In this special bonus episode of Italian American Stories, I sit down with director Valentina Signorelli and Italian musicians Luca Chiappara and Mario Monterosso to talk about their new documentary Mamma, That’s All Right , which just debuted at the National Italian American Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C. 🇮🇹🇺🇸

The film follows Luca and Mario from Italy to the American South, where they chase their version of the American Dream through music, friendship, and identity with a special cameo by Priscilla Presley. 🎶

As Mario beautifully says, “My family gave me my roots but rock and roll gave me my wings.”
