incredible Italian restaurants. The gateway arch over Atwells Avenue is famous for the La Pigna (or the Pinecone) hanging from the center of the arch. It is an Italian symbol of welcome, abundance and quality. It is often mistaken as “The Pineapple “and is the symbol of Federal Hill DePasquale Plaza is a popular spot for indoor and outdoor dining. The plaza features a central grand fountain surrounded by restaurants. Federal Hill received its name after a 1788 Fourth of July ox roast intended to celebrate the ratification of the Federal Constitution needed to create the United States. Because the anti-federalist’s sentiment was strong in RI there was a compromise to celebrate Independence Day but not ratify the Federal Constitution. Two years later Rhode Island became the last of the Thirteen states to join the union. Federal Hill’s Atwells Avenue was named for Amos Maine Atwell who led a syndicate of businessmen developing the western areas of Providence in 1788. Initially Federal Hill was populated by mostly Irish and Italian immigrants and during the beginning of the 20th century mostly Italian immigrants, so it became known as little Italy. In 1954 the Patriarca crime family moved their base of operations from Boston to Federal Hill until 1984. The family members called it” the Office”.
