Visiting Author to share Italian Culture!
Must-see program if you have a romance with Italy or are planning a trip there!
The Lancaster Italian Cultural Society is pleased to host writer and avid traveler, Robert James Connors, author of Romancing Through Italy at the Manheim Township Public Library, 595 Granite Run Road, Lancaster, PA 17601 on Tuesday, July 3 at 5:30 pm. The event, which is part of the author’s national speaking tour, is free and open to the public.
The pervasive effect of Italian culture on our modern world, as well as the attractions Italy offers to visitors, will be highlighted during this program. Millions of Italian immigrants helped to shape American culture, and today more than 17 million self-identify as Italian-Americans.
Connors is a frequent public speaker and the author of Romancing Through Italy, an 
intimate account of his twenty years spent exploring that Mediterranean nation. His Italian visits over the years have certainly created a romance with Italy, he states “Italy is both the cradle and nursemaid of Western civilization. That small nation contributed the lion’s share of our culture.” How could that happen? Connors delights in sharing these clues with his audiences, “I enjoy meeting my readers, and sharing these remarkable stories—Italy is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, partly because of its enormous impact on our modern culture. The travel tips are free, too!”
