Inspiration Stories, Music from Bill Conti and Christmas Italian-Style
Anthony
Everyday - rain or shine - people run up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the music from Rocky playing in their mind or on their iPod. Michael Vitez captured stories of hope from folks from around the globe who’ve run these famous steps in his book - Rocky Stories: Tales of Love and Happiness at America’s Most Famous Steps. Michael, Oscar- and three-time Award-winning composer Bill Conti and several people who ran the steps joined me along with my brothers - musical talent Filippo Voltaggio and business visionary Peter Vultaggio, president of the Lumi Company - to talk about inspiration. 
I ran the steps to celebrate my success in overcoming so many of the obstacles I faced in my life. We all face adversity. What we do to overcome that adversity is what transforms lives: ours and the lives of those with whom we share our story. During the show Bill Conti delighted the audience with an impromptu, live performance. He inspired me. How about you? What’s your inspiration? What are you eating for Christmas dinner? Drop me a line and share your story. Buon Natale and buon appetito!
