Presented by Anthony Riccio

"From Italy to the North End" traces the story of Italian immigration from the small villages of Italy to everyday life in one of America's last intact Italian American neighborhood, Boston's North End.  Through the photographs of Anthony Riccio from 1972-1982 we see the places Italians left behind for a better life in America and the new life they created there.

This program is based on Spignesi's book The 100 Best Beatles Songs. The program covers and discusses the Top 10 songs in the book, counting down from #10 to #1. Here is the Top 10:

4. Yesterday

6. Hey Jude
7. In My Life

For each song, fascinating details are provided, including how and when it was written, what it means, who participated in the recording, why it's in the Top 10, its significance in the Beatles canon and much more. A brief excerpt of the song is played, and we also take a look at the lyrics and discuss them in the context of brilliant poetry.
 
Each attendee receives a tri-fold, signed, color, limited edition brochure listing the Top 100 songs. A Q&A follows the talk. Register online!
