What if your family's immigration story bypassed the iconic Ellis Island, heading straight to the sunny shores of San Diego? Join us as we sit down with Tom Cesarini, founder of Convivio, who uncovers his rich Sicilian heritage and shares his family's unique journey to America. From working in a macaroni factory to establishing a vibrant enclave in Little Italy, Tom's memories paint a vivid picture of the immigrant experience, filled with both challenges and triumphs.
Explore the intricate world of dual citizenship and family heritage, as we reflect on our grandparents’ nostalgic lives in small Italian towns. Discover why more people are moving back to Italy and the legal processes involved in obtaining dual citizenship. We emphasize the benefits this holds for future generations, such as affordable education and healthcare in the EU, and the importance of preserving our roots.
Finally, immerse yourself in the efforts to preserve Italian heritage in San Diego. Learn about the creation and evolution of Convivio, its cultural programs, digital archives, and exciting plans for a larger cultural center and museum. Hear about key figures like John Mangiapane, who contribute through film and oral history projects, and find out how you can connect with Convivio Society to support the Italian community in Southern California and beyond.

Turn key. The only thing you’ll lift are your spirits.

Take away the stress of traveling to Italy. Phiítaly organizes AND guides you on the ground to unique, on and off the beaten path experiences. Most tours are 8 days and 7 nights just waiting for you to add your unique presence to your next adventure!
