For the third time, Michael Di Lauro has brought one of his interesting documentaries to St. Louis for viewing. The documentaries have been shown at the Missouri History Museum, once at Rose of the Hill and this time at the Browning Hall Auditorium at Webster University on February 2.

This last time, he was sponsored by CIAO St. Louis and the Webster University. The film shown that night was La Mia Strada (My Road), the touching story of a comparison of ancient and modern Italian life with its Italian-American counterparts. Using the historic shepherd trails (tratturi) as reality and metaphor, Di Lauro demonstrates how culture and identity are transmitted from generation to generation in spite of physical separation in a world in constant change.
