This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Today, I am joined by award-winning filmmaker Peter Miller, whose work has consistently brought stories of cultural icons, history, and the human spirit to the screen. In his documentaries from Sacco & Vanzetti, to Frank Lloyd Wright to the most recent “Marcella”, Peter often spotlights subjects whose lives resonate far beyond their own fields. In his latest work "Marcella", a documentary celebrating the life and legacy of Marcella Hazan, the Italian cook and teacher who revolutionized the way Americans understood and cooked Italian food, Peter captures not just Marcella’s extraordinary career, but also the warmth, determination, and passion that made her a beloved figure around the world.In our conversation, Peter shares more about the making of the documentary, the many layers to Marcella from her background as a scientist in Italy to her move to NYC and her reengineering Italian food with the ingredients available to her in the new world.Peter and his wife did have a personal encounter with Marcella. How did that work out for them?Tune in and find out yourself! You can watch "Marcella" at home on several streaming platforms. Please, visit: https://marcellafilm.com/watch/
