Your charming host, Rafael Valentino, provides Italian entertainment for the Italian in you.  He serves up a medley of traditional and contemporary music, news from home (whether home is Italy or Connecticut,) and community events,  but with a twist; Raf brings  it all to you in both English and Italian!

Raf came to the US from Italy in 1966,and quickly found a need to stay connected with his heritage -  so what better way than to host a radio show, in Italian and English, bringing everything about Italy, the homeland he loves, to everyone  in  Connecticut, the new home he loves.  He's been on air since 1969, and at WLIS/WMRD since 1996.
