This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Today, I have the joy of welcoming someone whose presence is as vibrant as her memories—Mary Ferro. A beloved music teacher, performer, and storyteller at heart, Mary is also the author of the newly published memoir From Calabria to Carnegie, Music for Bread.
With deep roots in Pittsburgh’s Italian-American community, Mary’s life has been shaped by song, tradition, and the incredible women who came before her. She once danced with the folk group I Campagnoli and has spent her life nurturing the power of music—not just as an art, but as a connection to heritage. She’ll be presenting her book at the Heinz History Center on May 22nd, and we’re lucky to get a preview of the passion and heart behind the pages today.The book "From Calabria to Carnegie" is available on Amazon.https://a.co/d/dGpwR4UTo register for the event at the Heinz History Center on May 22nd at 6pm here is the link: https://www.heinzhistorycenter.org/event/from-calabria-to-carnegie-music-for-bread/
