I’m honored to have been published in the Fall 2017 issue of Ambassador Magazine (Vol. 29, No. 1), the official organ of the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF). My brief profile of HRH Princess Beatrice of Bourbon Two Sicilies, this year’s recipient of NIAF’s Special Achievement Award in Philanthropy, joins the triannual publication’s many fascinating features spotlighting Sicily and southern Italy, including an interview with Stephan Talty, author of The Black Hand: The Epic War Between a Brilliant Detective and the Deadliest Secret Society in American History, and our friend Karen Haid’s In His Blood, a look at Francis Marion Crawford and the coastal Calabrian town that inspired his vampiric tale, For the Blood is the Life. Thank you NIAF for publishing my article and promoting our Duesiciliano culture and heritage!
