"…this book makes a solid contribution to an underexamined area of the Italian American experience. And in doing so it does indeed help recover the memory of something largely forgotten." — Italian American Review"…[an] important work … Rich in both context and narrative detail, Beyond Memory not only preserves, but revitalizes and updates the culturally crucial history of Italian Protestants in Italy and America." — Voices in Italian Americana"…elegantly written … an important story that contributes to the exiguous literature on Italian Protestantism in the United States and Italy. This is a book that should be on the shelves of all interested in the Italian and Italian-American experience, as well as those in religious and immigration studies. The author is to be congratulated for such a rich and compelling contribution to a field of study that ought to be better known by Italianists." — Centro Altreitalie
