Dianne Hales will present her new book La Passione - How Italy Seduced the World, a lyrical portrait of a spirit as well as a nation that appeals to the Italian in all our souls, inspiring us to be as daring as Italy’s gladiators, as eloquent as its poets, as alluring as its beauties and as irresistible as its lovers. Copies of the book will be available for purchase the day of the event.
