Marco Sassone Book Launch - " American Journey: My Life in Art"

Marco Sassone returns to the Columbus Centre for the launch of his inspirational new book, “American Journey: My Life in Art”.

The life he has lived and the people he has known make the memoir of this remarkable artist such a wonderful, revealing canvas. Dining with Sophia Loren, conversing with Luciano Pavarotti, and joking with Tina Turner at his own Beverly Hills opening, are all part of his California days during the ‘70s. But what makes this memoir extraordinary is Sassone’s vivid recollection of his real-life stories: his childhood in post-war-torn Florence in the ‘50s, his harrowing experience of survival during the great flood of Florence in 1966, and his extensive research on the homeless that led to his groundbreaking exhibition “Home on the Streets,” which made its Canadian premiere at the Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery in 2019.

Participants will be given the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book.
