This Thursday on The Italian Radio Hour: What does being Italian mean to you?Italians moving to the States now bring new traditions. Italians that have emigrated to the United States hundred years ago brought the traditions, the foods and the language of those times. So, even if the experience of being "Italian" might now differ, the sentiment remains the same: to preserve, to pass on, to appreciate everything that Italy and the Italian (and Italian American) culture has to offer.Keeping the conversation going and an open mind-set that transcends the idea of "real" and "authentic", is the only way to preserve this immense cultural and diverse patrimony.Joined in conversation by John Viola and Patrick O'Boyle, hosts of the Italian American Podcast, we discuss what it means to be Italian to us.If you recall, I was recently interviewed on The Italian American Podcast myself.
