This episode is truly special!
Samantha Ferro welcomes internationally acclaimed Italian-American painter Marco Sassone, whose memoir American Journey: My Life in Art captures a lifetime of creativity, resilience, and self-discovery.
Marco shares powerful reflections on his artistic journey — from post-war Florence to California, and later to Canada — painting humanity, emotion, and truth with every brushstroke.

We also visit L’Angolo della Lingua Italiana with Vania, celebrating the beauty of the Italian language, and Alex Lopez brings us the latest 49ers update, including NFL Draft buzz, Local Pro Day highlights, and news of an upcoming docuseries on the legendary "Team of the Eighties."

Art, culture, passion, and sports — all in one inspiring episode. Stay tuned and celebrate the journey with us!

Tune in for a conversation that just might change how you see life, science, and the self.
