On this week's Little Italy of Los Angeles podcast, Deborah Zara Kobylt talks with, beloved actor Michael Cavalieri, who wrote and directed his latest film, Ritornato, which tells the emotional story of a man who loses his loved ones, and sets off on a journey to revisit his past and fulfill a promise made to his dying mother. The film is shot in Sicily, and was recently chosen for a grant by the National Italian American Foundation. Based on true events, Ritornato is dedicated to Cavalieri's mother, Mary, and his Grandpa Agatino, who sacrificed to give their family a better life. He hopes his film inspires other Italian Americans to write and share their stories. We will also talk with Michael about his esteemed acting career in film and television, including The Sopranos, The Next Karate Kid and more.
