The National Italian American Foundation has awarded Casa Italia a $2,500 grant to support Casa volunteer Olivia Greco’s initiative, Saving Italian American Stories. The grant request was written by fellow Casa volunteer Carla Simonini, co-founder of Passaggi d’Italia, LLC.
“The funds will help to develop the project’s digital presence and programming aimed at documenting, preserving and sharing Italian-American family histories and personal stories,” Simonini explains. “A portion of the grant will support our family history writing workshops, and help us expand outreach and encourage participation from a broader cross-section of the Italian-American community;”
