Cristiana Della’Anna, the actress who portrays Mother Cabrini in the upcoming biopic, Cabrini, visits with Sbarro Health Research Organization Founder and President Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD, and with Miguel Mostafá, Dean of the College of Science and Technology, at the Sbarro Institute for Cancer research at Temple University in Philadelphia on February 23, 2024.

The film, which depicts the immigrant nun who founded the Sisters of the Sacred Heart charity, premieres March 8. “Ms. Della’Anna is an outspoken advocate for cancer research and has been an enduring supporter of the work of our Sbarro Institute both in the US and Italy,” says Giordano. “Ms. Della’Anna hails from Napoli, my home town and that of millions who were part of the Italian Diaspora, which makes her visit all the more significant for us.”
