In this episode of The Italian American Podcast, we talk with Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean of the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute (Queens College, CUNY) and Distinguished Professor of European Languages and Literatures.

Tamburri dives into his career and what inspired him to pursue Italian and Italian American studies, and why he feels that we as Italian Americans need to read about our past. In our Stories Segment, one of our listeners, Marisa Mansueto, tells the story of how she was able to give her dad one thing he desired most in life, via one email to an Italian Commune.
