Italian-American Heritage Month Event from author Jennifer Anton:
Amici!
Tonight is a very special evening for me, and I'd love for you to be part of it, wherever you are in the world!
One war, two Italian stories
I'll be joining fellow historical fiction author Laura Morelli at the New York Public Library for a conversation titled Translating Memory, War, and Italian Identity, celebrating Italian Heritage Month.
Presented in collaboration with the National Organization of Italian American Women (NOIAW), this special event celebrates the stories, strength, and enduring legacy of Italian women across generations.
Together, we'll explore how family memories become stories, the experiences of Italian women during World War II, and the importance of preserving the voices of generations who came before us.
As many of you know, Under the Light of the Italian Moon was inspired by my own family's history in northern Italy. Having the opportunity to share these women's stories at the New York Public Library is a particularly meaningful milestone.
And the wonderful news is that you can join us in person or watch live online!
📅 Tonight, Friday, October 9
🕕 6:00 PM New York | 11:00 PM London | Midnight in Italy
📍 Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, 455 Fifth Avenue, New York City, 7th Floor

Our conversation will be moderated by Lisa Ackerman, and we'll have an audience Q&A followed by a book signing.
Whether you've followed my writing journey from the beginning or have only recently discovered Nina's story, I'd be delighted to have you join us.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping keep these stories alive.
Cento baci!
Jennifer
