Margaret Fontana is on a mission. A first generation Italian-American, Fontana is the founder of ItalianAmericanGirl.com, and the founder and president of Italian-Americans in Social Media. She’s making good use of social technologies, using the tools to educate others about Italians by debunking myths and celebrating her culture. We caught up with Fontana and asked her about her new initiatives.
