Italian Film Festival makes great debut
With only about a month to organize the first Italian Film Festival in Milwaukee, Barbara Klein, Paul Salsini and I didn't know exactly what to expect. Last night was the first of three nights at Marquette's Varsity Theater and with a turnout of more than 100 for "The Fever," we were pleased.

Cousin's story fuels Salsini's fiction debut
What does it take to turn a life-long journalist and university writing teacher into a first-time novelist? Well, in the case of Paul Salsini, who teaches at Marquette, all it took was a little inspiration to fuel the passion. Salsini's first novel, "The Cielo: A Novel of Wartime Tuscany," is the fruit of conversations he had with a cousin in Italy.
