East Boston Social Centers to host a book signing by author Dr. John Christoforo

John Christoforo has recently published a new book about life in East Boston in the 50’s and will be at the East Boston Social Centers on Wednesday December 20th at 11am to talk about his book and sign copies for anyone wanting to purchase the book for $20 each.

The East Boston Social Centers will be celebrating 100 years of service to our community in 2018 and welcomes all who would like to share their memories throughout the years.

Dr. Christoforo has been writing for the Post-Gazette since 1991. His column, “Nanna and Babbononno,” is the depiction of the trials and tribulations of the generations of his Italian family in America. The weekly stories depict events he has experienced or stories he has heard from family elders, and is a cross section of Italian American life as experienced by the millions of people whose past generations decided on the United States as a place to live. A master storyteller, John captivates audiences weekly throughout the United States with his column.

John’s book is about growing up in East Boston – “True Short Stories, Boston English High – Ruminations of a 1956 Grad who got away with just about everything!”
