Adriana Trigiani with Sara DiVello

Adriana Trigiani is a beloved storyteller and New York Times bestselling author whose novels celebrate family, heritage, and the ties that bind us. In The View from Lake Como, she transports readers from where our protagonist begins, freshly divorced and living in her loving-but-oblivious parents’ basement in suburban New Jersey to the beauty of Italy, while exploring themes of self-discovery, love, and reinvention. She will be in conversation with author and festival co-chair Sara DiVello, discussing the inspiration behind her latest novel, her connection to Italian culture, and poignant, hilarious, and deeply heartfelt nature of her work.
