Tale of U.S. Presidential women for Italian aficionados

As Hillary Rodham Clinton continues her quest to become the first woman President of the United States, Italy’s most prestigious cultural institute and publisher Treccani has just released a collaborative story by Mariella Radaelli and Jon Van Housen that explores the history of Presidential wives who wielded power – perhaps even running the country for a time.

The co-founders and editors of LuminosityItalia combined their multicultural and linguistic talents to offer Italian history aficionados the historical context of colorful and strong Presidential ladies, as well as the amazing tale of one who was far ahead of her time in seeking the office herself.
