Folktale from Italy Rated PG
Presented by SIAMO NEPA
Directed by Stephanie Longo
“C’era una volta” is a selection from a collection of folktales that were archived by folklorists at the Centro di Documentazione della Tradizione Orale (Center of Documentation of Oral Traditions) in Turin, Italy. These folktales were taken from interviews with “anziani”, elderly citizens known as the keepers and guardians of the town’s history. Many of the “anziani” interviewed for this project lived during the eras of immigration and the Second World War. SIAMO has also received a collection of folktales from Scranton’s sister city, Guardia dei Lombardi. All the folktales translated have never been publicly told in the United States
