BOOKS & BISCOTTI

The Books & Biscotti literary series began to honour the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unity in 2011 and events have been held in cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and New York City.

The Vaughan event happens at Chapters, 3900 Hwy. 7 West, Unit 1 on June 23 and 24 between 12 noon and 4 p.m.

Ms Rizzuto, along with other writers such as Bruna Bertoni and Geronimo Stilton, will the at the event both days to discuss their work.

If you ask Cristina Rizzuto where she loves to shop, she will tell you it’s her local bookstore.
“I could do without clothes. I’ll go secondhand or vintage shopping, but Chapters is, literally, my favourite store,” she says.
So, it is fitting that Ms Rizzuto’s first book signing will be at Chapters’ Woodbridge location, just minutes away from her home.
This weekend’s event, titled Books and Biscotti, celebrates Italian-Canadian writers. It is organized by the Association of Italian Canadian Writers in collaboration with the National Congress of Italian Canadians and Accenti Magazine.  Read more::
