This week on The Italian Radio Hour we caught up with Marianna Gatto, Founder and Executive Director of the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles. IAMLA has just presented the twelfth annual Taste of Italy, an upscale food and wine festival that has drawn crowds from all over the United States, and Italy. As IAMLA is getting ready to present their new exhibition, “Louis Prima: Rediscovering a Musical Icon,” we were fortunate enough to see some of the key pieces of exiting exhibit of Pinocchio. in collaboration with the Gia Maione Prima Foundation, the Louis Prima (1910 to 1978) exhibit explores the legacy of an extremely skilled jazzman, a songwriter and performer whose music is still found in film and television, TikTok videos, Disney tunes, and hit covers by contemporary artists.
