Events

Carol Faenzi will be signing her book, The Stonecutter’s Aria at 
Black Dog Books, 115 South Main Street in Zionsville, on 
First Friday, September 6th from 6:00 – 8:00pm.  
Carol will speak at 7:00 about writing her book and then take questions.

The Stonecutter’s Aria is a universal story of remembrance, connection and belonging and is based on true stories of Faenzi’s Italian marble-carving, opera singing ancestors.  It is winner of the “Book of the Year’ award for historical fiction by both ForeWord Magazine and the Independent Publisher’s Group. 

The book began as a result of Faenzi taking a sabbatical from a busy corporate career in New York when she bought a one-way ticket to live in Tuscany, in search of her ancestral roots.  Her time in Italy and writing stories of her immigrant ancestors inspired her to change her life.  

Faenzi presents programs across the United States that encourage audiences to preserve their family legacies, stories and rituals using opera, photography and storytelling.  She is currently developing a screenplay adaptation of The Stonecutter’s Aria.  She is a regular column contributor to the Indianapolis Business Journal.

In addition to her creative pursuits, Faenzi has a private practice of cultivating management and leadership abilities for women and is a consultant for a variety of small business and non-profit organizations.  Faenzi splits her time between Indianapolis, New York City and her family farm in Tuscany.
