Recommended Book – THE GREATEST GIFT FROM SICILY – THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DONNA BRIGITA Author: John C. Zappia I am a local author in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area. Both of my parents were born in Italy (Sicily and Avellino). I have written and published a book and would like to know if you are interested in purchasing or recommending my book to others who may be interested. It’s a very interesting and educational book about my grandmother, Brigita(Felice) Zappia – Donna Brigita. Great for a gift. Great also as a format for anyone who wishes to write a book about a family history. Below is a description of the book. The book is currently available for purchase on www.amazon.com , www.barnesandnoble.com and many other on-line retailers $12.95. You can see my biography on the back of the book on the amazon website. THE GREATEST GIFT FROM SICILY -THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DONNA BRIGITA- A non-fiction epic of a courageous single mother who emigrated from Sicily to fulfill her dreams of living in a land of freedom and opportunity – America. A personal and historical account of the pains, joy and adventure experienced by this mother from the time she left Sicily in 1905 until her death in America in 1950. Memories of influential people, famous places, family traditions and authentic southern Italian foods and recipes, growing up in an Italian Paradise called Little Italy (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Larimer Avenue) in the early 1900’s. A book to be enjoyed by anyone who had an ancestor who emigrated from Europe in the early 1900’s. Thank You For Your Interest, John C. Zappia
