Viola Buitoni, a member of Italy’s famed Buitoni pasta-making family, is
a noted chef and expert on the history of Italian food. For IAHF, Viola
will present the historical and healthful aspects of the Mediterranean
diet and discuss the principle elements of the Italian larder now
available in California. As the mother of a six year-old, she knows
first hand how to cook meals that are quick, healthy, delicious and
ITALIAN--she’ll illustrate the many tasty variations that can be
inspired by these ingredients. Each evening, you will have the
opportunity to taste one of her creations, and you’ll bring home Viola’s
list of pantry items for future reference. Beverages will be available
for purchase.

In 2005, author Mark Leslie left his job as a theatrical producer and
moved to Italy to completely immerse himself in the Italian
way of life. Each day, "Nonna" showed him how to prepare age-old Italian
recipes while her daughter taught him colloquial Italian. The result is
the charming book Beyond the Pasta: Recipes, Language and Life with an
Italian Family. In this very special evening, Mark chats about the
recipes and experiences he shared with a kind-hearted and often dramatic
family, and their uniquely Italian way of looking at the world. We will
sample some of Mark’s Italian cookies and sweets, paired with a
sparkling dessert wine. Signed books will be available for purchase.

Una Storia Segreta 2 pm, Sunday, April 10, 2011 On Sunday, April 10th, the World War II secret story of the Italian-American evacuation and internment; known as "Una Storia Segreta"will be re-introduced in a public forum to be sponsored by the IAHF, which will discuss these unknown issues during this war time saga. California State Senator, Joe Simitian, prompted by his constituent, Chet Campanella, of San Jose, introduced State Resolution , SCR 95, which was later passed in August of 2010, that acknowledged the injustices suffered by thousands of Italian-Americans who were classified as enemy aliens. As a result of this, Chet's parents were subjected to curfew restrictions and had their home searched, without a search warrant being issued. Una Storia Segreta became public information in 1994, when the FBI released all of its secret files. Then in 2000, under President Bill Clinton, the U.S. Congress passed " The War Time Violation of Italian American Civil Liberties Act" which made apologies to all those affected Italian-Americans who were interned and treated unjustly. Also, in 1994 , Una Storia Segreta gained national headlines when all of the injustices suffered by Italian - Americans became public though the efforts of the Una Storia Segreta Project Exhibit which was displayed nationally by the efforts of the Historians of the American- Italian Historical Association, Western Region. The IAHF at this time, under the chairmanship of the then, John De Vincenzi and State Assemblyman Dominic, sponsored the first in a series of these forums to inform and educate the public of all of the above World War II injustices to Italian- Americans.
