I'm interested in what that looked like on the small scale, not the national scale. #litchat

I want to get it as small as possible, so I can go in depth. #litchat

Good question! I--- #litchat

--think I learned how much I didn't know about the US/Italy relationship when I lived there, so I learned how willfully ignorant I- #litchat

was. I wish I had paid more attention while I was there, but I was in my 20s and I was dazzled by the scenery, the food... #litchat

... so I didn't ask a lot of questions about the past. Also, in the 1980s the war and post-war era was still surprisingly fresh and #litchat

people didn't always want to talk about it. So I learned that I need to ask more questions! #litchat

True, but still. I thought politics weren't for me, but really they're for all of us. History too. #litchat

We have an obligation to know our history, I think. #litchat

Thank you! This was fun and way less scary than I thought it would be! #litchat

Thank you so much for having me, for your great questions, and for reading The Italian Party! #litchat

And for supporting books and authors! #litchat

Thank you! #litchat
