Native New Yorker LindaAnn Loschiavo has presented programs on the folk culture of southern Italy and Sicily in Manhattan venues such as the American Museum of Natural History, The Harvard Club, and The Players Club, where “Ninu Murina” came alive on stage on February 11, 2003. Her nonfiction work “Return of the Native to Stromboli” was reprinted by nine different publications last year; a bilingual excerpt appears online at www.CyberItalian.com [Galleria section]. With a paternal grandfather from Stromboli and a maternal grandfather from Naples, she is descended from volcano dwellers on both sides.
