Last year I was honored to fill an empty store front in Downtown Grass Valley highlighting contributions made by Italian immigrants in the California Motherlode.
Recently, California passed a resolution designating October as Italian American Heritage Month. The resolution promotes the inclusion of the role and contributions of Italian Americans to the culture and history of California and the United States.
In honor of Italian American Heritage Month, an exhibit entitled “Sunshine and Struggle: The Italian Experience in Los Angeles, 1827-1927” will be on display in the Capitol during October and November. This landmark exposition explores the largely unknown history of Italians in Los Angeles.
Additionally, I recommend checking out 31 Days of Italians. Every year Janice Therese Mancuso lists 31 significant Italian contributors to our nation and world. You can visit her Web site at http://tinyurl.com/yjddxn3.
Buona Salute!
