Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Design Detroit, the event was free and open to guests, offering a chance to connect more deeply with Italian heritage, language, and identity.
The evening featured a presentation and book signing by Daniela D’Amico Henderson of La Masseria. The novel was introduced in Italian and English to ensure accessibility for a diverse audience. Attendees discovered the book’s rich Italian roots and cultural resonance while learning about Henderson’s journey. Raised amid the Roman countryside’s beauty and now a resident of Detroit, Henderson weaves her experiences as a teacher, traveler, and dedicated volunteer at the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan as vice president into her writing, enlivening her narratives with authenticity and cultural insight.
Thank you, Helga, for the excellent presentation of @macchiesantamaria Greco di Tufo!
