For several years, Greg has researched his family’s roots in Italy. In this episode, he presents some of what he has discovered, beginning with thoughts on the region’s troubled history, then focusing on the story of two brothers — grandfather Bruno, who emigrated to the US in 1902 and became a successful businessman, and his radical brother Lorenzo, an anti-fascist fighter who ultimately became mayor of Parenti, his hometown. He concludes with Lorenzo Lupia’s recollections of a May Day celebration in 1927, while confined with other political prisoners on a remote Italian island.
