Raising Bilingual Bambini: talk with author Eric Dregni.

A cultural program inspired by Eric Dregni's memoir and travelogue "Raising Bilingual Bambini." The author tells how, after three years in Modena, Italy, with his wife Katy, he returned to Minnesota and raised their three children bilingually by pretending he had forgotten how to speak English, later sending the children to Italian school in Florence. Blending humor, sincerity, and cultural discovery, it is a story about family, language, and finding a sense of home, including a later trip to Sicily.
