The CIAO DMV! Podcast: Italian-American Life in the DMV

This week on CIAO DMV, I continue my conversation with Dan DeLuca – writer, actor and producer.  The conversation shifts to his filmography, such as working with well know actors and actresses – and some of them might surprise you.  In addition, we discuss:

Although Dan DeLuca was born in the US, he was raised in Italy.  We discuss his heritage, growing up in Italy, traditions kept, and how he got into acting and writing. One thing you will notice, he does not have an Italian accent.  You will just have to listen to the episode to find out why.

This is the first of a two part episode with Anthony Cancelosi.  He grew up in South Philly as part of a close knit Italian family and would eventually lead several worldwide multi-million dollar IT organizations.  However, he never forgot how important it is to help others, including role playing one of our most beloved childhood figures.

Not long ago, I interviewed Tiziana Barrow, the founder of SaferShift.  SaferShift is a company dedicated to turning cybersecurity form a once-a-year compliance checkbox into the kind of habit employees and clients actually internalize.

However, this is not simply a company/process interview, it is the story of constantly learning, working hard and seizing the opportunity when presented.

This final episode is actually comprised of three separate interviews: (1) life after CUA and the publications which he feels made the most impact upon his field of study; (2) his work on researching the life of John Volpe; and (3) the honors bestowed upon him.  Dr. Damiani is a former Professor of Romance Languages and Literature, specializing in the Spanish and Italian Renaissance, who taught at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
