FILEF and Leichhardt Municipal Library invite you to the launch of Carmela (Carmen) Lavezzari’s autobiography “Memoirs of a Person of Interest”,
Thursday 27 November at 6.30 pm at the Library (Italian Forum Square).
Her memories, written in Italian with the editorial assistance of Gianfranco Cresciani, are accompanied with the English version translated by Claudio Marcello.
The book will be launched, at the presence of the author, by Cresciani himself – well known historian of the Italian communities in Australia
– who described it as “a powerful narrative documenting the vicissitudes of a “common”, yet extraordinary woman, at a troubled time in the history of our country”.
