"La Festa: Italian Festivals in America" Photo Book by Robert Forlini Now Available

You don't have to be Italian to love a feast! I have just published the long awaited book of images from my Italian-American Festivals series entitled La Festa: Italian Festivals in America. It is 44 pages and contains 41 black and white and color photographs, many of which have not been previously seen in exhibitions or on my website. I feel that these pictures really capture the spirit and "Italian-ness" of the Festa. It's just like being at the Feast except without the sausage and peppers! You will enjoy returning to its pages again and again. It is beautifully printed and available softcover for $31.95 and hardbound with image cover for $44.95. Preview and purchase directly online from Blurb Books at the link below:
