“A captivating autobiography of an extraordinary life, as dramatic as it is accomplished.”  —Kirkus Review

“The artist steps forward to disclose why a spiritual journey is required before any great art can be brought to light.” —Peter H. Falk, Editor of Discoveries in American Art

American Journey is the vivid, transformational life story of internationally acclaimed American-Italian painter Marco Sassone, who came to California in search of artistic freedom and success. His journey led him through periods of hope and despair and ultimately to the threshold of true self-fulfillment: a deeper understanding of himself and his mission as an artist.

The life he has lived and the people he has known make the memoir of this remarkable artist a wonderful revealing canvas. Dining with Sophia Loren, conversing with Luciano Pavarotti, and joking with Tina Turner at his Beverly Hills opening are all part of his California days during the 1970s.

But what makes this memoir extraordinary is Sassone’s vivid recollection of his real-life stories:

  • His childhood in post war-torn Florence in the 1950s; his beginnings as an artist in the glorious studio of his teacher overlooking Giotto’s Bell Tower; and his harrowing experience of survival during the great flood of Florence in 1966;
  • His first drawing of “Willie” in San Francisco in the late 1980s, and his extensive personal research on the homeless that led to his groundbreaking exhibition “Home on the Streets”;
  • And more recently, his reflections on the forgery of his artwork and the subsequent lawsuit in the Nevada’s Supreme Court.

Sassone also offers vivid descriptions of what takes place in his studio during the act of painting: an intimate affair that he reveals for the first time in his memoir.

American Journey is an inspiring, sometimes painful and courageous examination of a life in art. Sassone's story explores the very nature of all human beings and fulfills the inner vision that motivates them.

“‘Home on the Streets’ is brutal and unforgiving and, accordingly, unforgettable . . . You have done something very important—giving a voice to those who are silenced and dismissed, and giving an image to those of us who would prefer not to see. Thank you.” —Amy Selwyn, Associated Press

Winner, Winner! say My Three Dogs
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
I'm always looking for different treats for my three dogs (10, 20 and 30 pounds, I don't ever recall giving my dogs anything with a pumpkin flavor, so I decided to trythese i-paw pumpkin flavored treats (I got the rings). All three of my dogs took the treat immediately and went off into their separate corners to chew away (one of my dogs is pretty fussy, so I was surprised she took it without hesitation). I'm no expert in dog treat ingredients, but I didn't see anything on the ingredients list that looked objectionable. While advertised as a rawhyde replacement, these rings don't last anywhere near as long as a rawhide, so while my dogs didn't wolf them down as fast as a conventional treat, they weren't left occupied for the half hour that a rawhide of this size might have kept them entertained (except for one of my dogs, who took an hour to finish hers, but she only has 7 teeth left in her mouth, so that's not really a fair comparison). I wouldn't hesitate to order these treats again for my pups.

Lab tested. Lab approved. WAY too expensive.
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
My dog likes these. But they don't really last all that long. And the package only included 5-6 rings. So that's an expensive treat, when I can get a bag of 40 dental treats (5" sticks) for the same price. Would I buy these again? No
