> /Sacco and Vanzetti International Scholar/
>
> On the second anniversary of his passing, we commemorate and celebrate
> the life of Robert D’Attilio. We open our house for Bob's diverse
> wealth of friends, family and colleagues, to see the amazing legacy of
> research materials, Sacco and Vanzetti archival documents,
> correspondence, and the treasure trove of books he left for us to
> enjoy, including every topic under the sun. Because of Covid, and the
> circumstances around his passing, many of Bob's friends did not get a
> chance to really gather and grieve or celebrate his remarkable life.
> We will do just that on Nov. 27, and reflect on his enormous
> contribution to the legacy of Sacco and Vanzetti in the City of Boston.
