Who is behind this project?
I Am Books is a brainchild of Nicola Orichuia, a 33-year-old native Italian who has been living and working in the United States as a journalist since 2008. An immigrant himself, Nicola has been passionately covering the Italian American communities of Chicago (2008-10) and Boston (2010-now). In 2011, he launched the website bostoniano.info to give the Boston community an online presence and voice, and in Dec. 2012, he launched Bostoniano, Boston's Italian American Voice — a monthly print magazine distributed all over the city and its suburbs.
