NONNO TELL US A STORY IS A DELIGHTFUL MEMOIR OF A YOUNG BOY'S LIFE BEGUN IN THE POSTWAR MOLISE REGION OF ITALYAND TRANSFORMED WHEN HE IMMIGRATES TO THE UNITED STATES JUST AS HE REACHES ADOLESCENCE. REAL LIFE EPISODES, FROM THE TOWN OF PAGLIARONE TO THE CITY OF DENVER, ARE SET AGAINST A BACKDROP OF ITALY'S HISTORY, ART, FOLKLORE, AND SPORTS WORLD. OFTEN POIGNANT AND MORE OFTEN HUMOUROUS, THIS PORTRAIT OF FAMILY LOVE THROUGHOUT ITS STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES IN TWO WORLDS IS AS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BOOKS OF THIS TYPE AS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WRITE ABOUT THEM. IF YOU LOVE ITALIAN AS WELL AS ITALIAN-AMERICAN CULTURE, THIS IS A MUST READ THAT WILL BE HARD TO PUT DOWN.

Lombardi, Pietrantonio: - Where many writers would begin with a list ot their previous works, this author confesses to having penned only this book! Pietrantonio lives in Golden, Colorado with his wife Jackie where they love to entertain family and friends, whether with games of bocce on their court or in the kitchen with savory meals and lively conversations. At the age of 65, he still plays soccer and loves to watch all of his 7 grandchildren play the game that he grew up with and loves. Summer days are spent tending to his vegetable garden while keeping on eye on his chickens as they and other critters try to invade his Garden of Eden.
