Recently Announced 📣 #MadeLocal with Anna Monardo Thursday, May 23 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall 📚 After Italy: A Family Memoir of Arranged Marriage is the story of two marriages undone by a dowry and the fallout from that rift on three generations of a Southern Italian family. Enlisting Calabrian folklore, epigenetics, and psychology, Monardo charts her grandfathers’ immigration to a Pittsburgh steel town; her father’s wartime as a medical student in Naples; the family’s marriages—including her own—that were tainted by an Old World curse; and an unlikely path to international adoption. Save your seat! pghartslectures 🔗 Thank you to the Heinz historycenter Italian American Program and Sons & Daughters of Italy Primo Italiano Lodge 2800 for supporting this event. #ReadersOfInstagram #AuthorsOfInstagram #PittsburghAuthor #PGHcreative #MadeinPGH #LovePGH #412Project #ThingsToDoInPittsburgh #WhatToDo412 #PittsburghLife
