RADIOU Daniel Ott

This is the story of Pat Petriccelli and the home he is reclaiming for his family. The home near the Hamilton waterfront has been occupied by one or more members of Pat's family since the 1950s. It was the home he grew up in and the home holds countless memories. It is also a home badly needing something more than a facelift: a return to the splendor of its previous life as a portal for an Italian family coming to Canada to reap the riches of this country. In this amazing podcast, Pat walks the listener through the home and delivers an aural history not just of a building, but of a family's journey and eventual success in Canada.
