review: Editorial Reviews Review "In his eminently practical and deeply passionate guide to visiting Italy and discovering his extended family, The Italian-American Podcast co-host Anthony Fasano details step-by-step how to research and retrace your ancestral roots. The fruits of his efforts affirm that we never truly leave the past behind, but rather our past shapes and informs the person we become." -- Maria Laurino, Author of The Italian Americans: A History "My own dream of Italy was fulfilled when I visited my ancestral hometown in southern Italy in the summer of 1995 by just showing up with some names of ancestors and a few pages copied out of a local phone book which I found at the Italian Tourism Board in New York City. "I wish there had been something like Anthony's book to guide me at the time. This is both a practical guide and a love letter to Italy and Italian-American culture. It makes the process less daunting. If you are even thinking about finding your Italian roots, get Anthony's book and make the trip--your life will be changed forever!" -- Kathy McCabe, Host, Dream of Italy on PBS About the Author Anthony Fasano is a proud Italian American whose family comes from both the regions of Campania and Sicilia. His professional background is in engineering, where he now provides career coaching for engineers.
