What Does Your
Italian-American Heritage Mean to You?
Each of us might
answer this question differently.
For some, our Italian-American
heritage is expressed in the way we prepare traditional holiday meals,
celebrate religious traditions, or relate to family and friends.
Some of us speak
Italian and travel to Italy regularly.
Some of us were raised
in traditional Italian-American neighborhoods.
Most of us share
in the appreciation of Italy's countless contributions to architecture,
art, law, literature, music, painting, and science.
However we decide to
express our pride in our heritage, as immigrants or descendants of those
who left their Italian homes for a new life in America, we are part of
the enduring, strong, and colorful community-- Italian America.
