Silvio DiCristo is the product of a typical "old-school" childhood in Brooklyn, carrying with him the angst of growing up in the ever-changing cultural backdrop of New York City in the 70's and 80's, crowded by his Italian ancestry and stereotypically large, loud family. Now in his forties, living on the opposite coast in seemingly picture-perfect California, SALutations! reveals a life of gratitude and joy. And you won't need a boundless love for daughters, romance, pizza, or the Yankees to feel the same rejuvenation about the things that matter. SALutations! disregards our potential differences, sets aside the barriers of politics, race, gender, and whatever ugliness that we allow to divide and anger us, and reaches for the sameness in all of our hearts.
