Did you grow up as a typical "American kid", but were also raised in an Italian-American household?If so, do you feel a little "less Italian" than your parents? And maybe even more so than your grandparents? If the answers to these questions are a resounding "yes", you are not alone. Nearly all Americans have a journey in their family's past that brought them to this country and allowed for them to become that "typical American kid". Whether your family's roots originate and trace back to Italy, Ireland, France, Germany ... whichever the country and culture, the story is the same. With each generation, a little bit of that heritage seems to slip away. This realization is the principal theme inherent in author, Michael Sorabella's book, Forza!, A Tribute To a 1970's Italian-American Upbringing. The book, which is inspired by real-life-events, reflects upon a multi-generational Italian-American upbringing during the 1970s.Those real-life events take place over one of the most celebrated periods of national pride in American history, the nation's Bicentennial weekend in 1976. Those days were seemingly soaked in nostalgia and Forza! brings you back in time, allowing you to contrast and appreciate how three generations of family members and neighbors experienced America's historic birthday celebration. These varied experiences of three generations of family and friends will entertain you as they collectively pursue their versions of the American Dream. And through these contrasted generational encounters, the story highlights the deep and lasting relationships that were formed in neighborhoods during this era of the 1970's. The unwavering message of Forza! is one of gratitude and appreciation. It's a fun look back at simpler times that also emphasizes the importance of family and community. So, if you miss those big family gatherings for Sunday sauce each weekend, you will certainly enjoy reading Forza!
