Becoming Italian

Back in December 2020, I started a new research project on Instagram, @ItalianAtAGlance to curate and share some of the photographs, stories and reflections that I am exploring as I delve more deeply into my family history and identity, try to right the wrongs, and unearth some of what’s been lost to time and discover what it means to be “Italian.” I invite you to join me and share your own immigrant stories!
