The Italian Americans, narrated by acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, explores the evolution of Italian Americans from the late 19th Century to today, from “outsiders” once viewed with suspicion and mistrust, to some of the most prominent leaders of business, politics and the arts today. Award-winning writer/producer John Maggio (Billy The Kid, Boy in the Bubble) presents in the two-part, four-hour series a portrait of Italian American life that includes interviews with Tony Bennett, John Turturro, Gay Talese, Representative Nancy Pelosi and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, among others. The Italian Americans peels away myths and stereotypes to reveal a world uniquely Italian and uniquely American.
The Italian Americans premieres Tuesday, February 17 & 24, 2015, 9-11p.m. ET on PBS stations nationwide.
