"A relentlessly fast-paced and exciting read! I wept at broken glass, broken spirits, breaking hearts, as my own heart swelled with reverence for Mario’s inspirational words."

I haven't advertised this book much. But it's a journey we all take.

“New Men is an arresting, raw, and sometimes alarming story, the tender and engaging relationships between endearing characters make it hard to put down.”

“Dell'Ollio has a gift for framing this powerful story of love and personal discovery. Keeps the reader guessing throughout. A moving narrative that tells the story of sexual awakening.”

In a word, virtuosic. A raw, profound, vulnerable excavation of grief. Emotionally intimate and psychologically visceral. A powerful, unforgettable experience. Vital and stunning, a miracle in a book.

Dr. Dell'Olio has constructed a masterful work of love and memory that reaches into our collective immigrant souls and touches powerful themes of love, commitment and sacrifice.

“An immersive journey of love spanning decades, Letters from Italy is an inspiring tale of tenacity and commitment. Dell'Olio's descriptions of southern Italy and the immigrant experience carry the reader back in time. One of the best reads of the year!”
