IIW - Episode 71 - Chris Vaccaro

Italian Impact Weekly Podcast

This week I am joined by Chris Vaccaro. Chris is a journalist, an author of 10 books, a professor, a two-time Emmy Award winner and nine-time Edward R. Murrow Award winner. In this episode, we discuss the importance of Italian culture and how Chris rediscovered his roots and made it a priority to instill those Italian values he learned growing up into his children. We also discuss how The Italian American Baseball Foundation (IABF), of which Chris is a board trustee, is helping to grow the sport of baseball in Italy. This is a wonderful episode that really answers the question, why is understanding Italian culture so important? Lastly, Chris is the Executive Director of the Italian American Heritage Society of Long Island.
