Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Alessio Della Valle

Life + Art = Chaos, or so says Italian film director, writer, and inventor, Alessio Della Valle, joining us on our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast.

Alessio is in Los Angeles to talks about his new film, “American Night,” a favorite at the Venice Film Featival and getting early Oscar buzz here in Hollywood. In fact, he’s visiting Los Angeles from Florence to discuss his film, a thriller that explores the dark underworld of pop and modern art.

“American Night” has some extraordinary features, such as an original Warhol “Pink Marilyn,” in addition to a Jeff Koons, and other extraordinary works of art from around the world. We speak with this gifted director about the artistry of filmmaking, how he got his start in Italy, and quickly got notice from around the world, particularly in the U.S.

Alessio also about how his Italian upbringing influenced his art, and talks about navigating the world of filmmaking in Hollywood, which is a very different scene from Italy.

Aging. It doesn’t have to be something to dread, rather it’s something to embrace, so please join me in welcoming #ConnieZweig, discussing her latest book, “The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from ROLE to SOUL.”

Connie incorporates teachings from what she calls “divine messengers,” including Buddha, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Kirtan Chant Leader Krishna Das, and others, and she talks about how to embrace illness, retirement, living in the present, to embracing new relationships as we age.

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Natosha Fortini

Applying for dual citizenship can be daunting, and on our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, we welcome Natosha Fortini, founder of Italian Citizenship DIY, who breaks it all down to make the process easier.

If you’ve ever tried to apply for Italian citizenship, and the rules can seem confusing, depending on when your relative first became a U.S. citizen. And often, people throw up their hands in frustration. But no more. Natosha has streamlined the process, answering every possible question you might have, and providing you with each step so you can get it done on your own, without forking out a fortune to do it. So many questions such as should I go through my maternal or paternal side, does it matter what year my family member became a citizen, etc. The questions seem daunting, until now.

Natosha said her own journey to becoming an Italian citizen was so confusing, that she decided to start Italian Citizenship DIY, providing everything you need to know from agencies here and in Italy, what paperwork is needed, and any other question you might have in an often confusing process, with results.
