His talk focuses on Naples and the Amalfi Coast-the Horizons and the Colors of Identity. He will present his paintings and his personal history from his father Joseph Papaleo's writing of the Italian American experience to the development of his own paintings and his interviews with the new immigrants coming to Italy. Southern Italy's complexity as a land of myth, landscape, struggle and transformation will be explored through his painting.
