I had the honor and privilege to meet Anthony V. Riccio in 2021. I cold called him to do an interview for my podcast and he was gracious enough to accept. After that we became good friends and worked on publishing some of his taped interviews from the 1970’s and 1980’s. A few months ago he began mentoring me on the book that I am writing about my family.
If you do not know about Anthony, he was a passionate person that loved all things Italian and Italian-American. His love and passion is clear in his many interviews and books.
Anthony passed away suddenly on January 17th, 2022. RIP my friend, you will be missed by millions of Italian-Americans.
