Angelina Napolitano
Angelina Napolitano or Angelina Neapolitano (1882-1932) was an immigrant to Canada who murdered her abusive husband in 1911, igniting a public debate about domestic violence and the death penalty.〔''Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online'': Angelina Napolitano. By Franca Iacovetta. University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2004. (page accessed June 2008 )〕〔Platinum Image Film press release ''New Film About Italian Immigrant'', March 13, 2006.

==Early life and marriage==
Angelina was born in Italy in about 1883, probably in a small town not too far from Naples.〔 Her family name is not known. She married Pietro Napolitano about 1898 and the couple emigrated to America shortly after the turn of the century.〔 They lived in New York City for seven years and moved to Canada in 1909 – first to Thessalon, Ontario, then to Sault Ste. Marie,〔 where there was a sizable Italian immigrant community.〔(Statistics Canada: Selected Ethnic Origins, Sault Ste. Marie ) accessed June, 2008〕 The couple had four children.〔〔
The Napolitano marriage was violent; Pietro beat and threatened his wife.〔 In November 1910, he attacked her with a pocket knife, wounding her nine times in the face, neck, shoulder, chest and arms and leaving scars.〔〔 He was charged with assault, but received a suspended sentence.〔
