Renowned Travel Author Laura Morelli Is No Stranger In Town [VIDEO]

Imagine visiting Paris or Rome. Time is of the essence. It would be a shame to spend your days shopping for copies of artwork, glasswork or jewelry made in China. Distinguished art historian and travel writer, Laura Morelli, has created a superb guidebook series devoted to directing you to the little shops where artisans still make their authentic traditional art, passed down through the generations.

Before Laura's recent appearance at The Claire T. Carney Library Associates Program at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with her on-air. Laura Morelli is unparalleled as a travel author. You can almost see her vibrant spirit over the airwaves! And just as Laura can distinguish the fakes from authentic art, I found her to be 'the real deal', too!

A special thank you to Professor Mel Yoken for organizing the series.
