“The Early Italian Families in Stirling” An illustrated talk by Michael Gainnadrea. Michael traces the arrival of the first Italians in Stirling as they worked hard to set up in business while integrating with the local community.

This will be followed by a short talk by author Carmen Squillante, brought up in an Irish-Italian family on Long Island and now living locally. “Flotsam is the Stuff that Floats” is her debut novel, a compelling story about the dynamics of an Italian family living in an American coastal community.”
