Marianna Gatto |
|
Auguri to longtime NIAF member and supporter Marianna Gatto on the release of her new book "The Italian Americans of Los Angeles: A History". This vibrant narrative chronicles the Italian Americans of Los Angeles, a group that, although integral to every facet of the Southern California megalopolis for two centuries, have largely been overlooked in both local and Italian American histories.
