Introduction (Cont.)

    We believe that it is essential for individuals with an Italian background to recognize the contributions of their ancestors and to pass on a sense of Italian pride to their children and grandchildren. We hope this book - a combination tour guide, cookbook, historical and biographical synopsis, and philosophical primer on all things Italian - will help you to do just that.

    To read some sample chapters, click on the menu items above or below, and choose a hyperlinked chapter title. If you enjoy what you read, you may purchase the print version, the e-book, or a selection of other essential Italian books.

    We also encourage visitors to share your pride with others by signing the guestbook.
