Nonno, Tell us a Story by Pietrantonio Lombardi is a delightful memoir of a young boy’s life begun in the postwar Molise region of Italy and transformed when he immigrates to the United States just as he reaches adolescence. Real life episodes, from the town of Pagliarone/Villa San Michele to the city of Denver, are set against a backdrop of Italy’s history, art, folklore, and sports world. Often poignant and more often humorous, this portrait of family love throughout its struggles and successes in two worlds is as different from other books of this type as are the people who live and write about them. If you love Italian as well as Italian- American culture, this is a must read that will be hard to put down.
