IAP 32: Tragedy inspires the trip of a lifetime for Cassandra Santoro

In this episode of The Italian American Podcast, we speak with Cassandra Santoro, who decided to take a big risk in the face of tragedy and, by doing so, changed her life for the better. Santoro tells the story of how the deaths of both her father and grandfather inspired her to take a risk and move to Italy at the age of nineteen to learn about her heritage.  She talks about how rewarding her journey to Italy was and how it ultimately led to what she is doing today. In our Italian American Stories Segment, we talk to Linda Mulé, Queen of the Order of The Sons of Italy Association for Nassau County, about the importance of engaging young Italian Americans and inspiring them to learn about their heritage.
