The New Rochelle Public Library will present two special programs for Italian Heritage and Culture Month. "The Calitrani Immigrants of America" will be the topic of a free talk by historian Mario Toglia on Saturday, October 4th at 2:00 pm. Mr. Toglia is the author of a book on the immigrants from Calitri, a province of Avellino, Italy, which was the result of his personal quest to discover his ancestors.
He encourages the audience to become involved in the discovery of the facts relating to their own family's immigrant history and stresses the importance of keeping the legacy alive and recording the historical chain of events for the generations that follow.
