SottileAnna Sottile's family left their lives behind in Italy to start anew in Canada, where they built a home, ran an Italian grocery store, and served their community to the best of their ability. Inevitably, as time and the world changed, traditions faded and neighbourhoods transformed. Sottile explores and dives into Anna's memories of her family’s grocery store, her home and how she now carries forward her family's legacy, creating community once again through baking, teaching, and storytelling. By sharing these traditions in the space her family established, Anna fosters a sense of community within her neighbourhood for a new generation. |
