It was a great turnout for my lecture and book signing this past Sunday, February 16, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware! This event was hosted by Friends of Italian Culture and was at Downes Cultural Center at Ingleside.
The lecture centered on the events leading up to World War 2 regarding immigration and assimilation that are covered in “L’America”. Also discussed was the screenplay I had written for the documentary, Prisoner’s Among Us. It is always rewarding to speak with the attendees afterward.
Many Italian immigrants sought the familiarity of their customs and trades as they eventually settled in America in the early 1900’s. Tailors found their way to New York City; stone cutters made their way to the Midwest and fishermen found comfort and labor along the West Coast.

I’m very blessed to have so many readers enjoying the book. Ten years of research and passion have yielded a novel of historical fiction that is laced with our ancestors’ history…..and we all owe our families not just a debt of gratitude for what they endured, but a clear understanding of how they made a way for each of us in L’America.
