Local business leader and former city councillor Frank Pullia, who is from Lamezia, Calabria, will be on camera interviewing many of the Italians to capture their stories of immigration and their love of everything Italian. “This live streaming over the Internet is for the youth who are the future of our Italian society” said Pullia. “They are all connected to the Internet these days using their iPhones, mobiles & smart phones. “ Live Stream, FaceBook , Google & You Tube.

Italians Love FaceBook, YouTube & Google
