Gene Fedeli, a native of Rockford, Illinois has been involved with the Italian Community of Rockford through the Greater Rockford Italian American Association (GRIAA) and the Culture and Education Committee. He first learned the art of palm weaving at an Italian Folk Art Conference on the east coast. He has been weaving for many years. Returning to Rockford with the desire to continue his learning he attended workshops with European nuns and older European citizens that had mastered the art of palm weaving. He loves to work with his hands and has many hobbies that take him on this journey through life.
