Welcome back to the Villa Fortuna! Today we’re opening up the villa doors with a conversation with Dr. Gina Miele on her new book Italian Folklore: Rituals, Celebrations, and Ancient Traditions!


Dr. Miele takes us through her research, her own story of reconnection to her families Italian folk practices, why keeping our traditions, superstitions and mysticism is so important, how Italians and Italian Americans view saints and the importance of women as healers in the community in both past, present and future.


I hope you enjoy her work and this conversation with Dr. Gina as much as I did and please consider supporting her work! You can pre-order her book Italian Folklore: Rituals, Celebrations, and Ancient Traditions here:
