Breathing Life into Memories: Unlocking Italian Family Stories

Join us for a captivating conversation with Peggy Fucillo as we uncover the inspiration behind her book, which beautifully weaves together her Italian roots, North End upbringing, and her family’s rich immigration story. As Peggy prepares for her upcoming trip to Sicily in September, she passionately shares the importance of preserving family heritage through storytelling and encourages others to do the same.

We dive into the challenges of writing personal stories, discussing the process of gathering family tales, selecting topics, editing, and organizing the material. Peggy offers valuable insights on using photos and other visuals to breathe life into memories, as well as striking the right balance between joy and sorrow in storytelling. Additionally, we touch on the tricky task of obtaining permission to write about certain family members. Whether you’re looking to preserve your own family’s stories or simply enjoy a heartwarming discussion, this episode is not to be missed.
