I'm a Humanities professor at Berkeley City College. I write abt Italian migration/transnational/diaspora topics, film, material culture, vernacular culture, monuments, Gramsci, POWs and more.

Anti-fascist, pro-the-people, through and through.
Yes of course I figured 😊 - here’s a good piece @npr.org ran Friday in case you / others missed it www.npr.org/2025/09/12/n...
