Born in New Jersey to an Italian American family, journalist and writer Maria Laurino has published several books about the identity and experience of Italian immigrants and their descendants in the U.S. (most notably the companion volume to theThe Italian Americans, the PBS documentary series directed by John Maggio), with specific attention to the female perspective.
On March 25th, she was a guest on our campus to present her latest book in conversation with Dr. Erica Moretti (FIT) and Dr. Teresa Fiore (Inserra Chair) along with an introduction by Mark Rotella (Coccia Institute Director).
