Books with author Laurence Amholt

This work is a compilation of short articles about Italians, and Italian Americans. I was a member of an Italian American Club, and wrote a monthly article regarding the Italian experience for fourteen years. The purpose of this publication is an attempt to provide those of Italian heritage and those who may be interested the many varied aspects of the Italian Culture, interesting anecdotes of: persons, places, events, and things, as they relate to the Italian and Italian American experience. At present the articles contained herein I also post on a weekly basis on Facebook, under the name of https://www.facebook.com/EverythingItaliano/. The articles in this work and on Facebook are free to use. I simply ask that if any article is used in a newsletter or magazine that the source be identified. Volume II is in the making.
