Nico sit's down with William Castello, a member of the board of the Garibaldi Meucci Museum to talk all things, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Antonio Meucci. Owned by the Order Sons of Italy, the Garibaldi - Meucci Museum was the home of the inventor of the telephone, Antonio Meucci. (We talk about why he's doesn't have the official credit) and at one point in time the unifier of Italy, Giuseppe Garibaldi lived here with him. We talk about both men's history along with the Museum's history and how the Order of Sons of Italy acquired it.
