The Wakefield Sons (and Daughters) of Italy will host a free screening of “Boston’s North End: An Italian American Story” at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at Beebe Library, 345 Main St., Wakefield, to celebrate Italian Heritage Month. Following the film will be a Q&A with the producer, Boston University professor James Pasto; light refreshments will be served. One star of “Boston’s North End” is a neighborhood. The other star, however, is Stephen Passacantilli, who narrates and is featured in the film.

The Bostoniano published the following online: “The film is called ‘Boston’s North End: An Italian American Story.’ As the title indicates, it is not so much a documentary history as it is the story of some of the things that made the North End special: these include Sunday dinners, nicknames, street corners, Doo Wop, Tony De Marco and coach Dom Campochiaro.”
