Book Talk featuring Anthony V. Riccio, author of: "Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut"

The Amity and Woodbridge Historical Society will host author Anthony V. Riccio author of "Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut"

This captivating book is the story of Italian American women who tell their largely unknown history in their own words, through oral history interviews and photographs. As quiet heroic figures, they stood behind husbands and managed the family economy, invested in real estate, put aside money for their children's education, cooked meals, nurtured large families and joined men on production lines and more than held their own.

Please join us on Sunday, May 18th, 2014 from 2-4pm at The Willows (225 Amity Road in Woodbridge, CT) to hear Anthony speak about his book, and meet some of the profiled women's families. Mr. Riccio will also be available for book signing. The event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. Please Join Us!
